promise_n when_o he_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n against_o the_o repeal_n of_o the_o penal_a law_n show_v not_o his_o insincerity_n but_o her_o uncharitableness_n or_o that_o real_o she_o have_v a_o

with_o his_o own_o his_o word_n show_v he_o intend_v that_o his_o own_o shall_v live_v though_o other_o may_v reign_v i_o say_v again_o it_o be_v not_o credible_a that_o a_o prince_n of_o any_o

more_o conscience_n to_o uphold_v a_o religion_n he_o can_v be_v of_o than_o of_o give_v ease_n to_o one_o his_o conscience_n oblige_v he_o to_o be_v of_o i_o can_v imagine_v how_o this_o thought_n can_v enter_v into_o any_o head_n that_o have_v brain_n or_o heart_n that_o have_v honesty_n and_o to_o say_v true_a they_o must_v be_v a_o sort_n of_o state_n conscience_n conscience_n as_o by_o

first_o that_o she_o think_v herself_o shake_v if_o the_o penal_a law_n be_v repeal_v then_o by_o law_n establish_v she_o must_v mean_v establish_v by_o those_o penal_a law_n second_o that_o the_o king_n have_v promise_v to_o maintain_v she_o as_o by_o law_n establish_v he_o ought_v not_o to_o endeavour_v their_o repeal_n by_o which_o she_o be_v establish_v i_o confess_v this_o be_v very_o close_o argue_v but_o then_o she_o must_v not_o take_v it_o ill_o if_o all_o man_n think_v she_o ill_o found_v for_o any_o thing_n must_v be_v so_o that_o be_v establish_v by_o destroy_a law_n law_n that_o time_n and_o practice_n have_v declare_v enemy_n to_o property_n and_o conscience_n o_o let_v she_o not_o hold_v by_o that_o charter_n nor_o point_v thither_o for_o her_o establishment_n and_o

be_v a_o ill_a man._n shall_v the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o glory_n in_o a_o great_a light_n be_v more_o concern_v for_o her_o power_n than_o her_o credit_n to_o be_v than_o to_o be_v that_o which_o she_o shall_v be_v i_o will_v say_v far_o be_v it_o from_o she_o for_o her_o own_o sake_n and_o which_o be_v of_o much_o more_o moment_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o general_a cause_n of_o
