have_v already_o discourse_v be_v more_o than_o enough_o to_o prove_v the_o present_a point_n viz_o that_o the_o monarchy_n of_o england_n have_v get_v by_o the_o reformation_n and_o that_o no_o body_n but_o a_o man_n who_o either_o understand_v not_o or_o care_v not_o what_o he_o say_v will_v affirm_v the_o contrary_n the_o compendianist_n possible_o may_v here_o object_v as_o he_o seem_v to_o do_v pag._n 77._o lib_n 9_o that_o popish_a prince_n abroad_o be_v not_o sensible_a of_o these_o inconvenience_n in_o their_o religion_n nor_o do_v they_o perceive_v any_o such_o ill_a consequence_n to_o arise_v from_o the_o profession_n of_o it_o as_o the_o bishop_n of_o lincoln_n book_n and_o this_o preface_n charge_v it_o with_o but_o altogether_o the_o contrary_a for_o who_o say_v he_o find_v themselves_o so_o flourish_v and_o great_a as_o they_o i_o suppose_v he_o speak_v this_o of_o the_o french_a king_n for_o i_o know_v no_o other_o popish_a prince_n that_o be_v at_o present_a either_o flourish_a or_o great_a and_o if_o he_o mean_v that_o popery_n have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o greatness_n i_o shall_v not_o dispute_v it_o with_o he_o but_o this_o i_o will_v affirm_v and_o maintain_v against_o all_o the_o world_n that_o it_o be_v neither_o his_o own_o popery_n nor_o that_o of_o his_o subject_n though_o every_o body_n know_v the_o french_a popery_n be_v much_o gentle_a and_o more_o converseable_a sort_n of_o thing_n than_o the_o spanish_a or_o italian_a more_o pliant_a and_o submissive_a to_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n and_o more_o hospitable_a to_o stranger_n and_o dissenter_n and_o consequent_o less_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o growth_n of_o power_n and_o the_o greatness_n of_o a_o state_n than_o the_o other_o the_o privilege_n of_o the_o gallican_n church_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o sorbonne_n together_o with_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o people_n and_o the_o exclusion_n of_o the_o inquisition_n have_v a_o little_a qualify_v this_o pernicious_a imposture_n and_o temper_v the_o malignity_n of_o her_o influence_n as_o the_o most_o destructive_a plant_n do_v sometime_o lose_v the_o virulence_n of_o their_o poison_n by_o a_o change_n of_o soil_n and_o mercury_n itself_o by_o a_o mixture_n of_o ingredient_n be_v render_v innocent_a physic_n i_o grant_v therefore_o that_o popery_n in_o some_o place_n and_o under_o some_o circumstance_n of_o alloy_n may_v not_o absolute_o hinder_v but_o it_o can_v never_o be_v the_o cause_n nor_o of_o itself_o in_o any_o degree_n contribute_v to_o the_o prosperity_n of_o either_o prince_n or_o people_n for_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o principle_n it_o teach_v and_o the_o consequence_n it_o draw_v after_o it_o do_v evident_o tend_v as_o i_o have_v already_o make_v appear_v to_o the_o lessen_v of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o impoverish_n of_o the_o other_o indeed_o to_o the_o ruin_n of_o both_o and_o if_o popery_n have_v not_o at_o all_o time_n and_o in_o all_o place_n so_o bad_a a_o effect_n it_o must_v be_v attribute_v to_o some_o such_o cause_n as_o i_o have_v now_o mention_v which_o do_v in_o france_n serve_v to_o take_v out_o the_o sting_n of_o this_o monstrous_a beast_n this_o spawn_n of_o the_o old_a serpent_n and_o prevent_v the_o mischief_n which_o it_o be_v otherwise_o so_o apt_a to_o do_v the_o blast_v it_o will_v infallible_o bring_v upon_o the_o ordinary_a fruit_n of_o good_a government_n and_o the_o common_a end_n of_o civil_a society_n to_o conclude_v this_o point_n if_o any_o prince_n or_o state_n happen_v by_o some_o favourable_a conjuncture_n and_o fortunate_a accident_n to_o be_v great_a with_o or_o rather_o notwithstanding_o popery_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o they_o will_v be_v either_o of_o they_o much_o great_a without_o it_o it_o be_v now_o leave_v to_o the_o reader_n to_o judge_v upon_o a_o due_a considerate_a ion_n of_o the_o whole_a what_o a_o excellent_a engine_n this_o popery_n will_v prove_v to_o buoy_v up_o a_o sink_a monarchy_n and_o make_v it_o again_o emerge_n as_o the_o compendianist_n call_v it_o in_o his_o pedantical_a latin_a phrase_n be_v we_o in_o that_o desperate_a low_a condition_n to_o need_v it_o which_o i_o hope_v it_o be_v far_o from_o or_o if_o it_o do_v at_o present_a decline_n i_o be_o sure_a no_o man_n in_o his_o right_a wit_n except_o this_o author_n will_v say_v it_o be_v for_o want_n of_o popery_n what_o kind_n of_o man_n be_v those_o protestant_n then_o who_o if_o we_o may_v take_v the_o compendianist_n own_o word_n for_o it_o will_v recommend_v to_o his_o majesty_n in_o a_o case_n of_o extremity_n this_o dry_a antiquate_a drugge_n this_o useless_a lump_n of_o formality_n and_o foppery_n this_o discover_a cheat_n this_o insulter_n and_o brave_a of_o crown_v head_n this_o usurper_n upon_o the_o right_n of_o prince_n this_o enemy_n to_o god_n anoint_v i_o say_v what_o kind_n of_o creature_n must_v these_o be_v they_o be_v certain_o a_o species_n by_o themselves_o and_o have_v not_o the_o same_o common_a faculty_n and_o way_n of_o understanding_n with_o other_o christian_a people_n if_o at_o least_o there_o be_v any_o such_o which_o i_o will_v not_o be_v overpositive_a in_o upon_o the_o authority_n of_o this_o writer_n for_o some_o of_o his_o story_n be_v as_o unlikely_a to_o use_v his_o own_o word_n about_o the_o plot_n as_o any_o

will_v warrant_v they_o they_o be_v as_o good_a catholic_n as_o himself_o do_v he_o indeed_o think_v to_o put_v this_o upon_o we_o that_o protestant_n be_v for_o the_o bring_n in_o popery_n he_o may_v as_o well_o hope_v to_o make_v we_o believe_v transubstantiation_n itself_o it_o be_v a_o contradiction_n in_o term_n a_o errant_a bull._n however_o upon_o this_o occasion_n i_o can_v but_o reflect_v that_o i_o have_v sometime_o meet_v with_o a_o sort_n of_o ridiculous_a animal_n common_o call_v protestant_n indeed_o who_o head_n be_v giddy_a and_o who_o brain_n turn_v round_o with_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o catholic_a church_n and_o a_o visible_a succession_n of_o bishop_n ever_o since_o the_o apostle_n who_o run_v stark_o mad_a in_o love_n with_o reverend_a word_n holy_a place_n consecrate_a habit_n and_o godly_a gesture_n who_o have_v abundance_n of_o odd_a superstitious_a zeal_n with_o not_o one_o grain_n of_o true_a sense_n disciple_n of_o heylin_n and_o thornedike_n in_o a_o word_n a_o kind_n of_o l'estrange_n protestant_n man_n who_o have_v list_v themselves_o in_o our_o service_n and_o rank_v on_o our_o side_n only_o to_o betray_v our_o cause_n and_o give_v our_o

our_o head_n and_o bury_v we_o in_o the_o ruin_n now_o what_o discourse_n these_o sort_n of_o man_n have_v have_v with_o the_o compendianist_n i_o can_v tell_v nor_o be_o much_o concern_v i_o will_v not_o dispute_v but_o that_o it_o be_v possible_a they_o may_v have_v acknowledge_v some_o such_o thing_n as_o he_o affirm_v for_o their_o politic_n be_v much_o of_o a_o pitch_n with_o their_o

foolish_a and_o absurd_a yet_o do_v they_o take_v it_o heinous_o ill_a to_o be_v think_v papist_n and_o particular_o mr._n l'estrange_n seem_v more_o than_o ordinary_o disturb_v when_o he_o find_v

promote_v the_o design_n and_o serve_v the_o interest_n of_o that_o party_n i_o think_v nothing_o be_v plain_a than_o that_o the_o great_a endeavour_n of_o the_o papist_n ever_o since_o the_o
