A34212	A missive to His Majesty of Great Britain, King James written divers yeers since by Doctor Carier ; conteining [sic] the motives of his conversion to Catholike religion ; vvith a notable fore-sight of the present distempers both in the church and state of His Majesties dominions, and his advice for the prevention thereof.

majesty_n which_o if_o the_o devil_n have_v not_o wrought_v to_o their_o hand_n they_o have_v have_v little_a to_o say_v against_o catholic_a religion_n before_o this_o day_n but_o i_o humble_o entreat_v that_o the_o fact_n of_o of_o some_o few_o man_n may_v not_o be_v for_o ever_o object_v against_o the_o truth_n of_o a_o general_a rule_n it_o be_v not_o the_o question_n which_o religion_n will_v make_v all_o your_o subject_n true_a but_o which_o religion_n be_v most_o like_a to_o make_v all_o true_a it_o be_v certain_a there_o be_v traitor_n against_o god_n and_o man_n of_o all_o religion_n and_o catholic_n as_o they_o be_v the_o best_a subject_n so_o when_o they_o fall_v to_o it_o they_o be_v the_o worst_a traitor_n but_o if_o we_o will_v look_v upon_o example_n or_o consider_v of_o reason_n the_o catholic_a be_v the_o only_a religion_n which_o as_o it_o do_v due_o subordinate_a king_n unto_o god_n so_o do_v it_o effectual_o bind_v subject_n to_o perform_v all_o lawful_a obedience_n to_o their_o king_n i_o will_v not_o repeat_v example_n because_o the_o ancient_a be_v tedious_a and_o the_o present_a be_v odious_a but_o if_o there_o can_v be_v but_o one_o king_n name_v in_o all_o the_o world_n that_o do_v ever_o receive_v honour_n from_o calvinist_n far_a than_o to_o be_v their_o champion_n or_o protector_n until_o their_o turn_n be_v serve_v than_o i_o may_v be_v content_a to_o believe_v that_o your_o majesty_n and_o your_o family_n shall_v receive_v perpetuity_n from_o they_o but_o if_o your_o calvinist_n do_v profess_v to_o honour_v you_o and_o all_o other_o calvinist_n do_v overthrow_v their_o king_n and_o prince_n wheresoever_o they_o can_v prevail_v i_o can_v hardly_o believe_v that_o you_o do_v now_o do_v it_o appear_v so_o now_o mean_v any_o more_o good_a earnest_n than_o the_o rest_n there_o be_v certain_o some_o other_o matter_n that_o they_o be_v content_a for_o a_o time_n to_o honour_v your_o majesty_n it_o can_v be_v their_o religion_n that_o tie_v they_o to_o it_o for_o it_o do_v not_o tie_v they_o to_o itself_o there_o be_v no_o principle_n of_o any_o religion_n nor_o any_o article_n of_o any_o faith_n which_o a_o calvinist_n will_v not_o call_v in_o question_n and_o either_o altogether_o deny_v or_o expound_v after_o his_o own_o fancy_n and_o if_o he_o be_v restrain_v he_o cry_v out_o by_o and_o by_o that_o he_o can_v have_v the_o liberty_n of_o his_o conscience_n and_o what_o bond_n of_o obedience_n can_v there_o be_v in_o such_o religion_n 14._o it_o be_v common_o object_v by_o statesman_n that_o it_o be_v no_o matter_n what_o opinion_n man_n hold_v in_o matter_n of_o religion_n so_o that_o they_o be_v keep_v in_o awe_n by_o justice_n and_o by_o the_o sword_n indeed_o for_o this_o world_n it_o be_v no_o matter_n at_o all_o for_o religion_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a without_o it_o to_o do_v justice_n and_o to_o keep_v man_n in_o awe_n by_o the_o sword_n in_o military_a estate_n while_o the_o sword_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n there_o be_v the_o less_o need_n of_o religion_n and_o yet_o the_o great_a and_o most_o martial_a state_n that_o ever_o be_v have_v be_v willing_a to_o use_v the_o conscience_n and_o reverence_n of_o some_o religion_n or_o other_o to_o prepare_v the_o subject_n to_o obedience_n but_o in_o a_o peaceable_a government_n such_o as_o all_o christian_a kingdom_n do_v profess_v to_o be_v if_o the_o reins_n of_o religion_n be_v let_v loose_a the_o sword_n common_o be_v too_o weak_a and_o come_v too_o late_o and_o will_v be_v like_o enough_o to_o give_v the_o day_n to_o the_o rebel_n and_o see_v the_o last_o and_o strong_a bond_n of_o justice_n be_v a_o oath_n which_o be_v a_o principal_a act_n of_o religion_n and_o be_v but_o a_o mockery_n if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o punishment_n of_o hell_n and_o the_o reward_n of_o heaven_n it_o be_v unpossible_a to_o execute_v justice_n without_o the_o help_n of_o religion_n and_o therefore_o the_o neglect_n and_o contempt_n of_o religion_n have_v ever_o be_v and_o ever_o shall_v be_v the_o forerunner_n of_o destruction_n in_o all_o settle_a state_n whatsoever_o 15._o the_o devil_n that_o

state_n but_o be_v himself_o a_o spirit_n and_o the_o father_n of_o lie_n he_o do_v first_o insinuate_v himself_o into_o man_n understanding_n by_o false_a principle_n of_o religion_n whereunto_o he_o have_v the_o more_o easy_a entrance_n because_o he_o have_v persuade_v their_o governor_n to_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n what_o opinion_n man_n hold_v in_o matter_n of_o religion_n so_o that_o they_o look_v well_o into_o their_o action_n and_o keep_v they_o in_o obedience_n which_o persuasion_n be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o the_o enemy_n that_o besiege_v a_o city_n shall_v persuade_v the_o garrison_n that_o they_o may_v surrender_v the_o castle_n unto_o he_o well_o enough_o and_o keep_v the_o base_a town_n and_o all_o the_o people_n of_o the_o town_n to_o
