any_o long_a than_o they_o serve_v for_o their_o advantage_n nay_o these_o independent_o go_v beyond_o the_o turk_n for_o they_o be_v heathen_n but_o these_o be_v atheist_n these_o acknowledge_v not_o

the_o racovian_a catechism_n this_o book_n full_o fraught_v with_o damnable_a doctrine_n deny_v the_o divinity_n of_o jesus_n christ_n o_o horrid_a blasphemy_n one_o of_o these_o i_o buy_v of_o

they_o make_v a_o laughingstock_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n deny_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o be_v god_n and_o take_v away_o the_o divinity_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o withal_o term_v the_o

to_o his_o two_o house_n of_o parliament_n and_o make_v he_o the_o most_o glorious_a prince_n that_o ever_o reign_v over_o great_a britain_n and_o yet_o cromwell_n with_o his_o minion_n hurry_v he_o

that_o have_v be_v shed_v in_o this_o nation_n in_o the_o late_a war._n i_o shall_v insist_v no_o long_o upon_o their_o perfidious_a and_o barbarous_a deal_n about_o the_o king_n see_v it_o be_v so_o

imprecation_n whereby_o god_n have_v be_v call_v to_o witness_v that_o they_o never_o intend_v any_o harm_n to_o the_o king_n person_n but_o now_o you_o may_v see_v what_o force_n a_o oath_n be_v of_o to_o bind_v these_o miscreant_n that_o rather_o than_o they_o will_v miss_v of_o their_o ambitious_a end_n will_v damn_v their_o soul_n with_o what_o face_n can_v these_o man_n appear_v before_o god_n at_o the_o last_o day_n have_v their_o hand_n imbrn_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o their_o native_a prince_n to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o all_o their_o diabolical_a action_n they_o have_v not_o only_o

ever_o come_v imprison_v of_o other_o and_o sequester_v their_o estate_n these_o be_v pure_a saint_n that_o thus_o do_v tyrannize_v over_o the_o church_n persecute_v christ_n in_o his_o member_n and_o in_o as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v endeavour_v the_o utter_a subversion_n of_o the_o true_a protestant_a religion_n by_o tolerate_v of_o all_o manner_n of_o heresy_n and_o blasphemy_n advance_v schismatical_a person_n both_o in_o church_n and_o state_n their_o main_a end_n be_v to_o bring_v in_o atheism_n and_o confusion_n and_o thus_o they_o do_v like_a julian_n the_o apostate_n by_o take_v away_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o ministry_n that_o so_o by_o poverty_n they_o may_v of_o necessity_n beforce_v to_o leave_v their_o calling_n and_o betake_v themselves_o to_o some_o other_o
