a_o brief_a answer_n to_o f._n bugg's_o brief_a reply_n to_o the_o consideration_n humble_o offer_v by_o the_o people_n call_v quaker_n relate_v to_o the_o bill_n for_o restrain_v the_o licentiousness_n of_o the_o press_n it_o have_v be_v the_o know_a practice_n of_o the_o say_v f._n b._n of_o late_a year_n not_o only_o to_o buisy_n himself_o to_o interrupt_v our_o application_n to_o the_o parliament_n by_o his_o abusive_a pamphlet_n but_o now_o strive_v to_o have_v we_o debar_v of_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o press_n that_o he_o may_v more_o easy_o misrepresent_v our_o christian_a profession_n and_o calumniate_v we_o without_o detection_n as_o appear_v in_o his_o say_a pretend_a reply_n and_o therefore_o the_o more_o necessity_n that_o we_o the_o say_a people_n shall_v not_o be_v debar_v of_o the_o press_n for_o our_o just_a defence_n according_a to_o holy_a scripture_n that_o we_o may_v not_o be_v defame_a in_o our_o christian_a reputation_n as_o seditious_a or_o blasphemous_a according_a to_o his_o usual_a method_n he_o begin_v with_o a_o pervert_v quotation_n upon_o our_o consideration_n thus_o viz._n yet_o say_v they_o to_o limit_v the_o press_n we_o conceive_v unsafe_a instead_o of_o to_o limit_v religious_a book_n to_o a_o licence_n etc._n etc._n thus_o he_o stumble_v at_o the_o threshold_n and_o impose_v on_o the_o reader_n and_o as_o false_a it_o be_v that_o the_o quaker_n be_v guilty_a of_o print_v and_o publish_v seditious_a and_o scandalous_a pamphlet_n and_o as_o unjust_o infer_v that_o therefore_o a_o restraint_n on_o they_o they_o think_v unsafe_a 1._o of_o kingly_a government_n about_o earthly_a king_n etc._n etc._n he_o give_v curtail_v and_o break_a quotation_n but_o not_o the_o date_n of_o the_o several_a paper_n he_o mention_n which_o however_o pervert_v we_o take_v the_o general_n import_n thereof_o to_o mean_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v king_n over_o true_a christian_n conscience_n and_o his_o own_o spiritual_a kingdom_n which_o be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n and_o not_o earthly_a or_o persecute_v king_n as_o be_v mention_v 2._o of_o parliament_n we_o find_v not_o f._n howgill_n

the_o council_n of_o officer_n against_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n in_o the_o commonwealth_n day_n or_o what_o any_o one_o tell_v they_o thereof_o 64._o thereof_o see_v truth_n and_o innocency_n pag._n 64._o or_o be_v it_o a_o good_a argument_n that_o because_o the_o corruption_n and_o bad_a life_n of_o earthly_a king_n and_o government_n as_o also_o their_o end_n be_v upon_o record_n both_o in_o history_n and_o sacred_a writ_n that_o therefore_o all_o such_o history_n and_o write_n or_o citation_n out_o of_o they_o be_v seditious_a or_o because_o some_o have_v write_v against_o the_o oppression_n of_o former_a persecute_v king_n and_o parliament_n be_v it_o a_o good_a inference_n that_o therefore_o the_o quaker_n ought_v not_o to_o have_v liberty_n of_o the_o press_n to_o defend_v their_o religious_a persuasion_n christian_a profession_n or_o innocency_n when_o they_o have_v not_o the_o least_o design_n of_o sedition_n or_o scandal_n against_o the_o civil_a government_n or_o
