have_v give_v the_o sacrament_n and_o say_v mass_n very_o frequent_o in_o his_o popish_a vestment_n and_o for_o proof_n of_o this_o we_o have_v a_o cloud_n of_o witness_n gentleman_n you_o hear_v the_o prisoner_n be_v indict_v upon_o a_o statute_n make_v in_o the_o 27_o eliz._n which_o make_v it_o treason_n for_o any_o subject_a bear_v to_o take_v order_n from_o the_o see_v of_o rome_n and_o afterward_o to_o remain_v in_o england_n which_o law_n i_o conceive_v be_v not_o only_o make_v for_o the_o security_n of_o the_o government_n but_o also_o in_o favour_n of_o the_o lay-papists_a themselves_o for_o though_o several_a statute_n be_v make_v to_o keep_v they_o within_o the_o bound_n of_o their_o allegiance_n and_o to_o secure_v the_o government_n from_o their_o villainous_a design_n yet_o it_o be_v experimental_o find_v true_a that_o no_o danger_n or_o penalty_n whatsoever_o can_v deter_v or_o hinder_v they_o from_o plot_v against_o the_o state_n in_o order_n to_o bring_v we_o back_o again_o to_o the_o slavery_n of_o rome_n whilst_o those_o juggle_a manager_n of_o their_o conscience_n be_v suffer_v to_o come_v among_o we_o and_o therefore_o i_o may_v well_o call_v this_o statute_n upon_o which_o the_o prisoner_n stand_v indict_v a_o act_n of_o charity_n to_o the_o common_a papist_n for_o it_o be_v make_v to_o prevent_v the_o danger_n they_o will_v otherwise_o run_v themselves_o into_o as_o well_o as_o the_o nation_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o gentleman_n that_o the_o lively_a execution_n of_o this_o law_n have_v by_o the_o clemency_n of_o our_o prince_n and_o good_a nature_n of_o the_o goverenment_n be_v many_o time_n suspend_v and_o may_v yet_o have_v continue_v in_o the_o shade_n have_v not_o the_o popish_a priest_n and_o jesuit_n rouse_v up_o this_o sleep_a lion_n against_o themselves_o by_o a_o damnable_a &_o hellish_a plot_n against_o his_o majesty_n life_n the_o true_a religion_n and_o well_o establish_v government_n of_o this_o nation_n the_o reality_n of_o which_o have_v be_v confirm_v to_o we_o not_o only_o by_o the_o unanswerable_a evidence_n of_o colemans_n paper_n and_o other_o loyal_a proof_n but_o also_o by_o frequent_a proclamation_n and_o the_o uniform_a vote_n and_o resolution_n of_o several_a parliament_n i_o may_v therefore_o very_a well_o borrow_v the_o word_n of_o a_o great_a man_n upon_o the_o like_a occasion_n and_o say_v that_o at_o this_o time_n of_o the_o day_n it_o be_v much_o better_a to_o be_v rid_v of_o one_o priest_n than_o many_o felon_n and_o therefore_o gentleman_n if_o our_o
