22.2_o and_o malice_n against_o the_o prophet_n will_v receive_v no_o admonition_n therefore_o god_n see_v he_o a_o man_n forlorn_a send_v a_o lie_a spirit_n to_o beguile_v he_o but_o here_o mark_v one_o thing_n especial_o comfortable_a to_o god_n child_n that_o when_o god_n have_v give_v satan_n commission_n to_o execute_v his_o vengeance_n upon_o the_o unbeliever_n he_o not_o only_o give_v

they_o away_o with_o lie_n this_o be_v apparent_a in_o the_o history_n of_o the_o trial_n of_o job_n where_o satan_n his_o first_o commission_n be_v to_o touch_v his_o good_n and_o the_o second_o to_o

send_v deceitful_a workman_n into_o his_o church_n chapter_n 9_o eight_o reason_n unaunswerable_a prove_v all_o perfect_a papist_n rotten-hearted_a subject_n to_o all_o true_a christian_n prince_n there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o people_n who_o fain_o will_v that_o david_n shall_v always_o sing_v of_o mercy_n that_o as_o it_o may_v seem_v by_o excessive_a clemency_n our_o sovereign_n may_v nourish_v a_o serpent_n in_o her_o own_o bosom_n wherefore_o although_o this_o matter_n have_v be_v handle_v heretofore_o of_o such_o learned_a and_o godly_a man_n as_o tender_v the_o safety_n of_o

my_o hand_n to_o my_o brethren_n and_o to_o prove_v that_o no_o perfect_a papist_n can_v be_v sound_a &_o faithful_a subject_n to_o their_o christian_n prince_n and_o i_o say_v perfect_a papist_n because_o that_o every_o one_o that_o be_v blemish_v or_o hold_v any_o one_o error_n or_o article_n of_o doctrine_n that_o the_o pope_n hold_v as_o perhaps_o purgatory_n or_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a be_v in_o that_o article_n a_o papist_n yet_o i_o count_v not_o every_o one_o that_o thus_o be_v taint_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o false_a heartednes_n to_o the_o realm_n or_o under_o the_o title_n of_o traitorous_a papist_n for_o many_o otherwise_o sound_a subject_n be_v not_o purge_v from_o all_o infection_n wherewith_o the_o whorish_a church_n have_v poison_v they_o wherefore_o the_o consequent_a reason_n must_v be_v understand_v of_o perfect_a papist_n who_o heart_n since_o they_o be_v italianate_a i_o thus_o frame_v my_o first_o reason_n to_o prove_v they_o rot_v heart_a subject_n the_o first_o reason_n prove_v perfect_a papist_n traitorous_a subject_n to_o christian_a prince_n all_o good_a subject_n which_o obey_v for_o conscience_n as_o every_o one_o ought_v to_o do_v must_v have_v their_o conscience_n enfome_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o perfect_a papist_n hate_v our_o assembly_n despise_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n which_o shall_v direct_v their_o conscience_n both_o in_o duty_n towards_o god_n and_o loyalty_n towards_o their_o prince_n and_o in_o stead_n thereof_o entertain_v a_o strange_a worship_n therefore_o perfect_a papist_n can_v be_v sound_a heart_a subject_n i_o have_v hear_v wise_a man_n say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o knot_n of_o thief_n so_o dangerous_a as_o when_o there_o be_v
