this_o person_n the_o jesuit_n resolve_v to_o make_v a_o proselyte_n to_o the_o roman_a church_n and_o then_o doubt_v not_o but_o he_o will_v be_v fit_a for_o their_o purpose_n and_o that_o they_o may_v the_o more_o easy_o gain_v upon_o he_o they_o first_o screw_v themselves_o into_o his_o acquaintance_n and_o pretend_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o love_n and_o kindness_n to_o he_o by_o which_o mean_n he_o entertain_v a_o good_a opinion_n of_o they_o and_o the_o more_o to_o indee_a their_o acquaintance_n to_o he_o and_o ingratiate_v themselves_o with_o he_o they_o also_o offer_v to_o help_v he_o to_o a_o wife_n which_o be_v indeed_o the_o only_a way_n to_o gain_v he_o and_o these_o factor_n for_o hell_n have_v provide_v one_o for_o he_o against_o who_o wealth_n and_o beauty_n he_o can_v make_v no_o exception_n and_o therefore_o ready_o accept_v of_o the_o match_n and_o now_o when_o jephson_n think_v upon_o nothing_o but_o be_v marry_v there_o be_v a_o difficulty_n start_v that_o he_o be_v not_o a_o ware_n of_o which_o be_v that_o this_o gentlewoman_n have_v make_v a_o vow_n never_o to_o marry_v any_o person_n but_o a_o roman_n catholic_n and_o therefore_o he_o must_v either_o lose_v his_o love_n or_o change_v his_o religion_n in_o this_o doubtful_a case_n he_o repair_v to_o his_o old_a friend_n the_o jesuite_n and_o tell_v they_o what_o obstruction_n he_o meet_v with_o and_o desire_v their_o advice_n which_o you_o may_v easy_o guess_v be_v to_o change_v his_o religion_n for_o now_o they_o open_v themselves_o to_o he_o and_o tell_v he_o that_o the_o salvation_n of_o his_o soul_n be_v as_o well_o concern_v therein_o as_o the_o obtain_n of_o his_o mistress_n and_o therefore_o advise_v he_o to_o hesitate_n no_o long_o about_o it_o give_v he_o several_a other_o reason_n to_o sway_v he_o to_o take_v their_o advice_n but_o whether_o it_o be_v the_o force_n of_o their_o reason_n or_o the_o desire_n of_o obtain_v his_o mistress_n that_o prevail_v with_o he_o most_o i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o determine_v though_o i_o rather_o think_v it_o be_v the_o latter_a however_o it_o be_v he_o renounce_v the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o declare_v himself_o a_o papist_n and_o now_o the_o gentlewoman_n may_v marry_v he_o and_o yet_o not_o break_v she_o vow_n in_o expectation_n whereof_o he_o address_v himself_o to_o she_o and_o give_v she_o a_o account_n of_o his_o conversion_n as_o he_o term_v it_o but_o the_o young_a man_n find_v himself_o extreme_o deceive_v for_o their_o arise_v another_o remora_n much_o more_o insuperable_a than_o the_o former_a for_o he_o have_v declare_v himself_o a_o papist_n they_o now_o think_v themselves_o sure_a of_o he_o and_o be_v resolve_v in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o have_v their_o design_n upon_o he_o and_o now_o a_o opportunity_n as_o they_o think_v present_v itself_o for_o you_o must_v know_v the_o jesuit_n in_o ireland_n be_v carry_v on_o the_o same_o design_n as_o those_o in_o england_n and_o because_o the_o kill_v of_o the_o lord_n lieutenant_n which_o it_o be_v strong_o presume_v they_o design_v be_v a_o difficult_a and_o hazardous_a undertake_n they_o agree_v to_o make_v this_o novice_n jephson_n the_o instrument_n of_o it_o a_o young_a and_o rich_a wife_n they_o know_v be_v the_o bait_n that_o draw_v he_o to_o change_v his_o religion_n and_o they_o be_v resolve_v upon_o the_o same_o account_n to_o draw_v he_o in_o to_o commit_v this_o execrable_a murder_n and_o therefore_o when_o jephson_n urge_v that_o he_o may_v be_v marry_v see_v he_o be_v become_v a_o romanist_n they_o tell_v he_o that_o he_o be_v too_o hasty_a for_o he_o must_v first_o do_v something_o to_o assure_v she_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o conversion_n they_o tell_v he_o that_o he_o have_v do_v very_o well_o to_o come_v into_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o mother_n church_n out_o of_o which_o there_o be_v no_o salvation_n but_o yet_o till_o he_o have_v do_v some_o noble_a and_o meritorious_a act_n to_o confirm_v his_o faith_n they_o shall_v hardly_o believe_v his_o conversion_n to_o be_v real_a they_o tell_v he_o also_o that_o now_o there_o be_v a_o opportunity_n present_v itself_o wherein_o he_o may_v do_v god_n and_o the_o church_n very_o great_a service_n and_o save_v his_o own_o soul_n beside_o and_o that_o be_v in_o avenge_a his_o father_n blood_n upon_o the_o duke_n of_o ormond_n add_v that_o god_n and_o nature_n seem_v to_o have_v ordain_v he_o for_o that_o very_a work_n and_o that_o his_o father_n must_v expect_v no_o redemption_n from_o purgatory_n nor_o himself_o any_o hope_n of_o obtain_v his_o
