please_v to_o observe_v three_o thing_n the_o first_o his_o severe_a deal_n with_o roman-catholic_n the_o second_o his_o comical_a and_o jest_a way_n of_o express_v himself_o the_o three_o his_o

the_o book_n must_v be_v suppress_v dr._n stillingfleet_n be_v direct_o of_o the_o bishop_n mind_n he_o will_v stroke_v we_o no_o more_o he_o will_v not_o court_v we_o into_o the_o same_o church_n or_o flatter_v we_o with_o the_o hope_n of_o salvation_n as_o he_o have_v do_v former_o he_o be_v now_o all_o for_o dry_a blow_n and_o down_o right_o strike_v and_o will_v not_o be_v content_a with_o any_o less_o charge_n to_o beat_v down_o popery_n than_o that_o of_o fanaticism_n idolatry_n and_o unavoidable_a damnation_n how_o in_o consequent_o to_o his_o own_o maxim_n you_o have_v partly_o

the_o very_a same_o argument_n which_o he_o bring_v to_o prove_v catholic_n guilty_a of_o that_o crime_n and_o the_o author_n have_v he_o be_v dispose_v can_v with_o as_o much_o ease_n have_v prove_v

this_o argument_n be_v far_o short_a of_o prove_v we_o fanatic_n because_o we_o own_v nothing_o in_o this_o kind_n but_o what_o be_v approve_v of_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n which_o
