the_o true_a protestant_n appeal_v to_o the_o city_n and_o country_n gentleman_n and_o worthy_a fellow-citizen_n and_o subject_n i_o have_v overcome_v myself_o for_o your_o sake_n in_o two_o difficulty_n which_o it_o may_v be_v have_v hinder_v many_o a_o honest_a man_n from_o speak_v necessary_a truth_n the_o one_o be_v fear_n the_o other_o a_o expectation_n that_o some_o other_o person_n better_a able_a to_o discharge_v it_o will_v have_v undertake_v the_o province_n for_o the_o first_o i_o consider_v why_o shall_v any_o englishman_n be_v afraid_a to_o make_v use_n of_o his_o native_a liberty_n to_o speak_v the_o truth_n and_o discharge_v his_o conscience_n especial_o when_o so_o many_o busy_a man_n be_v become_v so_o bold_a not_o only_o to_o whisper_v but_o loud_o to_o proclaim_v disloyalty_n and_o be_v not_o satisfy_v to_o curse_v the_o king_n in_o their_o thought_n in_o their_o bedchamber_n but_o be_v advance_v to_o the_o confidence_n to_o print_v and_o publish_v such_o reflection_n upon_o his_o most_o sacred_a majesty_n and_o the_o government_n as_o now_o by_o law_n establish_v as_o make_v the_o ear_n of_o loyal_a subject_n tingle_v i_o confess_v i_o wait_v with_o impatience_n to_o see_v some_o bold_a and_o generous_a pen_n endeavour_v to_o arrest_v the_o torrent_n and_o stem_v the_o tide_n but_o have_v still_o be_v defeat_v in_o my_o expectation_n deter_v i_o suppose_v from_o what_o be_v every_o true_a englishman_n and_o good_a protestant_n duty_n by_o a_o prevail_a timorousness_n lest_o they_o shall_v be_v brand_v with_o the_o infamous_a name_n of_o jesuit_n papist_n or_o popish_o affect_v i_o expect_v the_o same_o fate_n but_o yet_o name_n which_o be_v only_o the_o scum_n and_o foam_n of_o arbitrary_a and_o popular_a defamer_n shall_v never_o fright_v i_o nor_o aught_o to_o do_v any_o person_n out_o of_o the_o duty_n we_o owe_v to_o god_n our_o king_n and_o our_o country_n i_o perfect_o hate_v and_o abhor_v all_o popery_n superstition_n and_o innovation_n in_o the_o church_n and_o all_o that_o know_v i_o who_o be_v not_o inconsiderable_a either_o for_o number_n or_o quality_n know_v i_o to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n of_o england-kings-protestant_n i_o do_v no_o less_o detest_v and_o abhor_v all_o other_o schismatical_a practice_n and_o persuasion_n treacherous_a and_o disloyal_a doctrine_n and_o action_n of_o commonwealth-protestants_a and_o all_o those_o whether_o papist_n or_o schismatic_n who_o though_o they_o disclaim_v the_o odious_a doctrine_n yet_o agree_v in_o the_o horrid_a and_o abominable_a fact_n of_o king-killing_a let_v they_o either_o or_o both_o look_v never_o so_o demure_o upon_o the_o matter_n and_o endeavour_v to_o wash_v their_o hand_n of_o it_o by_o accuse_v one_o another_o this_o thing_n be_v not_o do_v in_o a_o corner_n but_o in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o then_o avow_v by_o dissenting-protestants_a both_o in_o the_o public_a memoirs_fw-fr of_o their_o

accuser_n and_o whatever_o good_a opinion_n other_o may_v have_v of_o this_o generation_n of_o man_n i_o be_o not_o to_o dissemble_v but_o tell_v they_o such_o truth_n as_o may_v prick_v they_o to_o the_o heart_n and_o wound_v they_o into_o true_a repentance_n and_o that_o they_o lie_v under_o a_o more_o heavy_a guilt_n than_o the_o very_a jew_n for_o the_o apostle_n excuse_v they_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n of_o the_o guilt_n of_o innocent_a blood_n i_o know_v brethren_n that_o you_o do_v it_o ignorant_o for_o have_v you_o know_v the_o lord_n of_o life_n and_o glory_n you_o will_v not_o have_v crucify_v he_o they_o will_v have_v have_v pilate_n alter_v his_o superscription_n from_o this_o be_v the_o king_n of_o the_o jew_n into_o that_o he_o say_v he_o be_v the_o king_n of_o the_o jew_n but_o these_o shameless_a and_o unblume_v man_n slay_v their_o natural_a liege_n lord_n with_o the_o impudent_a formality_n of_o pretend_a justice_n banish_v the_o lawful_a heir_n and_o take_v

art_n of_o sham_v plot_n upon_o the_o presbyterian_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o it_o the_o whole_a nation_n be_v sensible_a of_o their_o design_n by_o their_o endeavour_n we_o know_v the_o man_n and_o their_o conversation_n all_o honest_a man_n believe_v the_o popish_a plot_n and_o have_v a_o detestation_n both_o against_o the_o principle_n and_o practice_n of_o popery_n and_o it_o will_v be_v more_o vigorous_o prosecute_v if_o commonwealth_n protestant_n do_v not_o endeavour_v so_o visible_o to_o make_v a_o hand_n of_o it_o to_o play_v their_o own_o game_n and_o if_o it_o either_o suffer_v in_o its_o reputation_n or_o by_o delay_n we_o be_v oblige_v to_o dissenter_n for_o it_o who_o by_o their_o mutinous_a seditious_a behaviour_n their_o elevate_a hope_n insolent_a and_o opprobrious_a language_n against_o the_o church_n and_o king_n protestant_n have_v put_v it_o beyond_o dispute_n that_o they_o be_v attempt_v to_o play_v the_o old_a game_n again_o and_o have_v get_v a_o real_a popish_a plot_n resolve_v to_o make_v that_o do_v the_o same_o feat_n which_o before_o they_o do_v under_o the_o bare_a pretence_n of_o one_o viz._n the_o alteration_n and_o ruin_n of_o the_o government_n establish_v both_o in_o church_n and_o state_n let_v they_o never_o think_v to_o put_v out_o our_o eye_n quite_o with_o the_o dust_n which_o they_o raise_v and_o the_o preface_n of_o loyalty_n which_o they_o make_v their_o predecessor_n do_v the_o very_a same_o and_z i_o think_v be_v the_o better_o breed_v and_o more_o mannerly_a of_o the_o two_o but_o if_o they_o mean_v as_o

and_o government_n in_o church_n and_o state_n as_o it_o be_v by_o law_n now_o establish_v against_o all_o person_n who_o shall_v attempt_v to_o take_v away_o the_o one_o or_o alter_v and_o subvert_v the_o other_o but_o not_o one_o commonwealth_n protestant_a that_n will_v agree_v to_o say_v or_o swear_v this_o and_o if_o they_o neither_o can_v not_o will_v do_v it_o judge_v all_o you_o people_n what_o protestant_n what_o christian_n they_o be_v truth_n need_v no_o little_a art_n to_o support_v its_o credit_n it_o be_v design_n that_o use_v paint_n and_o varnish_v we_o king_n and_o
