A51154	An apology for the clergy of Scotland chiefly oppos'd to the censures, calumnies, and accusations of a late Presbyterian vindicator, in a letter to a friend : wherein his vanity, partiality and sophistry are modestly reproved, and the legal establishment of episcopacy in that kingdom, from the beginning of the Reformation, is made evident from history and the records of Parliament : together with a postscript, relating to a scandalous pamphlet intituled, An answer to The Scotch Presbyterian eloquence.	Monro, Alexander, d. 1715?	1693 (1693)	Wing M2437; ESTC R20155	87,009	107

from_o all_o imputation_n of_o cruelty_n and_o violence_n and_o therefore_o unless_o we_o prove_v they_o sober_a and_o intelligent_a he_o think_v all_o our_o complaint_n of_o the_o outrage_n and_o

the_o donatist_n in_o africa_n as_o ready_o all_o schismatic_n do_v split_v themselves_o into_o two_o great_a faction_n viz._n the_o primianist_n and_o the_o maximianist_n what_o sacrilegious_a

another_o apology_n for_o the_o presbyterian_o of_o scotland_n he_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o orthodox_n clergy_n in_o the_o western_a shire_n be_v miserable_o harass_v but_o the_o sober_a and_o

to_o disprove_v all_o the_o complaint_n make_v by_o the_o episcopal_a clergy_n as_o if_o the_o cameronian_n be_v a_o new_a species_n of_o schismatic_n different_a from_o the_o presbyterian_o and_o that_o we_o have_v three_o considerable_a division_n of_o christian_n in_o scotland_n the_o episcopal_a party_n the_o presbyterian_o and_o the_o cameronian_n whereas_o indeed_o we_o know_v of_o none_o

those_o presbyterian_o who_o he_o nickname_n cameronian_n do_v assert_v their_o presbyterian_a principle_n when_o other_o be_v very_o silent_a and_o upon_o this_o they_o value_v themselves_o as_o the_o most_o pious_a active_a and_o ingenuous_a of_o the_o whole_a party_n who_o differ_v not_o from_o other_o in_o their_o principle_n but_o do_v exceed_v some_o of_o their_o brethren_n in_o high_a

when_o the_o magistrate_n be_v slack_a or_o remiss_a in_o his_o duty_n or_o opposite_a unto_o the_o design_a reformation_n now_o the_o removal_n of_o the_o episcopal_a clergy_n upon_o their_o

into_o a_o high_a ferment_n they_o be_v successor_n of_o judas_n iscariot_n and_o rabshake_v no_o doubt_v the_o sister_n will_v think_v that_o the_o vindicator_n be_v a_o precious_a convince_a man_n

two_o thousand_o man_n of_o the_o king_n disband_v force_n that_o with_o they_o he_o 40._o may_v surprise_v the_o convention_n when_o all_o the_o nation_n know_v that_o when_o he_o retire_v from_o

retire_v from_o edinburgh_n by_o all_o the_o vagabond_n russian_n that_o come_v from_o the_o west_n let_v the_o vindicator_n recollect_v himself_o a_o little_a and_o inquire_v where_o he_o have_v this_o information_n what_o my_o lord_n dundee_n intend_v be_v not_o the_o subject_a of_o our_o present_a enquiry_n but_o i_o be_o very_o sure_a that_o if_o he_o have_v have_v the_o four_o part_n of_o that_o number_n the_o vindicator_n allege_v he_o can_v have_v quick_o make_v the_o convention_n at_o that_o time_n retire_v and_o this_o i_o confident_o think_v though_o the_o vindicator_n confute_v

in_o scotland_n place_v their_o confidence_n in_o none_o high_a than_o my_o lord_n dundee_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a to_o shun_v those_o venomous_a dart_n of_o spite_n and_o ill_a nature_n so_o when_o ever_o you_o speak_v to_o a_o presbyterian_a i_o advise_v you_o to_o take_v good_a heed_n what_o you_o say_v and_o how_o if_o you_o do_v not_o say_v every_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v say_v they_o be_v sure_a to_o conclude_v that_o what_o be_v leave_v unsay_v be_v not_o at_o all_o believe_v by_o you_o so_o when_o mr._n morer_fw-la write_v again_o he_o must_v tell_v his_o patron_n that_o though_o such_o a_o change_n be_v probable_a according_a to_o the_o situation_n of_o affair_n at_o that_o time_n yet_o the_o episcopal_a party_n place_v their_o confidence_n in_o god_n for_o if_o his_o word_n be_v not_o thus_o guard_v the_o presbyterian_o will_v immediate_o conclude_v that_o the_o episcopal_a party_n be_v but_o a_o pack_n of_o atheist_n that_o place_v no_o confidence_n in_o god_n but_o lean_a on_o the_o arm_n of_o flesh_n i_o return_v from_o this_o digression_n to_o that_o that_o i_o late_o mention_v viz._n the_o vindicator_n story_n of_o two_o thousand_o disband_v soldier_n which_o carry_v with_o it_o all_o the_o mark_n by_o which_o a_o wilful_a and_o deliberate_a lie_n may_v be_v know_v from_o modest_a and_o ingenuous_a truth_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o instance_n in_o this_o particular_a be_v because_o the_o vindicator_n be_v at_o edinburgh_n or_o not_o far_o from_o it_o about_o that_o time_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o probable_a but_o that_o he_o may_v have_v know_v the_o truth_n and_o from_o this_o i_o conclude_v that_o either_o he_o lie_v deliberate_o and_o wilful_o or_o his_o informer_n be_v liar_n and_o idle_a talker_n or_o at_o best_o he_o himself_o be_v guilty_a of_o supine_n negligence_n in_o gather_v true_a information_n for_o to_o do_v he_o justice_n i_o promise_v to_o retract_v this_o public_o if_o he_o get_v five_o or_o six_o man_n of_o any_o note_n even_o among_o the_o presbyterian_o in_o edinburgh_n who_o will_v declare_v it_o under_o their_o hand_n that_o they_o know_v that_o my_o lord_n dundee_n have_v gather_v together_o two_o thousand_o disband_v soldier_n at_o edinburgh_n before_o he_o retire_v from_o the_o convention_n and_o the_o vindicator_n himself_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o this_o be_v a_o extraordinary_a piece_n of_o condescension_n that_o i_o shall_v leave_v it_o to_o be_v decide_v by_o the_o testimony_n of_o presbyterian_o themselves_z since_o he_o reject_v all_o episcopal_a witness_n the_o next_o thing_n i_o instance_n as_o to_o his_o candour_n and_o integrity_n be_v this_o that_o in_o the_o three_o page_n of_o his_o preface_n he_o edit_fw-la write_v that_o there_o be_v
