a_o enquiry_n into_o the_o reason_n for_o abrogate_a the_o test_n impose_v on_o all_o member_n of_o parliament_n offer_a by_o sa._n oxon._n when_o the_o cardinal_n in_o rome_n go_v abroad_o without_o fiocco_n on_o their_o horse_n head_n it_o be_v unstood_v that_o they_o will_v be_v then_o incognito_o and_o they_o expect_v nothing_o of_o that_o respect_n which_o be_v pay_v they_o on_o other_o occasion_n so_o since_o there_o be_v no_o fiocco_n at_o the_o head_n of_o this_o discourse_n no_o name_n nor_o designation_n it_o seem_v the_o writer_n offer_v himself_o to_o be_v examine_v without_o those_o nice_a regard_n that_o may_v be_v due_a to_o the_o dignity_n he_o bear_v and_o indeed_o when_o a_o man_n forget_v what_o he_o be_v himself_o it_o be_v very_o natural_a for_o other_o to_o do_v it_o likewise_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n to_o see_v those_o of_o the_o roman_a communion_n be_v stir_v themselves_o so_o much_o as_o they_o do_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o test_n and_o every_o

with_o our_o constitution_n to_o this_o design_n yet_o it_o be_v so_o natural_a to_o all_o that_o be_v under_o any_o pressure_n to_o desire_v to_o get_v free_a from_o it_o that_o at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o we_o can_v forbear_v to_o withstand_v they_o we_o can_v much_o condemn_v they_o but_o it_o raise_v nature_n a_o little_a to_o see_v a_o man_n that_o have_v be_v so_o long_o fatten_v with_o the_o spoil_n of_o our_o church_n and_o who_o have_v now_o get_v up_o to_o a_o degree_n so_o disproportion_v to_o his_o merit_n to_o turn_v so_o treacherous_o upon_o it_o if_o he_o be_v
