A90770	A Plea for succession in opposition to popular exclusion wherein it is evidenced, that an association, or any other such method, is a more immediate way to arbitrary power and a more certain road to popery than a standing up to the right of succession can in any reason be supposed to be : with some remarques on Coleman and his letters.		1682 (1682)	Wing P2516; ESTC R225594	23,646	20

therefore_o he_o will_v not_o resist_v he_o and_o to_o love_v his_o religion_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n he_o will_v not_o help_v to_o destroy_v it_o he_o have_v be_v teach_v in_o the_o same_o act_n

that_o we_o conceive_v we_o can_v defend_v our_o king_n but_o we_o must_v enable_v he_o to_o enslave_v ourselves_o and_o enemy_n together_o yet_o however_o we_o must_v do_v our_o duty_n and_o leave_v the_o event_n to_o god_n for_o we_o be_v not_o to_o sin_v ourselves_o that_o thereby_o we_o may_v prevent_v other_o from_o do_v so_o you_o cry_v popery_n be_v come_v and_o therefore_o rebel_n now_o we_o do_v not_o see_v the_o popery_n but_o we_o see_v the_o rebellion_n we_o can_v tell_v whether_o that_o will_v ever_o come_v but_o we_o see_v the_o other_o be_v come_v already_o now_o we_o be_v to_o take_v the_o safe_a side_n but_o if_o we_o join_v with_o you_o we_o may_v be_v gull_v into_o a_o needless_a war_n as_o many_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o late_a king_n whereas_o by_o a_o

the_o victory_n fall_v for_o if_o you_o be_v overcome_v we_o perish_v with_o you_o as_o malefactor_n but_o if_o you_o do_v overcome_v we_o be_v ruin_v by_o you_o and_o if_o we_o sit_v still_o you_o

whilst_o they_o be_v all_o endeavour_v to_o promote_v every_o man_n his_o way_n and_o party_n above_o the_o rest_n they_o do_v hinder_v and_o pull_v back_o one_o another_o till_o they_o all_o fall_v

be_v keep_v clear_a and_o firm_a to_o their_o principle_n and_o lie_v in_o no_o danger_n of_o receive_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o their_o church_n but_o dissenter_n be_v keep_v to_o no_o rule_n run_v into_o all_o extravagancy_n and_o receive_v any_o wild_a conception_n that_o be_v suggest_v to_o they_o therefore_o while_o dissenter_n be_v multiply_a opinion_n change_v

and_o therefore_o receive_v it_o so_o joyful_o that_o wild_n return_v a_o ballad_n of_o thanks_o and_o his_o wise_n be_v so_o transport_v she_o leave_v her_o gridiron_n and_o run_v with_o a_o

suppose_v such_o liberty_n exclude_v the_o papist_n yet_o it_o matter_n not_o much_o for_o these_o creep_v into_o every_o party_n and_o under_o disguise_n of_o mechanic_n and_o gift_a man_n will_v
