there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o people_n who_o fain_o will_v that_o david_n shall_v always_o sing_v of_o mercy_n that_o as_o it_o may_v seem_v by_o excessive_a clemency_n our_o sovereign_n may_v

my_o hand_n to_o my_o brethren_n and_o to_o prove_v that_o no_o perfect_a papist_n can_v be_v sound_a &_o faithful_a subject_n to_o their_o christian_n prince_n and_o i_o say_v perfect_a papist_n because_o that_o every_o one_o that_o be_v blemish_v or_o hold_v any_o one_o error_n or_o article_n of_o doctrine_n that_o the_o pope_n hold_v as_o perhaps_o purgatory_n or_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a be_v in_o that_o article_n a_o papist_n yet_o i_o count_v not_o every_o one_o that_o thus_o be_v taint_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o false_a heartednes_n to_o the_o realm_n or_o under_o the_o

consequent_a reason_n must_v be_v understand_v of_o perfect_a papist_n who_o heart_n since_o they_o be_v italianate_a i_o thus_o frame_v my_o first_o reason_n to_o prove_v they_o rot_v heart_a subject_n the_o first_o reason_n prove_v perfect_a papist_n traitorous_a subject_n to_o christian_a prince_n all_o good_a subject_n which_o obey_v for_o conscience_n as_o every_o one_o ought_v to_o do_v must_v have_v their_o conscience_n enfome_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o perfect_a papist_n hate_v our_o assembly_n despise_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n which_o shall_v direct_v their_o conscience_n both_o in_o duty_n towards_o god_n and_o loyalty_n towards_o their_o prince_n and_o in_o stead_n thereof_o entertain_v a_o strange_a worship_n therefore_o perfect_a papist_n can_v be_v sound_a heart_a subject_n i_o have_v hear_v wise_a man_n say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o knot_n of_o thief_n so_o dangerous_a as_o when_o there_o be_v

love_n to_o their_o natural_a country_n can_v withdraw_v they_o from_o favour_a rebellion_n at_o home_n nor_o linck_n with_o stranger_n abroad_o that_o the_o duty_n of_o obedience_n of_o child_n to_o

can_v remove_v they_o from_o monstrous_a immanitie_n that_o the_o duty_n of_o kind_n and_o natural_a pity_n can_v stay_v a_o papist_n hand_n from_o murder_v feeble_a sex_n tender_a babe_n or_o

hold_v the_o pope_n excommunication_n against_o our_o dread_a sovereign_n the_o queen_n majesty_n to_o be_v lawful_a that_o they_o yield_v their_o obedience_n no_o long_o than_o durante_fw-la
