that_o be_v a_o long_a time_n after_o yet_o they_o still_o flatter_v themselves_o some_o other_o person_n of_o their_o persuasion_n will_v inherit_v her_o crown_n and_o put_v a_o end_n to_o their_o

be_v it_o that_o make_v it_o so_o difficult_a to_o extirpate_v those_o faction_n that_o be_v build_v upon_o that_o pretence_n the_o second_o thing_n that_o tend_v to_o uphold_v popery_n in_o england_n be_v the_o policy_n of_o philip_n the_o second_o king_n of_o spain_n who_o to_o revenge_v the_o assistance_n the_o queen_n lend_v his_o subject_n in_o flanders_n then_o in_o a_o war_n with_o he_o

they_o breed_v they_o up_o in_o a_o invincible_a hatred_n of_o the_o religion_n by_o law_n establish_v and_o other_o they_o send_v over_o with_o order_n to_o preach_v up_o popery_n as_o much_o as_o they_o dare_v and_o have_v it_o not_o be_v for_o this_o there_o have_v be_v very_o few_o papist_n leave_v at_o that_o queen_n death_n who_o reign_v 44_o year_n though_o king_n james_n be_v infinite_o

neither_o be_v they_o careful_o execute_v in_o his_o or_o his_o son_n time_n yet_o this_o faction_n sensible_o decrease_v and_o a_o great_a part_n of_o those_o that_o remain_v be_v ruin_v by_o the_o war_n and_o the_o late_a plot_n in_o this_o king_n time_n have_v prove_v very_o effectual_a to_o bring_v off_o many_o more_o from_o that_o opinion_n so_o that_o by_o one_o mean_n or_o other_o it_o be_v become_v one_o of_o the_o most_o despicable_a faction_n in_o this_o nation_n and_o if_o the_o blow_n have_v be_v well_o follow_v may_v perhaps_o have_v be_v entire_o ruin_v have_v queen_n elizabeth_n method_n be_v well_o pursue_v by_o all_o her_o successor_n they_o must_v in_o likelihood_n have_v be_v extinguish_v but_o there_o be_v a_o odd_a sort_n of_o policy_n take_v up_o which_o be_v to_o slacken_v the_o execution_n of_o the_o law_n against_o they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v a_o counterbalance_n to_o the_o puritan_n faction_n which_o produce_v two_o great_a evil_n first_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o lend_v we_o any_o assistance_n against_o the_o dissenter_n that_o their_o priest_n increase_v the_o number_n of_o they_o by_o preach_v up_o their_o opinion_n and_o add_v to_o they_o as_o appear_v by_o a_o small_a pamphlet_n call_v fox_n and_o firebrand_n which_o prove_v they_o be_v the_o father_n of_o extemporary_a prayer_n in_o public_a assembly_n and_o by_o several_a other_o such_o stratagem_n which_o they_o employ_v against_o we_o second_o these_o dissenter_n make_v it_o their_o great_a business_n to_o inculcate_v into_o the_o head_n of_o the_o rabble_n a_o opinion_n that_o all_o the_o lenity_n that_o be_v use_v towards_o the_o papist_n proceed_v from_o a_o love_n to_o popery_n which_o both_o make_v more_o puritan_n than_o there_o will_v otherwise_o have_v be_v and_o make_v they_o better_a thought_n of_o by_o the_o rabble_n so_o that_o instead_o of_o diminish_v or_o weaken_v that_o faction_n it_o increase_v it_o and_o add_v reputation_n to_o it_o and_o the_o papist_n make_v the_o same_o use_n of_o it_o and_o draw_v over_o some_o weak_a and_o unsteady_a soul_n to_o join_v with_o they_o so_o that_o our_o enemy_n increase_v on_o both_o side_n but_o especial_o the_o dissenter_n and_o this_o be_v all_o we_o ever_o do_v or_o can_v get_v by_o that_o extravagant_a piece_n of_o policy_n beside_o all_o this_o the_o people_n will_v ever_o entertain_v jealous_a thought_n and_o be_v discontent_v at_o all_o those_o that_o ever_o so_o little_a favour_n the_o papist_n and_o so_o long_o as_o there_o be_v any_o number_n of_o they_o among_o we_o beside_o all_o the_o disquiet_n they_o give_v we_o the_o factious_a dissenter_n will_v take_v hold_n of_o that_o pretence_n to_o do_v we_o a_o mischief_n as_o time_n and_o opportunity_n serve_v so_o i_o conclude_v it_o be_v the_o interest_n and_o duty_n of_o all_o magistrate_n to_o put_v the_o law_n against_o they_o constant_o and_o vigorous_o in_o execution_n and_o especial_o those_o against_o send_v their_o child_n beyond_o sea_n to_o be_v breed_v in_o the_o seminary_n and_o jesuit_n college_n where_o they_o learn_v more_o malice_n and_o more_o skill_n than_o they_o can_v do_v in_o england_n and_o because_o this_o be_v a_o work_n of_o time_n it_o be_v their_o duty_n in_o the_o interim_n to_o show_v the_o people_n two_o thing_n first_o that_o
these_o relic_n of_o popery_n be_v not_o in_o any_o capacity_n of_o do_v we_o any_o great_a mischief_n if_o we_o do_v not_o contribute_v to_o it_o by_o our_o own_o folly_n they_o be_v few_o in_o number_n and_o general_o hate_v second_o that_o the_o dissenter_n be_v never_o a_o whit_n better_o than_o the_o papist_n in_o many_o of_o their_o opinion_n or_o practice_n especial_o those_o that_o relate_v to_o government_n and_o that_o though_o they_o have_v ever_o declaim_v most_o furious_o against_o popery_n yet_o they_o have_v always_o maintain_v underhand_o a_o correspondence_n with_o they_o and_o they_o have_v mutual_o help_v one_o another_o to_o destroy_v we_o and_o even_o when_o the_o dissenter_n know_v it_o not_o have_v they_o be_v influence_v by_o popish_a emissary_n in_o disguise_n who_o inflame_v their_o fiery_a spirit_n during_o our_o late_a rebellion_n and_o drive_v they_o to_o that_o height_n of_o fury_n that_o they_o murder_v their_o prince_n and_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o of_o their_o fellow_n subject_n with_o unheard_a of_o barbarity_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n little_o think_v who_o agent_n they_o be_v and_o now_o the_o secret_a be_v discover_v they_o pursue_v the_o same_o design_n and_o lay_v all_o that_o be_v pass_v to_o these_o papist_n though_o not_o one_o of_o a_o thousand_o be_v so_o as_o all_o the_o world_n know_v it_o be_v more_o ingenuous_a to_o confess_v their_o error_n and_o forsake_v all_o those_o course_n and_o principle_n which_o give_v the_o jesuit_n opportunity_n and_o encouragement_n to_o push_v they_o on_o to_o such_o lewd_a and_o wicked_a practice_n before_o i_o be_v aware_a of_o it_o faction_n the_o puritan_n faction_n i_o be_o fall_v upon_o the_o second_o faction_n which_o be_v the_o puritan_n this_o be_v at_o first_o all_o of_o a_o piece_n and_o all_o pure_a presbyterian_o but_o in_o the_o reign_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n begin_v to_o subdivide_v and_o in_o the_o late_a rebellion_n they_o crumble_v
