he_o prove_v that_o a_o christian_n may_v deny_v his_o faith_n because_o profession_n be_v but_o a_o outward_a ceremony_n it_o be_v no_o more_o in_o a_o clergyman_n and_o therefore_o as_o lawful_a

when_o they_o enjoy_v this_o his_o privilege_n so_o high_o as_o they_o do_v at_o the_o time_n of_o publish_v his_o book_n all_o the_o orthodox_n clergy_n be_v then_o treat_v with_o a_o more_o

can_v not_o have_v take_v a_o more_o unseasonable_a time_n to_o revile_v the_o clergy_n than_o he_o do_v for_o whilst_o they_o be_v in_o prosperity_n endow_v with_o good_a revenue_n and_o entrust_v with_o great_a power_n if_o he_o have_v fall_v upon_o they_o then_o envy_n may_v have_v be_v some_o ground_n for_o his_o malice_n but_o at_o that_o time_n when_o they_o be_v trample_v upon_o by_o
