these_o colour_n be_v the_o papist_n represent_v from_o the_o pulpit_n by_o these_o preacher_n in_o the_o year_n 1681._o when_v the_o time_n be_v not_o of_o confute_v they_o by_o gospel_n and_o reason_n but_o by_o barbarous_o knock_v they_o in_o the_o head_n like_o beast_n but_o all_o these_o colour_n be_v either_o false_a or_o deceitful_a as_o may_v be_v easy_o show_v at_o large_a but_o i_o be_o quite_o tire_v as_o i_o fear_v the_o reader_n be_v too_o by_o stay_v so_o long_o in_o this_o nauscous_a stuff_n i_o will_v therefore_o pass_v they_o over_o as_o such_o calumny_n deserve_v with_o as_o short_a a_o reflection_n as_o may_v be_v but_o yet_o in_o order_n and_o therefore_o as_o to_o the_o first_o it_o be_v absolute_o false_a for_o falsehood_n and_o deceit_n be_v not_o where_o recommend_v or_o teach_v by_o his_o church_n and_o be_v so_o far_o from_o sit_v man_n for_o heaven_n that_o i_o be_o certain_a no_o man_n of_o what_o church_n soever_o guilty_a of_o those_o wicked_a quality_n can_v possible_o have_v admittance_n there_o till_o they_o have_v first_o discharge_v their_o conscience_n by_o a_o sincere_a repentance_n and_o make_v restitution_n to_o the_o party_n injure_v to_o the_o best_a of_o their_o power_n this_o be_v the_o receive_v doctrine_n of_o his_o church_n and_o i_o hope_v in_o their_o deal_v they_o practise_v it_o as_o much_o as_o any_o i_o do_v question_n but_o there_o be_v still_o knave_n of_o his_o communion_n but_o then_o let_v that_o teacher_n who_o have_v no_o such_o of_o his_o coat_n or_o in_o his_o church_n come_v and_o sling_v the_o first_o stone_n the_o second_o be_v false_a too_o since_o it_o be_v know_v that_o there_o be_v great_a number_n of_o papist_n who_o be_v never_o so_o by_o education_n and_o be_v it_o not_o a_o abominable_a and_o wicked_a slander_n to_o accuse_v all_o such_o of_o atheism_n and_o that_o have_v it_o not_o be_v for_o their_o blind_a themselves_o by_o this_o they_o have_v never_o become_v papist_n since_o such_o as_o have_v make_v the_o observation_n find_v that_o those_o who_o be_v of_o a_o good_a life_n when_o protestant_n continue_v to_o be_v so_o when_o papist_n and_o that_o many_o who_o live_v like_o atheist_n when_o protestant_n become_v better_a christian_n by_o be_v papist_n the_o three_o be_v likewise_o false_a since_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n do_v not_o allow_v the_o picture_v the_o divinity_n itself_o as_o the_o preacher_n say_v but_o take_v particular_a care_n if_o it_o happen_v say_v the_o council_n that_o the_o history_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v

represent_v in_o colour_n sess_n 25._o which_o be_v just_a contrary_n to_o what_o the_o preacher_n deliver_v and_o therefore_o though_o sometime_o in_o our_o church_n there_o may_v be_v see_v figure_n to_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n yet_o the_o like_a may_v be_v see_v too_o in_o the_o frontispiece_n of_o some_o bibles_n and_o common-prayer-book_n of_o the_o church_n of_o

pray_v to_o image_n be_v false_a too_o for_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o pray_v to_o none_o but_o god_n alone_o and_o to_o desire_v the_o intercession_n or_o prayer_n of_o such_o holy_a person_n as_o be_v

pray_v to_o a_o image_n as_o to_o offer_v a_o petition_n to_o the_o statue_n of_o the_o king._n the_o apologizer_n have_v find_v a_o odd_a notion_n pag._n 32._o of_o leave_v prayer_n with_o a_o

the_o many_o wrong_n they_o have_v do_v we_o if_o repent_v be_v not_o beneath_o their_o station_n the_o five_o be_v false_a since_o we_o worship_v only_a god_n himself_o and_o not_o the_o bread_n

because_o a_o papist_n have_v not_o the_o same_o opinion_n of_o these_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v and_o this_o make_v it_o a_o false_a character_n answ_n to_o pap._n prot._n pag._n 17._o let_v the_o

injurious_a to_o their_o neighbour_n this_o be_v a_o lecture_n all_o christian_n have_v a_o right_a to_o preach_v and_o therefore_o with_o this_o sermon_n of_o advice_n i_o make_v up_o to_o our_o preacher_n who_o be_v so_o forward_o in_o make_v character_n of_o the_o papist_n i_o tell_v they_o that_o though_o they_o may_v have_v but_o little_a affection_n for_o the_o papist_n yet_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v careful_a not_o to_o be_v unjust_a to_o they_o not_o to_o wrong_v they_o in_o their_o reputation_n not_o to_o defame_v they_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o every_o idle_a story_n not_o to_o promote_v calumny_n preach_v out_o of_o narrative_n nor_o to_o set_v up_o every_o misconstruction_n of_o their_o own_o fancy_n every_o opinion_n of_o author_n every_o extravagancy_n of_o her_o member_n for_o the_o profess_v religion_n of_o the_o papist_n this_o and_o much_o more_o of_o this_o kind_n i_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o and_o though_o it_o be_v so_o true_o christian_a advice_n yet_o i_o find_v they_o take_v it_o unkind_o they_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o be_v think_v man_n of_o such_o principle_n as_o to_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o this_o advice_n now_o for_o my_o part_n i_o never_o pretend_v that_o they_o be_v of_o such_o principle_n as_o to_o proceed_v in_o this_o manner_n and_o be_v so_o unjust_a to_o the_o papist_n design_o but_o alas_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o mischief_n do_v in_o the_o world_n which_o be_v never_o do_v by_o design_n there_o be_v some_o little_a accident_n to_o which_o frail_a human_a nature_n be_v very_a subject_n call_v passion_n prejudice_n prepossession_n disaffection_n etc._n etc._n these_o be_v very_a insinuate_a thing_n and_o of_o a_o treacherous_a nature_n which_o put_v man_n upon_o the_o worst_a of_o engagement_n and_o do_v the_o great_a mischief_n in_o the_o world_n without_o any_o open_a design_n of_o do_v any_o and_o therefore_o since_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n to_o i_o be_v certain_a the_o mischief_n and_o injustice_n do_v and_o we_o here_o suppose_v without_o design_n i_o must_v desire_v the_o preacher_n to_o reflect_v whether_o none_o of_o these_o mischievous_a accident_n at_o least_o ever_o go_v up_o with_o they_o into_o the_o pulpit_n whether_o passion_n and_o animosity_n never_o creep_v with_o they_o into_o those_o chair_n whether_o prejudice_n never_o influence_v their_o pen_n and_o tongue_n whether_o prepossession_n never_o biased_a their_o reason_n and_o judgement_n and_o likewise_o whether_o they_o never_o rack_v a_o text_n in_o compliance_n with_o the_o temper_n and_o humour_n of_o their_o flock_n the_o people_n we_o know_v can_v always_o bear_v the_o truth_n they_o sometime_o say_v with_o the_o jew_n isa_n 30._o 10._o prophesy_v not_o unto_o we_o right_a thing_n speak_v unto_o
