to_o roman_a catholic_n it_o have_v be_v always_o say_v that_o they_o suffer_v not_o for_o religion_n but_o treason_n and_o this_o be_v a_o very_a plain_a and_o satisfactory_a answer_n while_o those_o

to_o avoid_v the_o odium_n of_o this_o some_o of_o that_o communion_n in_o our_o age_n will_v persuade_v we_o that_o their_o suffering_n be_v not_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o religion_n and_o to_o

some_o late_a writer_n will_v bear_v we_o down_o that_o they_o be_v and_o have_v be_v always_o faithful_a to_o the_o monarchy_n it_o be_v better_o say_v by_o other_o of_o that_o church_n than_o by_o
