of_o all_o honest_a man_n within_o this_o nation_n and_o true_o as_o the_o great_a part_n of_o you_o hitherto_o have_v behave_v yourselves_o like_a state-sophister_n than_o sound_a well-meaning_n divine_n who_o main_a design_n be_v god_n glory_n the_o prefervation_n of_o his_o church_n and_o people_n good_a so_o now_o do_v you_o discover_v yourselves_o scismatic_o and_o incendiary_n who_o will_v divide_v the_o kingdom_n against_o itself_o set_v the_o nation_n on_o fire_n and_o sacrifice_v both_o church_n and_o state_n to_o your_o seduce_a appetite_n and_o self-interest_n be_v not_o you_o they_o who_o not_o only_o invite_v but_o importune_v the_o prince_n of_o orange_n yea_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o put_v it_o in_o his_o heart_n to_o hazard_v life_n and_o fortune_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o your_o religion_n life_n law_n liberty_n and_o estate_n etc._n etc._n and_o be_v you_o now_o become_v so_o ungrate_a monster_n of_o humanity_n as_o to_o requite_v yea_o baffle_v he_o by_o who_o god_n have_v wrought_v so_o great_a and_o miraculous_a deliverance_n thus_o and_o be_v it_o fit_v this_o populous_a nation_n shall_v be_v lead_v in_o matter_n of_o faith_n by_o such_o

the_o grant_n of_o your_o prayer_n a_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n can_v the_o religious_a orange_n down_o with_o you_o nor_o relish_v your_o squeamish_a and_o liquorish_a appetite_n and_o stomach_n now_o without_o a_o dram_n of_o the_o whore_n abominable_a cup_n laying_z aside_o conscience_n and_o religion_n with_o his_o royal_a descent_n bare_a common_a civility_n may_v prompt_v you_o to_o be_v
