king_n country_n church_n and_o government_n of_o these_o three_o nation_n which_o indeed_o there_o be_v many_o a_o soul_n that_o join_v with_o they_o in_o so_o do_v at_o least_o in_o their_o wish_n and_o thought_n they_o will_v willing_o assist_v and_o back_v they_o for_o they_o can_v do_v it_o without_o be_v see_v in_o it_o so_o that_o they_o be_v loath_a otherways_o to_o be_v concern_v but_o in_o their_o clandestine_v way_n they_o stir_v up_o other_o to_o blow_v the_o fire_n and_o they_o kindle_v it_o themselves_o which_o be_v a_o thing_n easy_o prove_v if_o it_o have_v be_v thorough_o and_o narrow_o examine_v but_o for_o my_o part_n i_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o press_v my_o evidence_n to_o that_o effect_n upon_o any_o man_n though_o that_o i_o may_v safe_o say_v and_o not_o only_o say_v but_o firm_o aver_v that_o i_o have_v perform_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o honest_a subject_n a_o zealous_a christian_a and_o a_o love_a countryman_n and_o have_v so_o do_v as_o be_v manifest_o see_v that_o i_o be_o ready_a to_o serve_v than_o people_n be_v to_o receive_v i_o which_o the_o old_a proverb_n be_v perform_v which_o be_v call_v propriate_a service_n be_v not_o accept_v but_o to_o hint_n a_o little_a more_o of_o my_o purpose_n to_o let_v you_o see_v as_o a_o confirmation_n to_o your_o own_o understanding_n how_o this_o contrive_a contradiction_n of_o the_o verity_n of_o a_o plot_n be_v contract_v by_o the_o above_o person_n and_o i_o do_v not_o question_v but_o they_o have_v many_o assistant_n in_o these_o their_o undertake_n of_o blemish_v and_o disgrace_v the_o king_n subject_n and_o law_n of_o these_o three_o nation_n as_o sure_o they_o will_v have_v be_v make_v privy_a to_o by_o the_o lurker_n and_o peeper_n officious_a and_o busy_a person_n that_o lurk_v and_o peep_v from_o forth_o their_o window_n listen_v and_o wait_v whether_o they_o can_v hear_v any_o such_o rumour_n or_o report_n as_o the_o contradict_a and_o discredit_v of_o the_o popish_a plot_n and_o upon_o the_o other_o hand_n expect_v likewise_o to_o cast_v it_o over_o upon_o the_o head_n of_o protestant_n in_o hope_n to_o clear_v themselves_o and_o lay_v the_o gild_n upon_o they_o these_o i_o say_v and_o such_o other_o report_n as_o will_v relish_v best_o their_o palate_n with_o such_o a_o savoury_a taste_n as_o to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o plot_n it_o be_v prove_v there_o be_v none_o the_o king_n and_o council_n be_v convince_v to_o the_o contrary_a of_o the_o be_v of_o any_o plot_n in_o agitation_n at_o all_o and_o that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o slam_n and_o captain_n elie_n sympson_n tonge_n and_o john_n crawley_n maintain_v it_o so_o to_o be_v and_o therefore_o he_o that_o say_v there_o be_v a_o plot_n in_o agitation_n shall_v not_o be_v the_o better_a thought_n of_o alas_o i_o say_v this_o be_v the_o long_o wish_a and_o languish_a desire_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o all_o member_n thereunto_o belong_v that_o they_o may_v hear_v such_o a_o general_a and_o unanimous_a contradiction_n of_o the_o plot_n and_o indeed_o reason_n will_v show_v we_o not_o to_o blame_v they_o in_o that_o respect_n for_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n that_o the_o people_n shall_v defend_v their_o great_a interest_n and_o keep_v it_o as_o pure_a and_o blameless_a as_o possible_a they_o can_v but_o i_o must_v say_v it_o be_v not_o for_o their_o care_n of_o so_o do_v if_o they_o have_v take_v it_o in_o a_o honest_a way_n we_o blame_v they_o but_o for_o their_o evil_a accustom_a practice_n for_o connive_v and_o contract_a massacre_n murder_n rebellion_n upon_o all_o whosoever_o that_o contradict_v their_o tenet_n government_n or_o law_n and_o after_o have_v so_o do_v by_o their_o fiery_a instrument_n of_o devilish_a exploit_n they_o do_v absolve_v they_o and_o dispense_v with_o such_o abominable_a wickedness_n as_o have_v be_v record_v of_o they_o in_o several_a age_n which_o will_v be_v tedious_a to_o instance_n they_o or_o some_o of_o they_o in_o this_o and_o such_o like_a little_a piece_n of_o paper_n by_o reason_n that_o the_o matter_n do_v require_v to_o be_v more_o spacious_o handle_v than_o i_o can_v well_o at_o present_a bestow_v time_n upon_o but_o i_o say_v we_o can_v expect_v no_o less_o of_o any_o people_n which_o be_v so_o manifest_o prove_v to_o be_v guilty_a and_o criminal_a but_o that_o they_o will_v with_o all_o their_o endeavour_n hide_v their_o guilt_n and_o crime_n and_o employ_v their_o best_a wit_n how_o to_o recall_v the_o reputation_n by_o fame_a honesty_n and_o innocence_n which_o we_o see_v daily_o that_o they_o that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o roman_a catholic_n do_v practice_n and_o use_v all_o mean_n whatsoever_o to_o get_v themselves_o into_o a_o renew_a favour_n and_o procure_v they_o the_o title_n of_o harmless_a people_n but_o i_o judge_v that_o what_o they_o can_v do_v to_o that_o purpose_n can_v yield_v they_o such_o reputation_n as_o they_o have_v lose_v by_o their_o several_a sundry_a and_o manifold_a connivance_n and_o contrivance_n for_o they_o be_v by_o several_a author_n record_v in_o old_a age_n remarkable_o to_o be_v a_o people_n that_o continual_o harbour_v a_o antipathy_n against_o protestant_n which_o i_o will_v let_v you_o see_v by_o several_a instance_n but_o as_o i_o have_v excuse_v myself_o in_o the_o forego_n line_n that_o i_o must_v wait_v till_o another_o opportunity_n and_o expect_v upon_o such_o consideration_n which_o i_o shall_v thus_o reason_v unto_o you_o hereafter_o and_o shall_v in_o the_o interim_n recommend_v you_o to_o your_o own_o read_n in_o several_a

curious_a in_o keep_v for_o the_o revive_n of_o their_o memory_n such_o book_n as_o may_v confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o i_o do_v tax_v popery_n to_o be_v guilty_a of_o in_o many_o age_n reign_n and_o government_n though_o that_o the_o roman_a catholic_n do_v unjust_o assert_v that_o the_o very_o first_o offspring_n of_o protestant_n proceed_v from_o luther_n and_o calvin_n in_o king_n henry_n the_o eighth_n time_n about_o one_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o year_n ago_o whereupon_o papist_n may_v take_v occasion_n to_o contradict_v i_o in_o claim_v a_o interest_n in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o their_o error_n in_o many_o age_n for_o they_o be_v a_o people_n that_o be_v apt_a to_o purchase_v all_o demur_n whatsoever_o that_o they_o can_v light_v of_o quote_v in_o any_o write_n against_o they_o for_o i_o know_v they_o say_v that_o protestant_n be_v but_o new_a upstart_n apostate_n and_o that_o they_o can_v claim_v no_o right_n in_o the_o primitive_a record_n much_o less_o they_o say_v in_o the_o apostolical_a church-government_n and_o the_o reason_n they_o produce_v for_o that_o false_a assertion_n of_o they_o be_v this_o that_o the_o primitive_a record_n and_o the_o apostolical_a church-government_n be_v establish_v for_o many_o hundred_o of_o year_n before_o the_o name_n or_o government_n of_o protestant_n be_v invent_v or_o publish_v yet_o we_o find_v we_o believe_v great_a many_o steadfast_a and_o well-grounded_n author_n that_o protestant_n be_v for_o some_o hundred_o of_o year_n before_o that_o time_n that_o they_o take_v to_o be_v first_o dissent_v of_o protestant_n from_o the_o roman_n catholic_n church_n which_o i_o shall_v undertake_v to_o maintain_v to_o the_o contrary_a on_o some_o other_o occasion_n and_o well_o understanding_n that_o you_o may_v be_v as_o acquaint_v with_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o as_o i_o be_o i_o take_v it_o as_o one_o of_o the_o reason_n or_o consideration_n as_o above_o mention_v for_o not_o further_o satisfy_v you_o with_o preambled_a instance_n at_o present_a the_o next_o reason_n i_o have_v as_o to_o that_o matter_n of_o my_o silence_n in_o let_v you_o see_v more_o of_o the_o transaction_n of_o the_o popish_a party_n
