cry_v down_o and_o they_o can_v but_o know_v that_o coleman_n and_o the_o rest_n have_v a_o fair_a trial_n that_o the_o proof_n be_v home_o and_o evident_a against_o they_o and_o that_o they_o

be_v establish_v yet_o at_o last_o it_o will_v quick_o burst_v out_o into_o a_o flame_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a with_o the_o great_a tyranny_n to_o establish_v the_o great_a truth_n unless_o it_o be_v receive_v into_o the_o mind_n and_o conscience_n of_o the_o people_n i_o must_v therefore_o once_o again_o acknowledge_v the_o great_a satisfaction_n i_o have_v receive_v by_o those_o book_n

satisfy_v in_o the_o punishment_n of_o some_o of_o the_o offender_n be_v assure_v that_o they_o die_v not_o for_o the_o cause_n of_o religion_n as_o they_o will_v here_o make_v we_o believe_v but_o as_o criminal_n and_o traitor_n to_o their_o king_n country_n and_o law_n i_o must_v confess_v there_o have_v nothing_o more_o trouble_v my_o conscience_n and_o make_v i_o question_v the_o verity_n of_o the_o romish_a faith_n in_o which_o i_o be_v breed_v than_o the_o lay_v open_a of_o these_o horrid_a design_n and_o the_o constant_a practice_n of_o these_o brother_n of_o jesus_n in_o all_o

notice_n of_o that_o cruel_a and_o detestable_a malice_n of_o the_o brother_n of_o the_o society_n who_o will_v have_v cut_v off_o berry_n a_o priest_n for_o write_v in_o favour_n of_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o supremacy_n which_o i_o think_v any_o true_a catholic_n may_v take_v without_o any_o wrong_n to_o his_o conscience_n and_o for_o that_o end_n as_o i_o find_v in_o your_o

which_o have_v appear_v so_o horrid_o unjust_a cruel_a and_o bloody_a in_o all_o respect_n they_o be_v grow_v severe_a and_o bitter_a against_o all_o romish_a catholic_n and_o many_o thousand_o though_o innocent_a must_v suffer_v in_o your_o thought_n and_o opinion_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o these_o wicked_a wretch_n and_o the_o plot_n have_v now_o appear_v so_o general_a and_o universal_a through_o the_o nation_n and_o not_o only_o there_o but_o in_o france_n flanders_n spain_n and_o italy_n that_o i_o can_v but_o wonder_v at_o the_o extent_n thereof_o and_o admire_v at_o the_o great_a

many_o on_o this_o side_n the_o water_n that_o there_o be_v a_o more_o than_o usual_a expectation_n of_o something_o to_o be_v do_v in_o england_n and_o sometime_o they_o will_v dark_o intimate_v

be_v resent_v here_o among_o we_o and_o what_o people_n say_v thereof_o i_o must_v answer_v that_o the_o stream_n seem_v to_o run_v two_o way_n and_o be_v divide_v according_a to_o the_o humour_n of_o the_o people_n for_o the_o more_o moderate_a and_o just_a do_v extreme_o blame_v the_o author_n and_o promoter_n of_o it_o and_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o the_o ruiner_n of_o the_o catholic_n
