that_o any_o one_o of_o these_o three_o thing_n come_v under_o any_o law_n therefore_o whether_o they_o do_v or_o not_o i_o need_v not_o inquire_v but_o demonstrate_v that_o every_o one_o of_o these_o

groundless_a fear_n that_o ruin_n hang_v over_o the_o people_n head_n and_o his_o majesty_n will_v not_o see_v it_o that_o he_o be_v whole_o regardless_o of_o his_o people_n welfare_n and_o safety_n whereas_o the_o people_n can_v be_v either_o injure_v or_o ruin_v but_o the_o king_n must_v be_v so_o too_o if_o this_o undoubted_a truth_n be_v well_o consider_v it_o will_v be_v enough_o to_o

with_o their_o good_a word_n do_v none_o reverence_n parliament_n but_o fanatic_n if_o reverence_n be_v best_a see_v by_o obedience_n to_o act_n of_o parliament_n i_o be_o certain_a there_o be_v

a_o bill_n of_o exclusion_n according_a to_o their_o own_o tenant_n can_v be_v a_o expedient_a for_o the_o kingdom_n safety_n for_o how_o can_v they_o who_o bare_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o

no_o law_n say_v they_o can_v bind_v a_o popish_a successor_n that_o say_v the_o character_n of_o a_o popish_a successor_n be_v hedge_v in_o the_o cuckoo_n well_o then_o a_o bill_n of_o exclusion_n will_v come_v in_o competition_n with_o the_o good_a of_o his_o church_n or_o not_o if_o not_o than_o his_o royal_a highness_n be_v upon_o the_o throne_n will_v be_v no_o advantage_n to_o his_o church_n then_o where_o be_v the_o fear_n of_o popery_n if_o it_o will_v according_a to_o themselves_o his_o royal_a highness_n will_v not_o deem_v such_o a_o law_n obligatory_a and_o then_o they_o can_v believe_v the_o peace_n and_o quiet_a of_o the_o nation_n will_v be_v the_o consequence_n of_o such_o a_o bill_n but_o rather_o war_n and_o confusion_n and_o it_o be_v that_o they_o will_v

these_o three_o thing_n

first_o whether_o fanatic_n desire_v his_o majesty_n life_n more_o hearty_o than_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o more_o loyal_a subject_n or_o indeed_o more_o than_o his_o majesty_n himself_o 2_o whether_o they_o be_v the_o chief_a person_n aim_v at_o by_o the_o romanist_n when_o their_o plot_n be_v lay_v against_o the_o protestant_a religion_n 3_o whether_o they_o be_v the_o only_a person_n who_o will_v protect_v and_o preserve_v the_o present_a government_n first_o that_o fanatic_n desire_v his_o majesty_n life_n more_o than_o he_o do_v himself_o be_v wonderful_o credible_a or_o that_o they_o value_v it_o more_o than_o the_o loyal_a party_n be_v almost_o as_o credible_a for_o the_o question_n be_v no_o more_o than_o this_o whether_o those_o who_o have_v martyr_a the_o late_a king_n and_o use_v their_o utmost_a endeavour_n to_o martyr_v this_o be_v more_o zealous_a for_o the_o preservation_n of_o his_o majesty_n life_n than_o those_o who_o to_o their_o utmost_a have_v assist_v his_o late_a majesty_n and_o this_o present_a king_n in_o all_o time_n of_o dreadful_a trial_n and_o adversity_n the_o decision_n of_o this_o question_n i_o leave_v to_o any_o just_a man_n and_o if_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o it_o be_v in_o reason_n to_o be_v suppose_v that_o the_o king_n be_v as_o willing_a to_o preserve_v his_o own_o life_n as_o the_o fanatic_n be_v to_o preserve_v it_o if_o it_o be_v in_o reason_n to_o be_v suppose_v that_o those_o who_o have_v venture_v upon_o all_o occasion_n their_o own_o life_n and_o fortune_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o king_n covet_v preservation_n of_o his_o majesty_n life_n as_o much_o as_o those_o who_o have_v hazard_v their_o life_n and_o fortune_n to_o deprive_v his_o majesty_n of_o his_o life_n and_o government_n than_o it_o as_o reasonable_o follow_v that_o their_o over_o fear_n and_o care_n of_o his_o majesty_n life_n which_o exceed_v great_o in_o appearance_n both_o the_o king_n and_o his_o loyal_a subject_n be_v but_o pretence_n and_o sham._n two_o whether_o fanatic_n be_v the_o chief_a person_n aim_v at_o by_o the_o romanist_n when_o their_o plot_n be_v lay_v against_o the_o protestant_a religion_n one_o will_v believe_v by_o these_o man_n over-bustling_a and_o noise_n that_o they_o be_v the_o only_a defender_n of_o the_o protestant_a faith_n that_o it_o be_v only_o the_o ruin_n of_o they_o the_o papist_n level_v at_o as_o a_o certain_a mean_n to_o eradicate_v the_o protestant_a religion_n whereas_o rome_n well_o know_v these_o man_n be_v a_o goad_n in_o our_o church_n side_n and_o therefore_o its_o

of_o some_o popish-priest_n in_o queen_n elizabeth_n time_n the_o first_o be_v one_o faithful_a commin_n a_o friar_n of_o the_o order_n of_o st_n dominick_n he_o make_v the_o first_o breach_n in_o

of_o this_o many_o can_v witness_v and_o dr._n oates_n have_v depose_v nay_o when_o we_o press_v fanatic_n with_o their_o action_n of_o 41._o they_o tell_v we_o for_o excuse_n they_o be_v delude_v by_o the_o papist_n from_o which_o it_o full_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v against_o the_o church_n of_o england_n all_o their_o plot_n and_o conspiracy_n be_v plant_v so_o far_o from_o be_v aim_v

premise_n i_o shall_v draw_v not_o unnatural_o two_o conclusion_n first_o that_o those_o declamatory_n revile_n the_o fanatic_n throw_v upon_o the_o member_n of_o our_o church_n as_o be_v popish_o affect_v be_v but_o barefaced_a lie_n and_o calumny_n for_o it_o be_v incredible_a the_o papist_n will_v vent_v all_o their_o malice_n agaisnt_v their_o friend_n and_o do_v what_o in_o they_o lie_v to_o cherish_v and_o increase_v their_o only_a enemy_n as_o the_o nonconformist_n will_v have_v the_o world_n believe_v they_o be_v be_v it_o not_o the_o protestant_a religion_n papist_n will_v extirpate_v and_o can_v that_o be_v suppose_v a_o way_n which_o increase_v the_o preserver_n thereof_o whatever_o these_o dissenter_n pretend_v they_o can_v but_o know_v that_o this_o be_v too_o too_o absurd_a they_o can_v but_o know_v the_o papist_n believe_v they_o the_o scandal_n and_o affliction_n to_o the_o true_a professor_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n that_o they_o deserve_v not_o the_o name_n of_o protestant_n for_o by_o protestant_a be_v mean_v one_o who_o protest_v against_o the_o error_n only_o not_o the_o truth_n too_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n if_o other_o wise_a a_o turk_n may_v be_v call_v a_o protestant_n be_v it_o not_o they_o the_o papist_n upbraid_v we_o with_o in_o all_o our_o disputation_n be_v it_o not_o among_o they_o they_o shroud_v in_o all_o their_o hellish_a practice_n nor_o have_v the_o papist_n have_v any_o thing_n to_o say_v or_o do_v against_o the_o protestant_a religion_n have_v it_o not_o be_v for_o the_o unhappy_a assistance_n give_v they_o by_o these_o foolish_a and_o wicked_a dissenter_n a_o second_o conclusion_n be_v that_o whatsoever_o reasonable_a fear_n there_o be_v of_o execution_n of_o a_o popish_a plot_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v lodge_v in_o the_o breast_n of_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n they_o be_v only_o the_o mark_n and_o butt_n of_o all_o the_o malicious_a stratagem_n of_o the_o

out_o of_o their_o sense_n the_o only_a man_n who_o roar_v out_o murder_n as_o if_o the_o knife_n be_v already_o at_o their_o throat_n and_o that_o though_o the_o plot_n be_v defeat_v it_o nothing_o at_o all_o abate_v their_o unreasonable_a noise_n what_o can_v a_o man_n conclude_v but_o that_o this_o excessive_a feat_n &_o zeal_n they_o pretend_v be_v only_o to_o heighten_v jealousy_n among_o his_o majesty_n subject_n beyond_o all_o prudence_n and_o reason_n it_o nonconformist_n be_v in_o earnest_n why_o do_v they_o not_o run_v into_o the_o arm_n of_o our_o church_n which_o have_v be_v always_o open_a and_o ready_a to_o embrace_v they_o for_o that_o be_v the_o only_a mean_n to_o make_v protestant_a strength_n more_o formidable_a by_o this_o mean_n we_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o
