the_o phrase_n be_v rom._n 14._o as_o to_o which_o the_o church_n itself_o can_v give_v no_o other_o satisfaction_n than_o its_o probable_a conjecture_n will_v afford_v to_o which_o a_o reverence_n

to_o expect_v equal_a countenance_n and_o encouragement_n from_o the_o law_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o nation_n ex._n gr_n for_o papist_n to_o expect_v that_o where_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n be_v in_o favour_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n they_o shall_v be_v as_o much_o in_o favour_n of_o the_o roman_a catholic_n as_o they_o nonsensical_o call_v it_o and_o therefore_o that_o religion_n which_o be_v fundamental_o opposite_a to_o what_o the_o law_n of_o a_o nation_n have_v establish_v ought_v not_o at_o least_o by_o violence_n to_o struggle_v for_o pre-eminence_n nor_o yet_o for_o parity_n as_o we_o see_v the_o protestant_n in_o france_n do_v neither_o expect_v nor_o attempt_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o to_o equalise_v much_o less_o to_o overtop_v the_o papist_n who_o there_o have_v the_o law_n on_o their_o side_n and_o why_o shall_v papist_n attempt_v any_o such_o thing_n here_o against_o those_o protestant_n who_o in_o england_n have_v the_o law_n on_o their_o side_n every_o whit_n as_o much_o this_o principle_n receive_v will_v lay_v one_o great_a struggle_v about_o matter_n of_o religion_n the_o other_o and_o only_a principle_n we_o have_v finish_v beside_o this_o be_v that_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o own_a and_o avow_a religion_n some_o certain_a latitude_n ought_v to_o be_v admit_v that_o all_o the_o sober_a and_o

to_o call_v they_o proposal_n which_o i_o will_v lay_v down_o because_o i_o have_v stay_v so_o long_o upon_o the_o two_o first_o three_o whereas_o every_o religion_n must_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v
