time_n protestant_a judge_n condemn_v their_o religion_n in_o their_o own_o court_n by_o just_a sentence_n whensoever_o they_o judge_v according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n interpret_v by_o the_o ancient_a and_o continual_a practice_n of_o the_o court_n and_o contrary_a to_o the_o fancy_n of_o ignorant_a and_o absurd_a pleader_n they_o give_v sentence_n against_o protestancy_n for_o the_o roman_n catholic_n religion_n though_o in_o a_o different_a subject_n whereby_o it_o be_v evident_a how_o little_o behold_v protestancy_n be_v to_o that_o policy_n which_o be_v not_o able_a to_o defend_v reform_v church_n in_o the_o very_a protestant_a court_n that_o religion_n be_v far_o from_o supernatural_a appearance_n which_o have_v not_o the_o least_o colour_n of_o natural_a equity_n but_o now_o let_v we_o see_v how_o little_o behold_v policy_n be_v to_o protestancy_n and_o prove_v chap._n vii_o that_o policy_n have_v destroy_v itself_o by_o court_v protestancy_n as_o be_v near_o ally_v to_o atheism_n the_o great_a enemy_n of_o civil_a government_n 1_o policy_n without_o religion_n be_v a_o body_n without_o a_o soul_n the_o motion_n of_o a_o politic_a body_n must_v have_v their_o beginning_n from_o religion_n because_o without_o it_o the_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n be_v too_o weak_a for_o the_o manage_n of_o so_o great_a a_o machine_n as_o a_o commonwealth_n the_o power_n of_o the_o people_n must_v be_v employ_v against_o themselves_o and_o the_o multitude_n must_v be_v subdue_v and_o keep_v in_o subjection_n by_o their_o own_o force_n all_o the_o difficulty_n and_o policy_n consist_v in_o persuade_v man_n to_o a_o thing_n so_o much_o against_o their_o natural_a inclination_n some_o great_a power_n must_v be_v inculcate_v and_o because_o that_o be_v not_o visible_a the_o very_a pagan_n think_v it_o necessary_a to_o create_v a_o belief_n in_o their_o subject_n of_o invisible_a deity_n to_o which_o both_o prince_n and_o subject_n profess_a obedience_n be_v convince_v in_o their_o judgement_n that_o all_o policy_n be_v weak_a without_o power_n either_o real_a or_o imagine_a to_o back_o it_o and_o that_o the_o best_a statesman_n be_v he_o who_o can_v persuade_v the_o people_n that_o he_o be_v more_o powerful_a than_o themselves_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o politician_n though_o atheist_n persecute_v atheism_n because_o if_o the_o multitude_n think_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o god_n or_o another_o life_n they_o will_v soon_o discover_v their_o own_o strength_n and_o apply_v it_o against_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n without_o fear_n of_o be_v overpowerd_v by_o the_o invisible_a hand_n of_o god_n in_o who_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v but_o fancy_n to_o be_v impossible_a 2_o atheist_n and_o protestant_n be_v swear_v brother_n and_o judge_v of_o other_o by_o themselves_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o roman_n catholic_n religion_n be_v but_o a_o politic_a invention_n to_o set_v up_o the_o pope_n and_o enrich_v the_o roman_a clergy_n by_o purgatory_n indulgence_n mass_n and_o pilgrimage_n to_o image_n if_o the_o roman_n catholic_n laity_n be_v as_o apt_a to_o be_v cheat_v as_o protestant_n think_v the_o roman_a clergy_n apt_a and_o incline_v to_o cheat_v their_o opinion_n will_v be_v more_o plausible_a but_o whosoever_o will_v reflect_v upon_o the_o manifest_a miracle_n and_o supernatural_a sign_n whereby_o these_o and_o all_o catholic_n tenet_n have_v be_v in_o former_a age_n and_o even_o in_o this_o present_a confirm_v and_o moreover_o will_v consider_v how_o mature_o many_o roman_a catholic_n of_o the_o laity_n most_o prudent_a and_o politic_a man_n have_v examine_v the_o ground_n of_o our_o religion_n and_o how_o impossible_a it_o be_v that_o so_o many_o former_a age_n different_a interest_n and_o opposite_a nation_n and_o family_n shall_v all_o concur_v and_o conspire_v to_o maintain_v for_o head_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n a_o man_n they_o never_o know_v nor_o expect_v any_o benefit_n by_o whosoever_o i_o say_v will_v reflect_v upon_o these_o thing_n will_v clear_o see_v and_o be_v convince_v that_o no_o humane_a policy_n can_v reach_v so_o far_o nor_o secrecy_n be_v so_o well_o keep_v that_o among_o so_o many_o million_o of_o person_n the_o cheat_n and_o mystery_n shall_v not_o break_v out_o and_o never_o hitherto_o be_v discover_v to_o protestant_n that_o be_v no_o less_o curious_a to_o know_v it_o then_o vain_a in_o imagine_v so_o ridiculous_a a_o foppery_n but_o in_o case_n they_o be_v resolve_v to_o be_v as_o obstinate_a in_o this_o mad_a fancy_n as_o in_o their_o other_o heresy_n they_o must_v grant_v that_o we_o have_v better_a success_n in_o our_o politic_a end_n than_o themselves_o and_o if_o they_o will_v needs_o call_v we_o knave_n they_o can_v think_v we_o be_v fool_n whereas_o they_o may_v to_o their_o own_o first_o reformer_n without_o injury_n attribute_v both_o denomination_n because_o they_o show_v so_o little_a wit_n in_o frame_v their_o new_a religion_n that_o they_o make_v they_o as_o inconsistent_a with_o government_n as_o inseparable_a from_o atheism_n destroy_v the_o very_a interest_n they_o intend_v to_o promote_v by_o reformation_n 5_o atheist_n and_o protestant_n do_v agree_v in_o rebellion_n against_o god_n and_o in_o be_v refractory_a against_o supreme_a authority_n but_o with_o this_o difference_n that_o the_o atheist_n declare_v against_o god_n himself_o the_o protestant_n against_o his_o church_n which_o be_v god_n liutenant_n upon_o earth_n he_o that_o rebel_n against_o the_o king_n liutenant_n will_v soon_o declare_v against_o himself_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n we_o see_v so_o many_o protestant_n become_v atheist_n and_o of_o no_o religion_n as_o rebellion_n grow_v to_o a_o height_n by_o degree_n first_o they_o point_v at_o evil_a counselor_n then_o at_o the_o favourite_n at_o length_n at_o the_o king_n person_n so_o atheism_n possess_v man_n mind_n first_o by_o vice_n then_o by_o protestancy_n and_o at_o last_o by_o no_o religion_n the_o ground_n of_o all_o religion_n and_o of_o obedience_n both_o to_o god_n and_o man_n be_v the_o appearance_n of_o a_o lawful_a authority_n and_o sovereignty_n adhere_v to_o the_o person_n that_o pretend_v it_o if_o the_o sign_n of_o his_o superiority_n and_o jurisdiction_n be_v evident_a he_o may_v challenge_v a_o evident_a right_n to_o our_o obedience_n and_o belief_n we_o be_v oblige_v to_o honour_v he_o according_a to_o his_o appearance_n this_o ground_n of_o religion_n and_o
