in swearing when we should not, and in
him for not swearing when he should; but that now he may have occasion
to say my Civilities are particular to him, I will make him do't.

I _J.C._ do sincerely promise and swear, that I will be faithful,
and bear true Allegiance to His Majesty King _William_: And I do
swear that I do, from my heart, abhor, detest and abjure, as Impious
and Heretical, that damnable Doctrine and Position, that Princes
excommunicated, or depriv'd by the Pope, or any Authority of the
See of _Rome_, may be Depos'd or Murther'd by their Subjects, or
any other whatsoever.

And I do declare that no Foreign Prince, Person, Prelate, State
or Potentate, hath, or aught to have, any Jurisdiction, Power,
Superiority, Preeminence or Authority, Ecclesiastical or Spiritual,
within this Realm. _So help me God._

This now, with a sincerity proper, and coming to Church to hear our
Divine Service, with the _Prayer_ for the _King_ in't, would give one a
little satisfaction as to the Doctors present opinion, for what he has
been, if you will but examine and scan it by his Book, tho it be a
Reforming Book, is I am sure very disputable; in one Page of it he seems
very zealous for the Protestant Reformation, and says, being very much

our side; but then presently in another place he's as zealous for the
_Roman_ Sect, and Jesuitically condemns a little wholesom Satyr in the
Character of a pamper'd hypocritical covetous _Spanish Fryer_, for
incivility in making him a Pimp to _Lorenzo_, and is very angry at the
Author for calling this virtuous person _a parcel of holy Guts and
Garbidge_, and telling him _that he has room in his Belly for his
Church-steeple_; [Footnote: Collier, p. 98.] and here his Lash is up
again for abusing them--oh--if _Doctor Absolution_ were Inquisitor
general, and a Satyrist against Priests came under his hand, mercy upon
us, how that poor Rascal would be flaug'd, for I find 'tis only the
person of the Priest that he would have reverenc'd, let his opinion be
what it will; nay, tho he were a _Priest of Baal_, as may be prov'd a
