           the
           feare
           of

           Forraigne
           Invasion

           is
           it
           to
           be
           conceived
           ,
           that
           the
           Recusants
           of
           this

           defence
           thereof
           ?
           Sure
           the
           great
           confusion
           which
           is
           now
           in
           this
           Kingdome
           is
           of
           as
           fearfull
           a
           consequence
           as
           any
           forraine
           Invasion
           possibly
           can
           be
           ,
           and
           therefore
           the
           Recusants
           are
           so
           farre
           from
           being
           disobliged
           ,
           as
           they
           stand
           deeply
           obliged
           for
           giving
           their
           assistance
           in
           this
           time
           of
           extremity
           ,
           if
           they
           shall
           be
           required
           ;
           But
           His
           Majesty
           was
           very
           cautelous
           and
           tender
           in
           this
           point
           ,
           and
           certainly
           would
           not
           have
           looked
           towards
           it
           ,
           if
           the
           other
           Party
           had
           not
           first
           assumed
           that
           liberty
           to
           themselves
           ,
           from
           which
           by
           the
           Law
           of
           the
           Land
           he
           saw
           himselfe
           no
           way
           barred
           .
        
         
           If
           there
           be
           no
           barre
           in
           Law
           against
           it
           ,
           then
           let
           us
           examine
           these
           pretended
           grand
           inconveniences
           ,
           wherewith
           (
           as
           they
           alledge
           )
           it
           is
           attended
           :
           Sure
           the
           wisest
           Heathen
           Emperors
           that
           ever
           were
           ,
           did
           admit
           into
           their
           Armies
           whole
           Legions
           of
           Christian
           Souldiers
           ,
           whose
           fidelity
           they
           relied
           much
           upon
           ,
           though
           the
           Emperours
           themselves
           blasphemed
           that
           God
           whom
           those
           Christian
           Souldiers
