But let's joyn issue, and go fairly to't,
And to a Kings-Bench-Trial put the Suit.
The Plaintiff CON: NON-CON Defendant place,
This Liberty of Conscience makes the Case.
Whither indulging Protestants to teach
Freely, and publickly the Gospel preach.
“The Prince a Protestant, approved so
“By Oath, by Law, by practise, (not in show)
“With Premunire, but to mutter No.
“But yet exempting Papists from the awe.
“(If there were any) of the Penal Law,
“Allowing them no publick place at all
“Beyond the limits of their private wall.
“Whither this be a Trojan-Mare with Fole
“Of Pop'ry, by a leap from Rome she stole.
In this case Con is Pro, and Non is Con;
And now God save the King, and let's fall on.
And to a Kings-Bench-Trial put the Suit.
The Plaintiff CON: NON-CON Defendant place,
