papista

EN For first, as I have already observed, it would greatly lessen the number of papists, with whom we are yearly overrun, being the principal breeders of the nation as well as our most dangerous enemies; and who stay at home on purpose with a design to deliver the kingdom to the Pretender, hoping to take their advantage by the absence of so many good protestants, who have chosen rather to leave their country than stay at home and pay tithes against their conscience to an episcopal curate.
GL En primeiro lugar, como xa observei, minguaría moitísimo o número de papistas, que nos superan cada ano, sendo os principais reproductores da nación así como os nosos peores inimigos e os que fican nos seus fogares co propósito de entregárenlle o reino ó Pretendente, esperando que aproveite a ausencia de moitos protestantes bos que preferiron deixa-lo país antes que ficar no lar e pagar décimos en contra das súas conciencias a un bispo.
