that_o i_o believe_v the_o covenant_n be_v require_v of_o little_a child_n that_o offer_v to_o take_v degree_n of_o master_n of_o art_n about_o the_o age_n of_o thirty_o year_n whereas_o i_o mention_v

and_o therefore_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v be_v angry_a but_o further_a doctor_n although_o it_o be_v the_o custom_n now_o for_o child_n to_o go_v to_o the_o university_n at_o twelve_o or_o fourteen_o which_o yet_o be_v rare_a except_o you_o mean_v the_o humanity_n class_n it_o be_v not_o so_o usual_a in_o 1638_o or_o the_o time_n of_o the_o covenant_n which_o i_o believe_v your_o doctorship_n

not_o love_v to_o be_v in_o your_o debt_n i_o will_v answer_v your_o question_n in_o pag._n 54._o and_o show_v that_o you_o be_v as_o ignorant_a of_o your_o own_o act_n as_o i_o be_o of_o our_o

let_v you_o know_v if_o ever_o clergyman_n be_v turn_v out_o of_o their_o live_n upon_o their_o deny_v to_o promise_n neither_o direct_o nor_o indirect_o to_o alter_v a_o ecclesiastical_a government_n for_o here_o you_o see_v it_o be_v impose_v upon_o laic_n and_o therefore_o we_o hope_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n will_v find_v no_o reason_n to_o complain_v that_o this_o be_v impose_v upon_o our_o ecclesiastic_n and_o whereas_o you_o caution_n i_o not_o to_o run_v up_o and_o down_o and_o make_v a_o noise_n as_o if_o you_o oppose_v a_o act_n of_o parliament_n for_o you_o only_o

for_o they_o have_v in_o the_o act_n establish_v presbytery_n declare_v it_o most_o agreeable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o your_o doctorship_n be_v wise_a than_o they_o all_o and_o say_v it_o can_v be_v reconcile_v to_o it_o no_o more_o than_o to_o the_o former_a settlement_n of_o presbytery_n and_o yet_o the_o last_o act_n establish_v presbytery_n do_v only_o ratify_v the_o act_n of_o

which_o be_v all_o that_o i_o say_v though_o according_a to_o your_o ordinary_a way_n you_o falsify_v my_o word_n and_o whereas_o you_o be_v please_v to_o argue_v for_o episcopacy_n from_o the_o
