yet_o it_o ease_v my_o stomach_n to_o tell_v it_o out_o the_o puritan_n in_o scotland_n have_v get_v up_o their_o discipline_n and_o utter_o overthrow_v all_o the_o sovereignty_n of_o bishop_n by_o which_o they_o prevail_v so_o mighty_o that_o we_o fear_v our_o fall_n in_o england_n short_o to_o ensue_v whereupon_o i_o be_v send_v together_o with_o this_o my_o friend_n who_o come_v out_o of_o

also_o but_o i_o pray_v you_o help_v i_o to_o speak_v with_o that_o puritan_n i_o shall_v learn_v more_o by_o he_o because_o he_o be_v better_a acquaint_v with_o the_o cause_n than_o either_o of_o you_o demetri_fw-la he_o may_v soon_o know_v more_o in_o that_o case_n than_o i_o for_o i_o promise_v you_o my_o only_a study_n be_v in_o my_o count_a house_n to_o see_v my_o money_n and_o when_o

paul_n i_o be_o willing_a to_o go_v to_o they_o though_o it_o be_v late_a and_o so_o much_o the_o rather_o because_o i_o long_o to_o hear_v some_o good_a news_n from_o thence_o pandoch_n here_o be_v the_o gentleman_n that_o you_o desire_v to_o speak_v withal_o diotreph_n you_o be_v welcome_a my_o friend_n i_o be_v desirous_a to_o speak_v with_o you_o for_o that_o i_o perceive_v you_o come_v

so_o grievous_o paul_n they_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o shepherd_n and_o set_v at_o liberty_n the_o raven_a wolf_n and_o turn_v the_o fox_n among_o the_o lamb_n diotreph_n i_o must_v desire_v

bear_v such_o a_o enmity_n against_o the_o kingdom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o they_o put_v to_o silence_v one_o after_o a_o other_o and_o will_v never_o cease_v if_o god_n bridle_v they_o not_o until_o they_o have_v root_v out_o of_o the_o church_n all_o the_o learned_a godly_a and_o painful_a teacher_n the_o second_o be_v that_o they_o enlarge_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o common_a enemy_n the_o papist_n the_o last_o be_v that_o they_o commit_v the_o feed_v of_o the_o flock_n of_o christ_n unto_o those_o that_o prey_n upon_o they_o and_o either_o can_v or_o will_v not_o labour_v to_o reclaim_v the_o wander_a sheep_n so_o that_o the_o conclusion_n that_o may_v be_v gather_v upon_o their_o action_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o eversion_n and_o overthrow_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o so_o consequent_o the_o bring_n in_o of_o popery_n and_o atheism_n diotreph_n they_o put_v none_o to_o silence_n but_o the_o puritan_n who_o do_v indeed_o more_o hurt_v than_o good_a paul_n i_o know_v no_o puritan_n if_o there_o be_v any_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o they_o be_v put_v to_o silence_n but_o satan_n teach_v the_o papist_n so_o to_o name_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o you_o be_v his_o instrument_n in_o continue_v the_o same_o rerme_n diotreph_n i_o mean_v they_o that_o be_v not_o content_v with_o the_o estate_n but_o mislike_v the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n and_o will_v have_v a_o new_a form_n of_o government_n which_o will_v mar_v all_o paul_n will_v you_o have_v they_o content_v with_o antichristian_a prelate_n
