i_o think_v it_o a_o very_a odd_a kind_n of_o question_n upon_o all_o account_n but_o since_o it_o be_v not_o ask_v in_o a_o sudden_a heat_n but_o after_o ten_o day_n deliberation_n and_o noise_n i_o tell_v he_o that_o i_o do_v indeed_o speak_v word_n to_o that_o purpose_n and_o that_o i_o will_v justify_v the_o truth_n of_o they_o and_o that_o as_o thing_n than_o stand_v there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o i_o shall_v speak_v as_o i_o do_v but_o since_o i_o name_v nobody_o if_o that_o gentleman_n find_v himself_o guilty_a he_o may_v take_v it_o as_o he_o please_v and_o that_o if_o he_o have_v send_v private_o to_o i_o at_o first_o i_o will_v have_v wait_v upon_o he_o and_o give_v he_o a_o particular_a account_n of_o the_o whole_a matter_n but_o that_o now_o since_o i_o have_v be_v so_o public_o defame_v and_o threaten_v i_o be_v resolve_v to_o appeal_v to_o my_o ordinary_n and_o to_o publish_v the_o whole_a matter_n to_o the_o world_n and_o this_o now_o be_v the_o only_a reason_n i_o have_v for_o this_o publication_n which_o i_o hope_v will_v also_o be_v admit_v for_o my_o excuse_n cuse_v especial_o since_o i_o do_v here_o profess_v that_o as_o i_o never_o think_v

my_o own_o particular_a vindication_n have_v force_v it_o from_o i_o now_o for_o i_o will_v have_v lie_v still_o under_o all_o the_o personal_a reproach_n that_o can_v have_v be_v throw_v upon_o i_o but_o that_o i_o clear_o see_v nay_o i_o find_v it_o by_o my_o own_o experience_n how_o much_o the_o protestant_a religion_n suffer_v and_o popery_n be_v encourage_v and_o prevail_v daily_o by_o such_o kind_n of_o practice_n for_o it_o be_v that_o and_o only_o that_o which_o have_v make_v i_o thus_o to_o discover_v and_o betray_v my_o own_o weakness_n and_o for_o those_o person_n that_o

before_o i_o with_o all_o faithfulness_n to_o god_n and_o his_o church_n and_o as_o for_o those_o few_o thing_n which_o i_o do_v say_v which_o be_v far_o short_a of_o what_o i_o know_v they_o be_v

guilty_a mind_n will_v be_v offend_v when_o their_o fault_n be_v but_o mention_v they_o may_v indeed_o but_o i_o can_v help_v that_o and_o therefore_o if_o they_o will_v have_v i_o forbear_v that_o

faction_n and_o hypocrisy_n grow_v rampant_a and_o headstrong_a under_o their_o influence_n and_o example_n they_o must_v pardon_v i_o if_o i_o discharge_v my_o trust_n however_o they_o may_v neglect_v and_o betray_v they_o and_o as_o for_o this_o particular_a sermon_n if_o the_o world_n will_v but_o excuse_v and_o wink_v at_o the_o weakness_n which_o this_o necessary_a publication_n force_v i_o to_o discover_v in_o it_o i'ls_o ask_v no_o body_n pardon_v for_o the_o preach_a of_o it_o because_o though_o it_o be_v homely_a yet_o it_o be_v true_a and_o i_o shall_v be_v very_o apt_a
