that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o defender_n do_v challenge_v a_o vindication_n and_o the_o word_n of_o a_o priest_n say_v that_o it_o need_v one_o both_o shall_v have_v a_o answer_n present_o but_o first_o it_o be_v remarkable_a that_o this_o new_a reply_n have_v get_v a_o licence_n when_o none_o of_o his_o other_o elaborate_a work_n can_v procure_v one_o however_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o the_o licenser_n may_v hereafter_o renounce_v or_o retract_v his_o allowance_n in_o this_o case_n as_o he_o have_v do_v in_o several_a other_o already_o when_o his_o superior_n be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o content_n and_o tendency_n of_o that_o to_o which_o he_o have_v give_v his_o imprimatur_fw-la for_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v suppose_v that_o minister_n of_o state_n will_v ever_o be_v so_o incurious_a of_o their_o master_n honour_n and_o the_o right_n of_o his_o crown_n as_o to_o approve_v their_o diminution_n when_o once_o they_o perceive_v it_o the_o single_a point_n which_o the_o advocate_n for_o magistracy_n assume_v to_o maintain_v be_v that_o the_o indictment_n in_o question_n be_v legal_a and_o good_a sufficient_a both_o for_o matter_n and_o form_n and_o do_v warrant_v the_o judgement_n which_o be_v pronounce_v upon_o the_o verdict_n that_o affirm_v its_o truth_n this_o seem_v the_o principal_a assertion_n in_o that_o paper_n which_o whether_o his_o precedent_n and_o authority_n argument_n and_o reason_n be_v sufficient_a to_o prove_v the_o reader_n must_v judge_v that_o the_o case_n he_o cite_v be_v true_o report_v for_o so_o much_o as_o he_o use_v they_o none_o can_v deny_v and_o that_o the_o law_n be_v with_o he_o upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n shall_v be_v further_o evince_v but_o since_o that_o sheet_n have_v make_v some_o noise_n among_o angry_a man_n which_o be_v little_o expect_v by_o he_o that_o write_v it_o it_o will_v not_o i_o hope_v be_v think_v impertinent_a to_o spend_v a_o few_o paragraph_n upon_o the_o boisterous_a and_o bluster_a invective_n and_o remark_n make_v against_o its_o author_n in_o a_o pretend_a reply_n in_o his_o vindication_n therefore_o i_o shall_v observe_v the_o temper_n the_o wit_n the_o guess_n the_o reason_n the_o religion_n and_o last_o the_o law_n of_o that_o replication_n as_o to_o the_o temper_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v write_v under_o some_o disappointment_n for_o the_o author_n do_v in_o every_o sentence_n declare_v his_o passion_n and_o plain_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o be_v then_o discompose_v but_o whether_o his_o displeasure_n be_v conceive_v at_o a_o past_a or_o present_a chief_n be_v not_o so_o easy_a to_o determine_v to_o expose_v his_o fury_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o repeat_v his_o epithet_n of_o dare_v bold_a impudent_a presumptuous_a base_a ingenerous_a insolent_a etc._n etc._n and_o all_o this_o despise_a by_o his_o repute_a author_n and_o smile_v at_o by_o the_o real_a one_o he_o be_v please_v to_o call_v the_o sentence_n and_o execution_n a_o plain_a murder_n which_o if_o so_o sure_o i_o be_o that_o he_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o prosecute_v a_o indictment_n against_o the_o judge_n the_o recorder_n the_o grand_a and_o the_o petit_fw-fr jury_n the_o witness_n the_o clerk_n the_o solicitor_n the_o gaoler_n the_o sheriff_n and_o the_o executioner_n for_o they_o be_v all_o concern_v either_o as_o accessory_n or_o principal_n and_o demerit_v a_o halter_n if_o the_o repliants_n opinion_n be_v law_n but_o it_o be_v observe_v among_o honest_a man_n that_o none_o of_o these_o party_n show_v any_o fear_n on_o it_o and_o the_o reason_n they_o give_v for_o it_o be_v because_o the_o indictment_n be_v as_o good_a as_o their_o jurisdiction_n and_o the_o concurrence_n of_o those_o two_o make_v they_o as_o safe_a as_o a_o act_n of_o indemnity_n can_v do_v but_o all_o this_o be_v passion_n as_o to_o the_o wit_n on_o it_o most_o of_o his_o reader_n be_v at_o a_o loss_n where_o to_o find_v it_o unless_o it_o be_v in_o his_o english_a verse_n which_o do_v so_o hit_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o original_a and_o contain_v such_o strong_a and_o pregnant_a flight_n of_o english_a poetry_n that_o some_o of_o his_o reader_n have_v compare_v they_o even_o with_o sternhold_n and_o hopkins_n and_o other_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o they_o do_v not_o come_v short_a of_o the_o essay_n of_o the_o two_o grays-inn_n poet_n one_o of_o which_o translate_v grotius_n de_fw-fr veritate_fw-la christianae_n religionis_fw-la and_o the_o other_o coke_n upon_o littleton_n into_o rhyme_n but_o the_o generality_n do_v declare_v that_o for_o height_n of_o fancy_n propriety_n of_o english_a and_o exactness_n of_o rhyme_n he_o have_v much_o outdo_v all_o those_o but_o for_o my_o part_n i_o believe_v that_o last_o rhapsody_n be_v add_v not_o so_o much_o for_o the_o ingeny_n sake_n as_o to_o menace_v the_o answerer_n with_o a_o design_n to_o sacrifice_v he_o whensoever_o a_o occasion_n shall_v offer_v itself_o and_o consequent_o to_o do_v what_o the_o whole_a book_n complain_v of_o but_o that_o advocate_n be_v not_o so_o much_o a_o coward_n as_o to_o be_v afraid_a on_o it_o as_o for_o the_o guess_v it_o be_v very_o cunning_a and_o argue_v more_o figure_n knowledge_n than_o true_a judgement_n in_o styles_n modes_n dialect_v or_o peculiarity_n of_o speech_n or_o write_v for_o he_o will_v have_v the_o author_n of_o that_o sheet_n to_o be_v the_o

may_v be_v assure_v it_o be_v mere_a accident_n that_o occasion_v that_o fault_n he_o will_v have_v it_o to_o be_v the_o then_o solicitor_n because_o of_o his_o reputation_n which_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v touch_v in_o that_o defence_n but_o his_o reader_n think_v that_o that_o gentleman_n figure_n for_o learning_n honour_n and_o virtue_n be_v so_o far_o above_o the_o reach_n of_o a_o little_a pamphlet_n that_o all_o the_o virulent_a reproach_n of_o the_o reply_n can_v sully_v it_o nor_o be_v it_o in_o the_o power_n of_o any_o tongue_n or_o pen_n to_o prejudice_v his_o character_n in_o
