of_o his_o former_a in_o advertency_n and_o miscarriage_n herein_o it_o be_v a_o unworthy_a and_o inbecoming_a action_n and_o sure_o i_o be_o no_o sober_a mind_n will_v do_v it_o inasmuch_o as_o there_o be_v a_o act_n of_o indemnity_n pass_v by_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_o to_o have_v all_o these_o thing_n bury_v in_o the_o ember_n of_o oblivion_n and_o forgetfulness_n and_o that_o they_o will_v have_v no_o distinction_n of_o person_n now_o use_v save_v only_o what_o consist_v with_o the_o longitude_n and_o latitude_n of_o a_o good_a christian_a a_o good_a subject_n and_o a_o good_a

and_o if_o in_o case_n they_o be_v in_o the_o same_o capacity_n they_o will_v never_o run_v again_o the_o same_o extreme_n and_o i_o can_v wish_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n that_o these_o book_n that_o be_v now_o in_o print_n and_o suffer_v to_o be_v sell_v which_o do_v so_o much_o reflect_v upon_o these_o man_n credit_n and_o reputation_n be_v not_o tolerate_v inasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v in_o my_o

the_o objection_n lie_v herein_o viz._n that_o you_o have_v lay_v out_o so_o much_o money_n already_o upon_o the_o rebuild_n of_o your_o royal_a exchange_n and_o that_o in_o reason_n you_o ought_v to_o have_v so_o much_o interest_n for_o the_o same_o by_o way_n of_o improvement_n or_o else_o you_o may_v as_o well_o have_v throw_v away_o your_o money_n into_o the_o street_n or_o have_v send_v

on_o no_o design_n of_o particular_a self_n interest_n enough_o to_o mar_v the_o best_a cause_n in_o the_o world_n i_o hope_v in_o time_n there_o will_v be_v such_o a_o right_a understanding_n
