A67003	A short letter modestly intreating a friends judgement upon Mr. Edwards, his booke he calleth an Anti-apologie, with a large but modest answer thereunto framed, in desire, with such evennesse of hand, and uprightnesse of heart, as that no godly man might be effended at it : and with soule-desire also, that they, who are contrary-minded, might not be offended neither, but instructed.	Woodward, Ezekias, 1590-1675.; Hartlib, Samuel, d. 1662.	1644 (1644)	Wing W3502; ESTC R18279	37,876	40

his_o rhetoric_n i_o e._n i_o will_v not_o help_v myself_o with_o private_a letter_n i_o will_v neither_o quote_v they_o nor_o hearsay_n not_o i_o nor_o will_v i_o use_v satyr_n and_o invective_n though_o such_o rhetoric_n find_v the_o vulgar-ear_n more_o open_a than_o logic_n reason_n do_v i_o will_v use_v none_o of_o all_o this_o i_o will_v deal_v more_o candid_o than_o so_o and_o more_o become_v a_o christian_n and_o a_o brother_n thus_o i_o will_v do_v make_v a_o narration_n only_o and_o declare_v thing_n which_o i_o see_v and_o hear_v and_o not_o another_o for_o i_o there_o i_o

for_o the_o establish_n of_o evil_a and_o overthrow_v of_o good_a i_o see_v they_o contribute_v their_o purse_n and_o then_o they_o will_v their_o blood_n too_o for_o money_n come_v from_o we_o like_o
