you_o who_o have_v overturn_v the_o government_n and_o violate_v all_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o i_o wish_v he_o have_v see_v they_o before_o that_o he_o may_v have_v escape_v those_o punishment_n which_o make_v such_o a_o noise_n and_o turn_v to_o so_o bad_a a_o account_n in_o the_o kingdom_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o upon_o this_o matter_n but_o this_o that_o the_o great_a mistake_n the_o nation_n be_v then_o in_o and_o many_o be_v to_o this_o very_a day_n be_v that_o these_o three_o man_n suffer_v for_o pure_a religion_n for_o be_v severe_a christian_n in_o their_o life_n and_o conversation_n and_o stand_v up_o for_o the_o cause_n of_o christ_n whereas_o it_o appear_v throughout_o the_o whole_a story_n it_o be_v for_o libel_v the_o government_n and_o put_v indignity_n and_o affront_v upon_o the_o then_o legal_a administrator_n such_o as_o no_o government_n that_o value_v itsself_n and_o its_o honour_n upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n will_v bear_v without_o just_a resentment_n and_o suitable_a punishment_n christian_n religion_n teach_v man_n to_o be_v modest_a and_o peaceable_a and_o with_o all_o patience_n to_o suffer_v for_o well_o do_v and_o to_o acknowledge_v god_n justice_n when_o his_o rod_n be_v lay_v upon_o their_o back_n for_o evil_a do_v and_o so_o much_o by_o way_n of_o answer_n to_o that_o part_n of_o your_o book_n by_o which_o you_o have_v endeavour_v to_o blacken_v the_o good_a king_n reign_n and_o to_o run_v down_o the_o reputation_n of_o bishop_n laud_n and_o to_o express_v your_o

of_o a_o clear_a credit_n and_o sound_a judgement_n who_o as_o his_o son_n tell_v we_o in_o his_o mem._n say_v of_o he_o that_o he_o have_v too_o much_o fire_n but_o be_v a_o just_a and_o good_a man._n and_o true_o sir_n i_o think_v it_o be_v more_o like_o a_o christian_n to_o speak_v well_o of_o a_o christian_a bishop_n than_o to_o call_v he_o by_o such_o spiteful_a and_o reproachful_a name_n as_o you_o have_v do_v in_o your_o scurrilous_a book_n i_o come_v now_o to_o make_v some_o reflection_n upon_o your_o scotch_a story_n which_o you_o have_v tell_v with_o so_o much_o venom_n and_o partiality_n that_o you_o have_v every_o way_n act_v like_o your_o malicious_a and_o ungodly_a self_n and_o show_v you_o be_v a_o man_n so_o resolve_v for_o a_o party_n that_o rather_o than_o not_o serve_v it_o to_o purpose_n you_o will_v call_v darkness_n light_n and_o light_a darkness_n you_o begin_v with_o a_o relation_n of_o bishop_n laud'_v compose_v a_o common-prayer-book_n for_o they_o and_o tell_v we_o how_o the_o mutiny_n and_o disturbance_n in_o scotland_n spring_v from_o thence_o which_o true_o i_o be_o very_o sorry_a for_o for_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o have_v be_v better_a for_o they_o and_o the_o christian_a religion_n profess_v among_o they_o if_o they_o have_v submit_v to_o the_o usage_n of_o the_o book_n and_o continue_v it_o ever_o since_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n will_v have_v be_v perform_v with_o order_n and_o decency_n and_o in_o a_o way_n suitable_a to_o his_o divine_a nature_n and_o perfection_n and_o consequent_o can_v not_o have_v be_v expose_v to_o the_o contempt_n and_o scorn_n of_o man_n wicked_o and_o atheistical_o incline_v nor_o yet_o have_v be_v nauseous_a to_o the_o sober_o wise_a and_o serious_o devout_a part_n of_o that_o kingdom_n as_o now_o it_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o those_o rude_a and_o undigested_a address_n those_o extempore_o and_o unpremeditated_a expostulation_n with_o god_n those_o bold_a and_o saucy_a application_n that_o for_o want_v of_o a_o good_a book_n or_o a_o well_o frame_v form_n of_o prayer_n of_o their_o own_o beforehand_o and_o commit_v to_o memory_n be_v so_o common_o make_v use_n of_o in_o their_o

this_o boldface_n say_v this_o liturgy_n be_v not_o only_o compose_v by_o bishop_n laud_n but_o send_v by_o he_o to_o the_o pope_n and_o cardinal_n for_o their_o approbation_n and_o this_o story_n i_o must_v not_o dare_v to_o deny_v but_o with_o your_o good_a leave_n mr._n modesty_n i_o will_v venture_v upon_o the_o piece_n of_o confidence_n as_o to_o tell_v you_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v it_o and_o that_o because_o you_o assert_v it_o you_o who_o i_o have_v prove_v already_o to_o falsify_v and_o misrepresent_v every_o thing_n that_o you_o pretend_v write_v authority_n for_o what!_o bishop_n laud_n send_v to_o the_o pope_n and_o cardinal_n for_o their_o approbation_n of_o a_o liturgy_n almost_o the_o same_o with_o our_o own_o sure_o sir_n you_o have_v forget_v the_o hatred_n the_o pope_n of_o rome_n as_o well_o as_o the_o dissenter_n have_v to_o our_o church_n common-prayer-book_n you_o have_v forget_v the_o bull_n of_o the_o pope_n in_o the_o ten_o of_o queen_n elizabeth_n which_o command_v all_o his_o pretend_a catholic_n child_n not_o to_o attend_v upon_o the_o public_a liturgical_a devotion_n of_o our_o church_n and_o that_o under_o the_o severe_a censure_n of_o the_o apostolical_a chair_n and_o you_o have_v also_o forget_v but_o you_o have_v always_o a_o bad_a memory_n for_o any_o thing_n that_o make_v either_o for_o monarchy_n or_o

be_v very_o likely_a bishop_n laud_n shall_v send_v a_o liturgy_n to_o rome_n for_o its_o approbation_n which_o have_v so_o long_o stand_v condemn_v by_o the_o high_a authority_n that_o preside_v there_o in_o short_a sir_n i_o can_v but_o conclude_v from_o this_o story_n that_o you_o have_v get_v a_o secret_a or_o else_o you_o will_v have_v blush_v to_o have_v vent_v such_o a_o altogether_o

not_o to_o abuse_v the_o good_a people_n of_o england_n with_o such_o insinuation_n as_o will_v gain_v a_o belief_n from_o none_o but_o those_o who_o be_v resolve_v to_o believe_v all_o you_o bold_o

in_o who_o name_n and_o by_o whole_a authority_n be_v it_o send_v be_v it_o put_v upon_o they_o by_o a_o rump_n parliament_n a_o usurp_a protector_n or_o by_o their_o lawful_a and_o undoubted_a

how_o disgustful_a the_o liturgy_n be_v to_o many_o of_o his_o subject_n in_o that_o kingdom_n what_o must_v nothing_o serve_v these_o pure_a and_o refine_a reformer_n but_o fire_v present_o call_v
