myself_o the_o trouble_n of_o write_v and_o you_o of_o read_v this_o leaf_n come_v from_o a_o pamphlet_n which_o take_v the_o name_n of_o a_o letter_n though_o it_o deserve_v rather_o that_o of_o a_o book_n however_o madam_n call_v it_o what_o you_o please_v it_o prove_v that_o least_o which_o it_o most_o pretend_v indeed_o the_o gentleman_n fling_v a_o little_a scripture_n before_o your_o eye_n not_o to_o open_v they_o but_o to_o blind_a they_o and_o yet_o as_o much_o as_o i_o can_v gather_v he_o desire_v you_o to_o thank_v he_o for_o the_o favour_n do_v time_n permit_v i_o i_o assure_v your_o ladyship_n i_o can_v make_v a_o retaliation_n and_o confute_v with_o scripture_n those_o very_a point_n he_o coroborat_n with_o it_o but_o yet_o i_o confess_v ingenuous_o want_v of_o time_n be_v not_o the_o only_a hindrance_n a_o worthy_a pen_n have_v do_v it_o to_o my_o hand_n and_o therefore_o in_o my_o opinion_n it_o be_v a_o piece_n of_o the_o great_a folly_n to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v do_v already_o if_o your_o ladyship_n will_v not_o believe_v i_o turn_v to_o the_o triple-cord_n and_o believe_v your_o own_o eye_n the_o gentleman_n insinuate_v you_o be_v endow_v with_o more_o
