mighty_a thing_n be_v concern_v in_o this_o passage_n of_o you_o that_o be_v truth_n and_o a_o good-name_n the_o latter_a of_o which_o solcmon_n tell_v we_o be_v better_a than_o precious_a ointment_n and_o for_o the_o former_a truth_n it_o be_v a_o attribute_n of_o our_o great_a and_o good_a god_n and_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o man_n to_o imitate_v god_n in_o this_o attribute_n and_o that_o man_n be_v worse_a than_o the_o beast_n that_o perish_v that_o be_v not_o a_o man_n of_o truth_n and_o truth_n make_v a_o man_n as_o bold_a as_o a_o lion_n ask_v the_o lawyer_n what_o plead_v for_o they_o will_v tell_v you_o for_o truth_n ask_v the_o minister_n of_o all_o persuasion_n what_o they_o preach_v and_o they_o will_v tell_v you_o truth_n ask_v all_o writer_n of_o book_n in_o

and_o you_o believe_v you_o have_v bring_v enough_o for_o that_o purpose_n and_o hope_v you_o have_v thereby_o convince_v all_o lover_n of_o truth_n more_o than_o of_o man_n person_n how_o unsase_v it_o be_v to_o take_v thing_n upon_o trust_n from_o he_o page_n 33_o and_o sir_n i_o find_v you_o your_o self_n so_o much_o a_o lover_n of_o truth_n as_o you_o pretend_v at_o least_o that_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o be_v angry_a with_o i_o for_o declare_v the_o truth_n in_o this_o passage_n you_o yourself_o appeal_v to_o i_o in_o between_o the_o late_a duke_n of_o lauderdale_n and_o the_o now_o

you_o go_v on_o and_o say_v speak_v of_o dr._n jo._n tillot_n son_n late_a lord_n archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n and_o dr._n gilbert_n burnet_n now_o lord_n bishop_n of_o salisbury_n against_o who_o you_o say_v you_o have_v be_v provoke_v to_o draw_v up_o two_o several_a charge_n or_o information_n which_o somewhat_o blomish_v their_o honour_n so_o you_o hope_v you_o have_v prove_v they_o in_o

of_o our_o former_a usurpation_n which_o detect_v the_o ill_a man_n of_o those_o time_n and_o their_o hypocrisy_n and_o imquity_n to_o the_o world_n the_o same_o thing_n have_v i_o do_v late_o in_o

so_o i_o believe_v will_v all_o good_a men._n and_o beside_o to_o speak_v proper_o and_o just_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o libel_n all_o book_n onght_n not_o to_o be_v so_o call_v which_o expose_v

reputation_n of_o these_o man_n yet_o it_o do_v it_o true_o just_o and_o deserve_o and_o so_o far_o be_o i_o from_o bear_v the_o person_n of_o the_o one_o or_o the_o memory_n of_o the_o other_o any_o malice_n that_o have_v i_o be_v act_v by_o that_o evil_a passion_n i_o can_v have_v write_v against_o they_o both_o much_o soon_o and_o have_v be_v better_o provide_v to_o write_v against_o they_o now_o man_n that_o do_v ill_a thing_n open_o and_o with_o a_o high_a hand_n though_o under_o never_o so_o splendid_a pretence_n aught_o to_o hear_v of_o they_o especial_o when_o they_o go_v about_o to_o make_v saint_n and_o hero_n of_o one_o another_o with_o a_o design_n to_o cover_v their_o own_o iniquity_n and_o deceive_v the_o people_n when_o this_o happen_v to_o be_v the_o case_n charity_n to_o the_o people_n soul_n and_o the_o love_n of_o the_o public_a oblige_v all_o lover_n of_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n to_o unvizard_n such_o man_n and_o expose_v they_o in_o their_o true_a appearance_n before_o their_o credulous_a and_o delude_a admirer_n as_o to_o this_o last_o paragraph_n so_o far_o all_o good_a man_n will_v agree_v with_o you_o but_o how_o far_o the_o world_n will_v believe_v you_o as_o to_o these_o two_o popular_a divine_n as_o you_o be_v please_v to_o call_v they_o when_o i_o have_v tell_v my_o matter_n or_o give_v my_o deposition_n as_o you_o yourself_o be_v please_v to_o term_v it_o i_o leave_v it_o to_o judgement_n and_o as_o i_o have_v endeavour_v in_o the_o follow_a discourse_n to_o do_v so_o by_o these_o two_o popular_a divine_n so_o i_o assure_v the_o reader_n i_o have_v do_v it_o pure_o upon_o these_o generous_a motive_n wish_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n that_o neither_o of_o they_o have_v give_v so_o many_o and_o public_a provocation_n to_o undeceive_v any_o part_n of_o the_o world_n by_o write_v such_o severe_a truth_n so_o much_o i_o have_v take_v out_o of_o your_o own_o preface_n and_o now_o sir_n i_o will_v go_v on_o and_o give_v you_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o matter_n you_o mention_v in_o page_n the_o 18_o and_o 19_o of_o your_o book_n as_o touch_v that_o passage_n of_o the_o dedication_n of_o dr._n gilbert_n burnet_n
