heroic_a piety_n and_o virtue_n do_v you_o not_o think_v sir_n but_o the_o life_n of_o our_o cook_n crook_n and_o roll_n will_v not_o be_v very_o useful_a and_o acceptable_a to_o our_o lawyer_n and_o

sir_n matthew_n hales_n write_v by_o our_o present_a bishop_n of_o salisbury_n have_v be_v to_o this_o nation_n i_o must_v beg_v the_o bishop_n pardon_n for_o insert_v one_o expression_n here_o of_o that_o good_a man_n sir_n matthew_n hales_n which_o i_o believe_v he_o have_v not_o in_o his_o life_n i_o have_v live_a authority_n for_o it_o unto_o who_o he_o say_v it_o that_o when_o he_o publish_v the_o life_n of_o pomponius_n atticus_n he_o do_v suspect_v that_o the_o world_n will_v believe_v that_o he_o therein_o write_v his_o own_o and_o now_o sir_n i_o can_v forbear_v tell_v you_o what_o i_o late_o read_v as_o i_o remember_v in_o diogenes_n laertius_n who_o give_v a_o account_n of_o the_o life_n of_o one_o of_o his_o philosopher_n that_o as_o for_o natural_a philosophy_n he_o have_v no_o esteem_n of_o and_o altogether_o neglect_v it_o but_o he_o be_v so_o intent_n on_o and_o studious_a of_o moral_a philosophy_n that_o he_o do_v not_o allow_v himself_o time_n to_o comb_v his_o

philosopher_n ever_o be_v as_o be_v evident_a by_o my_o lord_n bacon_n essay_n moral_a and_o divine_a my_o lord_n chief_a justice_n hale_n contemplation_n divine_a and_o moral_a and_o mr._n boyle_n occasional_a meditation_n etc._n etc._n yet_o they_o be_v not_o such_o sloven_n as_o to_o neglect_v comb_v their_o head_n or_o pair_v their_o nail_n neither_o be_v they_o such_o cynic_n as_o to_o

archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n dr._n john_n tillotjon_n you_o have_v not_o call_v i_o to_o give_v my_o testimony_n of_o he_o therefore_o i_o leave_v it_o to_o his_o learned_a and_o pious_a work_v which_o be_v already_o publish_v to_o the_o world_n and_o also_o to_o his_o intimate_a friend_n to_o vindicate_v he_o which_o i_o believe_v they_o will_v ready_o do_v and_o sir_n i_o hope_v you_o will_v pardon_v i_o for_o tell_v you_o now_o and_o then_o a_o truth_n which_o be_v to_o the_o purpose_n and_o the_o matter_n we_o be_v speak_v of_o when_o i_o first_o come_v to_o live_v at_o my_o

sir_n as_o to_o this_o point_n of_o write_v of_o the_o late_a honourable_a mr._n robert_n boyle_n life_n i_o will_v give_v you_o the_o follow_a account_n some_o time_n before_o i_o know_v or_o hear_v of_o the_o publish_v your_o book_n i_o meet_v as_o i_o be_v pass_v through_o the_o temple_n with_o mr._n john_n warr_n who_o be_v steward_n to_o mr._n robert_n boil_v many_o year_n and_o so_o continue_v to_o mr._n boyle_n death_n and_o mr._n boyle_n have_v that_o esteem_n for_o he_o that_o he_o make_v he_o one_o of_o his_o executor_n in_o his_o last_o will_n after_o some_o discourse_n we_o have_v about_o mr._n boyle_n put_v 500_o l._n into_o benj._n hinton_n hand_n which_o be_v a_o loss_n to_o his_o estate_n to_o this_o day_n i_o ask_v mr._n warr_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n mr._n boyle_n life_n be_v not_o all_o this_o time_n publish_v to_o the_o world_n he_o give_v i_o this_o for_o answer_n that_o the_o bishop_n of_o salisbury_n and_o other_o i_o think_v he_o say_v and_o other_o but_o i_o be_o not_o certain_a i_o will_v keep_v to_o truth_n as_o near_o as_o in_o word_n i_o can_v have_v desire_v he_o to_o get_v material_n ready_a for_o that_o work_n but_o he_o say_v the_o labour_n be_v so_o great_a and_o his_o expectation_n of_o reward_n not_o considerable_a and_o also_o he_o have_v business_n of_o his_o own_o on_o his_o hand_n that_o he_o can_v not_o well_o spare_v his_o time_n for_o to_o do_v it_o and_o then_o also_o the_o fatigue_n will_v be_v great_a for_o that_o to_o do_v it_o well_o he_o must_v look_v over_o hundred_o of_o book_n paper_n and_o letter_n which_o he_o can_v not_o well_o spare_a time_n to_o do_v this_o be_v his_o excuse_n to_o i_o that_o mr._n boyl_n life_n be_v not_o to_o this_o day_n publish_v to_o the_o world_n now_o sir_n do_v you_o not_o think_v but_o if_o the_o bishop_n of_o salisbury_n have_v publish_v the_o life_n of_o mr._n boyle_n it_o will_v not_o have_v be_v very_o acceptable_a to_o the_o world_n especial_o he_o have_v make_v use_v of_o mr._n boyle_n steward_n for_o so_o many_o year_n to_o search_v book_n paper_n and_o letter_n which_o be_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o record_n in_o this_o affair_n of_o write_v life_n and_o who_o can_v be_v presume_v to_o know_v mr._n boyle_n private_a transaction_n better_a than_o he_o and_o mr._n boil_v himself_o demonstrate_v the_o esteem_n he_o have_v for_o he_o by_o make_v he_o one_o of_o his_o executor_n and_o therefore_o the_o world_n can_v not_o blame_v the_o bishop_n for_o use_v of_o he_o and_o trust_v to_o he_o in_o this_o affair_n of_o bring_v he_o material_n for_o so_o good_a a_o work_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o bishop_n will_v have_v very_o honourable_o reward_v mr._n warr_n for_o his_o great_a fatigue_n in_o this_o affair_n for_o i_o hear_v a_o very_a great_a character_n of_o the_o bishop_n generosity_n and_o also_o charity_n from_o one_o i_o presume_v shall_v know_v as_o well_o as_o any_o whatever_n i_o will_v give_v it_o you_o in_o his_o own_o word_n to_o i_o that_o the_o bishop_n be_v no_o covetous_a man_n no_o lover_n of_o money_n for_o say_v he_o if_o the_o bishop_n have_v 20000_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la he_o will_v dispose_v of_o it_o and_o give_v it_o away_o honourable_o and_o charitable_o i_o do_v not_o write_v this_o to_o flatter_v his_o lordship_n for_o i_o abhor_v and_o scorn_v flattery_n for_o i_o never_o have_v any_o other_o advantage_n or_o benefit_n from_o the_o bishop_n than_o what_o i_o have_v have_v in_o way_n of_o trade_n and_o the_o same_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v i_o may_v have_v have_v from_o you_o for_o i_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v you_o have_v be_v a_o familiar_a acquaintance_n of_o i_o by_o your_o quotation_n and_o sir_n i_o be_o of_o the_o opinion_n that_o when_o any_o man_n especial_o a_o peer_n of_o the_o realm_n be_v scandalize_v in_o his_o reputation_n it_o behoove_v all_o man_n to_o vidicate_v they_o and_o their_o reputation_n so_o far_o as_o truth_n be_v on_o their_o side_n although_o i_o be_o also_o of_o your_o opinion_n that_o if_o any_o man_n much_o more_o great_a man_n do_v ill_a and_o base_a action_n they_o ought_v to_o be_v tell_v of_o it_o and_o that_o public_o for_o it_o be_v no_o fault_n in_o the_o relator_n but_o the_o fault_n be_v he_o that_o do_v the_o ill_a action_n i_o remember_v i_o be_v at_o a_o coffeehouse_n and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v before_o this_o last_o revolution_n where_o i_o hear_v that_o most_o learned_a mr_n dodwel_n who_o indeed_o be_v a_o great_a example_n of_o heroic_a piety_n and_o virtue_n as_o you_o yourself_o own_o in_o the_o 53_o page_n of_o your_o book_n tell_v a_o learned_a knight_n well_o know_v in_o this_o nation_n i_o name_v he_o not_o because_o i_o will_v not_o give_v offence_n to_o any_o

will_v not_o believe_v you_o the_o knight_n answer_v again_o sir_n i_o be_o a_o gentleman_n why_o will_v you_o not_o believe_v i_o on_o my_o word_n no_o sir_n say_v mr._n dodwel_n i_o will_v not_o believe_v your_o word_n but_o i_o will_v believe_v your_o write_n for_o your_o book_n denote_v you_o a_o roman_n catholic_n so_o i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o your_o say_n no_o nor_o write_n that_o can_v make_v the_o bishop_n of_o salisbury_n a_o ill_a man_n but_o it_o must_v be_v his_o own_o write_n and_o work_v that_o must_v make_v he_o a_o ill_a or_o a_o good_a man_n let_v his_o lordship_n look_v to_o that_o i_o have_v tell_v matter_n of_o fact_n and_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o world_n to_o judge_v between_o the_o bishop_n and_o yourself_o it_o be_v you_o and_o not_o the_o bishop_n have_v call_v

that_o if_o the_o live_v of_o great_a and_o good_a man_n be_v write_v by_o their_o most_o intimate_a friend_n that_o be_v person_n of_o unblemished_a reputation_n that_o will_v not_o write_v their_o

intend_v to_o write_v and_o report_v matter_n of_o fact_n faithful_o it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a useful_a and_o acceptable_a work_n for_o example_n of_o heroic_a piety_n and_o virtue_n be_v more_o pleasant_a and_o prevalent_a with_o mankind_n than_o just_a precept_n and_o command_n and_o although_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n sir_n you_o assert_v in_o the_o 72_o page_n of_o your_o book_n that_o our_o hooker_n sanderson_n and_o hamomnd_n etc._n etc._n have_v assert_v the_o great_a truth_n of_o religion_n as_o zealous_o as_o his_o hero_n do_v but_o sir_n what_o need_v of_o these_o comparison_n and_o that_o in_o so_o much_o heat_n have_v we_o not_o also_o the_o usher_n the_o pearson_n which_o have_v do_v the_o like_a and_o we_o have_v the_o four_o first_o of_o these_o great_a and_o good_a man_n
