in_o the_o name_n of_o a_o number_n of_o pious_a soul_n that_o you_o will_v tell_v we_o where_o these_o man_n live_v and_o what_o be_v their_o name_n for_o they_o be_v devil_n it_o seem_v who_o walk_v up_o and_o down_o in_o the_o shape_n of_o saint_n and_o therefore_o again_o i_o beseech_v you_o if_o you_o have_v any_o compassion_n in_o you_o let_v we_o know_v where_o they_o haunt_v and_o who_o they_o be_v lest_o they_o draw_v we_o to_o hell_n with_o they_o persuade_v we_o all_o the_o while_o we_o be_v safe_a and_o in_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n which_o i_o also_o beg_v of_o you_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o your_o brethren_n of_o the_o clergy_n who_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o say_v any_o thing_n against_o the_o enemy_n of_o our_o religion_n but_o present_o the_o name_n of_o socinian_o and_o pelagian_o shall_v be_v cast_v in_o their_o tooth_n and_o a_o sermon_n of_o mr._n j._n standish_n before_o the_o king_n shall_v be_v their_o voucher_n for_o while_o you_o leave_v it_o uncertain_a who_o they_o be_v any_o body_n as_o i_o say_v may_v be_v draw_v within_o your_o charge_n and_o malice_n and_o ill_a nature_n will_v be_v sure_a to_o fix_v your_o character_n on_o those_o who_o shall_v most_o zealous_o oppose_v their_o frenzy_n this_o be_v no_o vain_a surmise_n for_o to_o my_o knowledge_n there_o be_v those_o who_o do_v god_n and_o his_o church_n much_o service_n on_o who_o some_o fasten_v this_o suspicion_n though_o they_o be_v as_o far_o from_o any_o such_o heresy_n as_o mr._n j._n standish_n himself_o you_o have_v gratify_v those_o at_o a_o very_a high_a rate_n who_o wish_v our_o destruction_n for_o they_o be_v the_o man_n that_o cry_v up_o your_o sermon_n be_v extreme_a glad_a to_o hear_v so_o much_o ill_o of_o we_o not_o the_o child_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n i_o be_o sure_a all_o that_o i_o have_v meet_v withal_o in_o our_o part_n be_v sorry_a to_o see_v you_o do_v the_o work_n of_o our_o enemy_n who_o art_n it_o have_v still_o be_v as_o they_o learn_v from_o our_o great_a archbishop_n in_o his_o book_n again_o fisher_n to_o blast_v their_o opposer_n with_o the_o name_n of_o heretic_n for_o this_o serve_v to_o shriule_n the_o credit_n of_o the_o person_n and_o the_o person_n once_o bring_v into_o contempt_n and_o ignominy_n all_o the_o good_a they_o desire_v in_o the_o church_n fall_v to_o dust_n for_o want_v of_o creditable_a person_n to_o back_n and_o support_v it_o speak_v out_o therefore_o good_a sir_n i_o again_o most_o earnest_o entreat_v you_o let_v not_o the_o credit_n of_o any_o person_n be_v blast_v by_o your_o mean_n leave_v not_o ignorance_n and_o malice_n any_o long_o to_o their_o guess_n who_o the_o man_n be_v you_o intend_v but_o tell_v their_o name_n plain_o fix_v your_o character_n upon_o the_o very_a

they_o have_v to_o do_v good_a i_o know_v not_o by_o what_o rule_v you_o judge_v of_o yourself_o but_o i_o shall_v not_o take_v myself_o any_o long_a to_o be_v a_o lover_n of_o god_n of_o my_o brethren_n and_o of_o the_o church_n if_o i_o be_v in_o your_o case_n and_o do_v not_o answer_v these_o reasonable_a desire_n you_o can_v do_v it_o far_o more_o easy_o sure_a than_o you_o compose_v your_o sermon_n the_o man_n name_n i_o shall_v think_v be_v at_o your_o finger_n end_n since_o you_o be_v so_o well_o acquaint_v even_o with_o their_o close_a hypocrisy_n therefore_o by_o the_o next_o return_n of_o the_o carrier_n after_o this_o be_v come_v to_o your_o hand_n they_o at_o london_n may_v expect_v to_o hear_v that_o you_o have_v send_v to_o the_o press_n a_o list_n of_o those_o man_n who_o you_o suspect_v at_o least_o believe_v no_o trinity_n but_o reason_n reason_n reason_n and_o who_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o supernatural_a grace_n and_o that_o every_o man_n must_v be_v his_o own_o saviour_n and_o if_o you_o please_v oblige_v we_o so_o far_o as_o to_o tell_v we_o by_o the_o way_n why_o you_o scorn_v reason_n so_o much_o which_o distinguish_v you_o from_o a_o beast_n and_o have_v make_v you_o choose_v i_o hope_v to_o be_v a_o christian_n for_o what_o be_v it_o that_o lead_v you_o to_o the_o belief_n of_o christianity_n do_v you_o owe_v it_o only_o to_o your_o

the_o great_a reason_n or_o in_o your_o phrase_n reason_n reason_n reason_n for_o it_o because_o god_n have_v reveal_v himself_o in_o this_o manner_n and_o the_o church_n have_v always_o thus_o understand_v he_o and_o next_o to_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n we_o reverence_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n who_o do_v you_o gratify_v by_o decry_v reason_n need_v you_o be_v remember_v who_o they_o be_v that_o pretend_v the_o spirit_n against_o all_o your_o learning_n and_o will_v have_v pull_v down_o the_o place_n wherein_o you_o acquire_v it_o what_o great_a advantage_n can_v they_o have_v desire_v then_o some_o such_o champion_n as_o you_o to_o have_v join_v with_o they_o in_o kick_v reason_n out_o of_o door_n and_o then_o they_o have_v soon_o throw_v you_o all_o out_o together_o with_o it_o but_o i_o be_o ashamed_a to_o say_v any_o more_o of_o this_o i_o believe_v you_o be_v able_a to_o give_v a_o good_a reason_n for_o any_o thing_n unless_o it_o be_v of_o this_o why_o you_o think_v or_o fear_v there_o be_v such_o man_n among_o we_o as_o you_o have_v describe_v why_o you_o say_v it_o many_o guess_v the_o reason_n but_o what_o reason_n you_o have_v to_o

down_o with_o they_o out_o of_o the_o pulpit_n even_o to_o the_o ground_n but_o if_o you_o stop_v your_o ear_n and_o will_v not_o vouchsafe_v to_o hear_v or_o regard_v these_o earnest_a petition_n
