be_v at_o dublin_n in_o the_o month_n of_o march_n ann._n dom._n 1684._o where_o with_o weep_a ireland_n i_o take_v my_o leave_n of_o the_o great_a and_o good_a duke_n of_o ormond_n i_o be_v according_a as_o usual_o when_o there_o invite_v to_o preach_v before_o the_o state_n at_o christ-church_n and_o have_v in_o that_o short_a stay_n of_o the_o few_o day_n i_o have_v make_v there_o meet_v with_o divers_a book_n some_o even_n in_o english_a which_o fall_v foul_a upon_o the_o holy_a scripture_n especial_o upon_o the_o present_a original_a of_o the_o old_a testament_n together_o with_o all_o translation_n that_o close_o follow_v it_o as_o our_o english_a translation_n for_o the_o most_o part_n do_v and_o observe_v some_o man_n take_v part_n with_o these_o writer_n admire_v

have_v and_o read_v scripture_n in_o vulgar_a language_n i_o think_v i_o can_v not_o by_o any_o one_o sermon_n do_v a_o more_o seasonable_a service_n to_o our_o church_n and_o indeed_o to_o the_o
