mr._n p._n may_v mention_v this_o again_o after_o he_o sit_v down_o though_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v it_o moreover_o after_o this_o first_o sit_v down_o the_o doctor_n add_v two_o of_o his_o

the_o matter_n of_o fact_n be_v clear_v as_o above_o it_o become_v more_o evident_a how_o much_o dr._n tenison_n dissemble_v when_o instead_o of_o prove_v his_o bible_n to_o be_v true_a scripture_n

which_o be_v so_o i_o leave_v my_o reader_n to_o judge_n whether_o either_o of_o these_o question_n be_v not_o much_o more_o to_o the_o purpose_n than_o that_o which_o the_o dr._n set_v up_o indeed_o it_o be_v so_o little_a to_o our_o controversy_n whether_o that_o book_n be_v true_o st._n ambrose_n or_o not_o that_o i_o wonder_v that_o a_o grave_a man_n shall_v forget_v himself_o so_o much_o as_o to_o lay_v any_o stress_n on_o it_o when_o other_o proof_n be_v offer_v full_a as_o plain_a and_o out_o of_o writer_n of_o as_o great_a authority_n as_o st._n ambrose_n and_o even_o when_o there_o

that_o it_o be_v improbable_a this_o author_n will_v use_v the_o same_o word_n and_o phrase_n in_o two_o distinct_a book_n which_o if_o a_o good_a argument_n against_o the_o authority_n of_o that_o

propose_v by_o dr._n t._n as_o a_o answer_n to_o those_o question_n now_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o
must_v confess_v that_o oftentimes_o i_o think_v it_o much_o easy_a to_o return_v a_o book_n to_o a_o question_n than_o a_o answer_n my_o meaning_n be_v that_o when_o a_o difficulty_n pinch_v it_o be_v much_o easy_a by_o long_a and_o crafty_a circumlocution_n to_o deceive_v than_o by_o a_o short_a and_o plain_a answer_n to_o satisfy_v the_o first_o may_v be_v do_v by_o book_n but_o it_o be_v only_a brevity_n and_o plainness_n which_o can_v appear_v well_o in_o a_o personal_a conference_n wherefore_o to_o appeal_v from_o such_o a_o conference_n to_o book_n be_v most_o common_o to_o love_v darkness_n rather_o than_o light_n and_o by_o enter_v into_o a_o labyrinth_n of_o word_n rather_o to_o lose_v a_o objection_n than_o to_o solve_v it_o it_o have_v happen_v to_o i_o several_a time_n that_o when_o i_o have_v offer_v any_o difficult_a point_n to_o some_o disputant_n they_o have_v tell_v i_o for_o answer_n that_o the_o matter_n be_v handle_v in_o such_o a_o book_n and_o that_o there_o i_o shall_v find_v my_o satisfaction_n i_o have_v reply_v that_o the_o difficulty_n lie_v within_o a_o narrow_a compass_n that_o the_o solution_n need_v not_o to_o be_v very_o long_o that_o therefore_o i_o desire_v they_o will_v tell_v i_o what_o the_o book_n say_v of_o it_o all_o the_o answer_v i_o can_v have_v be_v that_o they_o have_v forget_v the_o particular_n that_o the_o book_n satisfy_v they_o when_o they_o read_v and_o they_o suppose_v that_o it_o will_v have_v the_o same_o effect_n on_o i_o which_o i_o have_v take_v for_o a_o evident_a sign_n that_o they_o have_v be_v delude_v and_o not_o instruct_v by_o their_o author_n since_o have_v they_o meet_v with_o a_o concise_a and_o solid_a proof_n instead_o of_o a_o protract_a and_o noisy_a fallacy_n it_o will_v have_v be_v hardly_o possible_a for_o they_o not_o to_o have_v bear_v it_o away_o especial_o when_o they_o have_v neither_o ill_a wit_n nor_o ill_a memory_n wherefore_o i_o take_v leave_n to_o dissent_v from_o the_o doctor_n where_o he_o look_v on_o it_o as_o a_o piece_n of_o 56._o of_o pag._n 56._o ill_a breed_n to_o ask_v question_n in_o a_o conference_n which_o as_o he_o think_v be_v already_o

far_o as_o it_o may_v be_v whether_o the_o book_n have_v say_v right_a or_o not_o wherefore_o to_o refer_v we_o to_o they_o for_o apostle_n for_o certain_o that_o cause_n which_o the_o dr._n refer_v to_o 10000_o pound_n worth_a of_o book_n be_v as_o safe_a as_o the_o felon_n will_v have_v be_v have_v his_o request_n be_v grant_v of_o be_v try_v by_o the_o 12_o apostle_n answer_n be_v to_o send_v
