be_v to_o acquaint_v you_o with_o three_o or_o four_o thing_n before_o i_o come_v to_o the_o thing_n in_o hand_n first_o then_o it_o may_v perhaps_o seem_v strange_a to_o see_v a_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n come_v from_o i_o at_o this_o time_n the_o year_n be_v now_o half_o spend_v and_o indeed_o for_o that_o reason_n i_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o have_v write_v any_o thing_n this_o year_n my_o almanac_n for_o 1690_o except_v it_o be_v not_o my_o custom_n at_o this_o season_n to_o do_v it_o but_o find_v by_o report_n from_o divers_a of_o my_o acquaintance_n that_o there_o be_v a_o very_a ill_a use_n make_v of_o my_o silence_n not_o only_o by_o papist_n and_o tory_n but_o also_o by_o true_a honest_a englishman_n friend_n to_o the_o king_n and_o government_n who_o have_v report_v and_o believe_v because_o i_o have_v not_o write_v this_o year_n as_o i_o use_v to_o do_v that_o from_o thence_o they_o judge_v it_o be_v my_o opinion_n that_o the_o late_o abdicate_v king_n will_v return_v again_o to_o his_o former_a power_n and_o dignity_n in_o england_n therefore_o to_o undeceive_v they_o and_o let_v the_o world_n know_v it_o be_v not_o my_o opinion_n nor_o any_o thing_n like_o it_o i_o have_v publish_v these_o few_o sheet_n follow_v second_o i_o have_v often_o be_v ask_v by_o my_o friend_n since_o my_o return_n to_o england_n if_o i_o have_v write_v any_o thing_n prophecy_n be_v cry_v about_o the_o city_n and_o country_n in_o my_o name_n and_o many_o of_o they_o buy_v and_o indeed_o i_o have_v hear_v they_o cry_v myself_o this_o therefore_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o ance_n for_o all_o that_o i_o never_o do_v write_v any_o thing_n by_o the_o name_n of_o prophecy_n nor_o never_o will_v and_o therefore_o you_o may_v be_v sure_a if_o any_o such_o thing_n shall_v be_v publish_v at_o any_o time_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o prophecy_n or_o any_o other_o title_n in_o a_o single_a sheet_n in_o my_o name_n it_o be_v not_o i_o but_o a_o abuse_n upon_o i_o and_o a_o cheat_n upon_o you_o do_v and_o manage_v by_o some_o of_o the_o little_a people_n that_o cheat_n by_o retail_n three_o perhaps_o it_o may_v seem_v a_o little_a rough_a and_o hard_a to_o some_o modest_a reader_n when_o they_o hear_v or_o consider_v what_o i_o have_v say_v of_o john_n gadbury_n especial_o he_o and_o i_o have_v be_v very_o intimate_v former_o and_o he_o one_o that_o pretend_v to_o have_v be_v my_o tutor_n in_o these_o study_n it_o be_v true_a the_o man_n be_v civil_a to_o i_o when_o i_o begin_v to_o study_v but_o i_o own_v no_o master_n but_o dr._n francis_n wright_n but_o to_o undeceive_v the_o reader_n i_o must_v give_v a_o short_a account_n of_o the_o affair_n betwixt_o he_o and_o i._n we_o first_o come_v acquaint_v in_o 1665_o and_o from_o thence_o as_o often_o as_o we_o have_v opportunity_n we_o continue_v it_o in_o the_o usual_a way_n of_o conversation_n and_o fellowship_n till_o the_o year_n 1680_o at_o which_o time_n he_o take_v occasion_n to_o differ_v with_o i_o about_o popery_n and_o then_o we_o begin_v to_o be_v strange_a one_o to_o the_o other_o till_o i_o leave_v england_n in_o 1685_o and_o from_o our_o first_o acquaintance_n to_o that_o time_n i_o can_v speak_v it_o with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n that_o i_o never_o let_v fall_v a_o unseemly_a word_n concern_v he_o in_o any_o company_n for_o i_o have_v a_o respect_n for_o the_o man_n because_o of_o our_o long_a acquaintance_n neither_o be_v i_o willing_a to_o give_v any_o ground_n for_o a_o quarrel_n but_o in_o the_o year_n 1687_o about_o the_o time_n that_o he_o go_v to_o mass_n open_o and_o declare_v himself_o a_o papist_n he_o write_v a_o book_n against_o i_o which_o he_o call_v a_o reply_n print_v by_o nat._n thompson_n in_o which_o treatise_n he_o abuse_v i_o in_o such_o undecent_a and_o ungentile_a expression_n that_o it_o will_v have_v be_v a_o scandal_n for_o any_o one_o to_o have_v use_v they_o at_o billingsgate_n itself_o rogue_n rascal_n traitor_n villain_n and_o renegado_n be_v the_o subject_a of_o his_o book_n and_o the_o lively_a touch_v of_o his_o pen_n and_o all_o this_o without_o any_o cause_n or_o occasion_n give_v to_o he_o on_o my_o side_n and_o i_o challenge_v he_o to_o tell_v the_o world_n if_o he_o can_v when_o or_o where_o i_o ever_o give_v he_o the_o least_o occasion_n imaginable_a for_o it_o so_o that_o now_o i_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o world_n to_o judge_n between_o we_o and_o whether_o i_o be_o not_o just_o provoke_v to_o do_v what_o i_o have_v and_o shall_v do_v for_o i_o do_v assure_v you_o i_o take_v no_o delight_n in_o controversy_n of_o this_o nature_n neither_o be_v it_o a_o peevish_a passionate_a humour_n that_o move_v i_o but_o real_o to_o show_v the_o world_n how_o unjust_a and_o unsteady_a a_o man_n he_o be_v in_o his_o moral_n and_o divine_a thing_n that_o have_v abuse_v i_o and_o also_o how_o ignorant_a he_o be_v in_o his_o profession_n his_o principal_a skill_n and_o art_n be_v his_o cant_n and_o hypocrisy_n but_o let_v i_o tell_v he_o that_o this_o be_v but_o the_o begin_n of_o our_o difference_n four_o i_o find_v some_o peevish_a people_n be_v apt_a to_o exclaim_v against_o astrology_n because_o the_o late_a king_n do_v not_o die_v in_o october_n or_o november_n 1688_o pretend_v that_o i_o have_v say_v in_o print_n he_o will_v then_o die_v but_o i_o will_v very_o fain_o have_v they_o show_v it_o to_o i_o where_o i_o have_v so_o say_v indeed_o i_o do_v think_v he_o will_v have_v die_v and_o yet_o his_o not_o die_v be_v no_o injury_n to_o astrology_n unless_o among_o those_o that_o be_v malicious_a and_o something_o worse_a however_o i_o shall_v say_v but_o two_o thing_n in_o the_o case_n 1._o to_o those_o that_o understand_v astrology_n or_o pretend_v to_o it_o for_o i_o hear_v a_o double-sighted_n man_n have_v talk_v more_o than_o come_v to_o his_o share_n what_o i_o predict_v be_v full_o verify_v for_o it_o happen_v within_o a_o month_n of_o the_o time_n mention_v and_o now_o the_o thing_n be_v over_o i_o will_v defy_v they_o to_o give_v any_o reason_n for_o it_o that_o shall_v have_v the_o same_o effect_n in_o another_o nativity_n or_o something_o like_o it_o let_v they_o outdo_v it_o if_o they_o can_v 2._o to_o those_o that_o know_v nothing_o of_o astrology_n there_o be_v no_o blame_n to_o be_v lay_v on_o the_o art_n nor_o indeed_o i_o can_v see_v how_o they_o can_v blame_v i_o for_o the_o effect_n be_v so_o like_a death_n that_o it_o do_v as_o well_o for_o the_o deliverance_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o i_o hope_v they_o can_v say_v but_o it_o happen_v at_o the_o same_o time_n i_o have_v predict_v it_o too_o it_o be_v indeed_o a_o civil_a death_n and_o to_o he_o i_o think_v worse_o than_o death_n however_o there_o be_v some_o that_o will_v have_v quarrel_v with_o it_o too_o if_o he_o have_v then_o die_v at_o the_o time_n exact_o and_o say_v it_o be_v
