among_o man_n be_v they_o never_o so_o false_a there_o be_v some_o that_o believe_v they_o especial_o where_o the_o party_n concern_v stir_v not_o in_o vindication_n of_o himself_o these_o and_o the_o

that_o from_o his_o own_o say_n it_o may_v be_v conclude_v be_v his_o report_n never_o so_o false_a they_o will_v seem_v fair_a and_o honest_a and_o be_v believe_v for_o truth_n by_o some_o whilst_o carleton_n and_o the_o arbitrator_n say_v nothing_o for_o themselves_o and_o no_o doubt_n many_o such_o his_o book_n may_v meet_v with_o in_o the_o world_n as_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o give_v judgement_n before_o they_o hear_v both_o party_n but_o the_o quaker_n do_v not_o deceive_v he_o for_o it_o be_v his_o own_o false_a heart_n and_o lean_v to_o lie_n for_o refuge_n and_o for_o his_o great_a transgression_n against_o god_n that_o he_o be_v delude_v and_o decieve_v and_o fall_v into_o great_a and_o fore_a temptation_n if_o we_o may_v believe_v his_o own_o report_n of_o himself_o and_o what_o he_o have_v write_v with_o his_o own_o hand_n in_o the_o first_o page_n of_o a_o book_n he_o write_v against_o his_o own_o wife_n about_o 7_o or_o 8_o year_n before_o this_o arbitration_n be_v so_o what_o can_v we_o expect_v when_o he_o can_v conceal_v the_o infirmity_n of_o his_o own_o flesh_n but_o write_v book_n yea_o black_a book_n as_o he_o call_v they_o against_o his_o own_o wife_n and_o spread_v they_o abroad_o and_o to_o my_o knowledge_n it_o have_v be_v his_o practice_n for_o many_o year_n to_o write_v libel_n and_o scandalous_a scroll_n against_o divers_a man_n he_o have_v have_v to_o do_v with_o which_o he_o dare_v not_o publish_v in_o print_n as_o he_o do_v the_o quaker_n but_o like_o a_o serpent_n in_o the_o dark_a will_v impeach_v other_o man_n honesty_n and_o advance_v his_o own_o but_o such_o black_a dark_a book_n and_o scroll_n must_v needs_o proceed_v out_o of_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n where_o all_o such_o thing_n be_v hatch_v but_o to_o come_v to_o my_o purpose_n that_o be_v to_o answer_v to_o his_o high_a charge_n and_o to_o give_v a_o little_a more_o light_a and_o understanding_n to_o the_o unbiased_a reader_n that_o he_o may_v not_o err_v in_o judgement_n by_o believe_v all_o w._n w._n have_v put_v in_o print_n for_o i_o remember_v it_o be_v say_v of_o old_a he_o that_o be_v first_o in_o his_o own_o cause_n seem_v just_a but_o his_o neighbour_n come_v and_o serch_v he_o out_o page_z the_o four_o he_o say_v god_n defend_v that_o he_o shall_v either_o witting_o or_o willing_o write_v one_o word_n but_o what_o shall_v be_v real_a truth_n so_o if_o the_o reader_n will_v take_v his_o serious_a assertion_n for_o truth_n he_o may_v be_v deceive_v for_o i_o be_o able_a the_o truth_n be_v on_o my_o side_n to_o make_v it_o
