but_o what_o if_o that_o report_n belie_v his_o grace_n this_o be_v no_o such_o strange_a thing_n in_o these_o time_n for_o i_o think_v it_o be_v out_o of_o doubt_n whether_o this_o government_n

know_v not_o and_o therefore_o must_v leave_v it_o to_o his_o grace_n to_o own_o or_o disow_v it_o according_a to_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o matter_n as_o he_o shall_v see_v cause_n and_o if_o he_o own_v it_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o he_o will_v give_v very_o good_a reason_n for_o what_o he_o do_v but_o if_o i_o may_v be_v allow_v to_o speak_v my_o own_o thought_n i_o humble_o conceive_v that_o one_o great_a reason_n which_o may_v make_v our_o bishop_n under_o a_o lay-suspension_a more_o averse_a to_o petition_v be_v that_o whether_o such_o petition_n be_v grant_v or_o not_o it_o will_v certain_o redound_v to_o their_o harm_n but_o can_v do_v they_o no_o good_a for_o if_o they_o be_v deny_v it_o will_v expose_v the_o government_n and_o consequent_o more_o incense_n it_o against_o they_o but_o if_o they_o be_v grant_v it_o will_v entangle_v they_o in_o fresh_a difficulty_n and_o run_v they_o into_o great_a danger_n for_o it_o will_v have_v be_v expect_v that_o then_o they_o shall_v not_o only_o have_v approve_v the_o prayer_n which_o be_v issue_v out_o during_o their_o suspension_n but_o also_o shall_v tame_o have_v go_v along_o with_o all_o order_n that_o come_v to_o they_o and_o perhaps_o they_o can_v as_o ill_o do_v this_o as_o take_v the_o oath_n yet_o if_o they_o have_v not_o do_v it_o there_o can_v be_v no_o doubt_n but_o they_o will_v have_v be_v more_o severe_o prosecute_v than_o ever_o and_o thus_o may_v have_v bring_v not_o only_o their_o estate_n but_o their_o life_n in_o danger_n now_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a case_n that_o you_o can_v suffer_v good_a man_n to_o act_v with_o common_a prudence_n but_o there_o be_v some_o man_n be_v very_o angry_a that_o they_o can_v make_v they_o act_v like_o madman_n for_o no_o other_o reason_n but_o that_o they_o will_v have_v they_o precipitate_v themselves_o into_o destruction_n but_o you_o may_v have_v forbear_v to_o tell_v these_o story_n see_v they_o do_v your_o cause_n no_o good_a but_o hurt_n for_o the_o less_o they_o regard_v your_o government_n the_o more_o strong_o they_o assert_v their_o own_o authority_n do_v not_o they_o affirm_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o canonical_a bishop_n be_v
