in_o his_o conversation_n his_o discourse_n be_v common_o of_o useful_a thing_n it_o never_o cause_v trouble_n or_o weariness_n to_o the_o hearer_n yet_o he_o will_v venture_v to_o displease_v one_o for_o his_o good_a and_o indeed_o he_o be_v the_o man_n that_o ever_o i_o know_v for_o that_o most_o needful_a and_o least_o practise_a point_n of_o friendship_n he_o will_v not_o spare_v to_o give_v seasonable_a reproof_n and_o wholesome_a advice_n when_o he_o see_v occasion_n i_o never_o know_v any_o that_o will_v do_v it_o so_o free_o and_o that_o know_v how_o to_o manage_v that_o freedom_n of_o speech_n so_o inoffensive_o it_o be_v his_o way_n of_o friendship_n not_o so_o much_o to_o oblige_v man_n as_o to_o do_v they_o good_a he_o do_v this_o not_o slight_o and_o superficial_o but_o like_o one_o that_o make_v it_o his_o business_n he_o dare_v do_v for_o his_o friend_n any_o thing_n that_o be_v honest_a and_o no_o more_o he_o will_v undertake_v nothing_o but_o what_o well_o become_v he_o and_o then_o he_o be_v unwearied_a till_o he_o have_v effect_v it_o as_o he_o concern_v himself_o for_o his_o friend_n in_o all_o other_o respect_n so_o especial_o in_o that_o which_o

frivolous_a report_n but_o that_o which_o seem_v to_o have_v any_o weight_n in_o it_o as_o far_o as_o i_o have_v observe_v be_v that_o he_o have_v not_o that_o zeal_n for_o the_o church_n that_o they_o will_v seem_v to_o have_v that_o object_n this_o he_o seem_v to_o look_v upon_o the_o dissenter_n with_o too_o much_o favour_n to_o their_o person_n and_o way_n as_o to_o the_o person_n no_o

to_o any_o might_n and_o ought_v to_o extend_v itself_o to_o they_o among_o other_o but_o beside_o he_o be_v incline_v to_o it_o by_o his_o education_n under_o his_o grandfather_n mr._n dod_n a_o true_o pious_a &_o learned_a man_n who_o yet_o be_v a_o dissenter_n himself_o in_o some_o thing_n not_o that_o he_o have_v any_o delight_n in_o contradiction_n or_o can_v find_v in_o his_o heart_n to_o disturb_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n for_o those_o matter_n he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o it_o that_o as_o i_o have_v frequent_o hear_v from_o this_o his_o grandchild_n and_o other_o when_o some_o think_v their_o dissent_n ground_n enough_o for_o a_o war_n he_o declare_v himself_o against_o it_o and_o confirm_v other_o in_o their_o allegiance_n he_o profess_v to_o the_o last_o a_o just_a hatred_n of_o that_o horrid_a rebellion_n now_o his_o relation_n to_o this_o man_n and_o conversation_n with_o those_o of_o his_o principle_n may_v incline_v he_o to_o hope_v the_o like_a of_o other_o of_o that_o way_n and_o when_o he_o find_v they_o far_o off_o from_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n he_o may_v possible_o overdo_v through_o the_o vehemence_n of_o his_o desire_n to_o bring_v they_o off_o of_o their_o prejudices_fw-la and_o to_o reduce_v they_o to_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n in_o which_o his_o grandfather_n live_v and_o die_v why_o may_v he_o not_o hope_v the_o same_o of_o other_o dissenter_n as_o for_o himself_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o approve_v their_o way_n that_o in_o the_o worst_a of_o time_n when_o one_o here_o present_a bewail_v to_o he_o the_o

and_o many_o other_o by_o a_o interest_n that_o he_o have_v gain_v and_o make_v use_v of_o chief_o for_o such_o purpose_n how_o he_o demean_v himself_o then_o be_v know_v in_o both_o university_n
