the_o like_a in_o my_o answer_n hereunto_o i_o shall_v direct_v my_o speech_n unto_o two_o sort_n of_o people_n first_o unto_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o people_n i_o do_v hear_v and_o believe_v it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o ordinary_a sort_n of_o people_n in_o all_o country_n and_o town_n whither_o these_o poor_a creature_n come_v do_v abuse_v they_o very_o much_o and_o beat_v they_o and_o

of_o they_o see_v they_o come_v to_o place_n in_o a_o peaceable_a manner_n pretend_v they_o come_v for_o the_o people_n good_a and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v great_a inhumanity_n to_o use_v any_o people_n so_o uncivil_o that_o come_v so_o civil_o and_o withal_o they_o speak_v nothing_o in_o that_o nature_n but_o what_o their_o hearer_n themselves_o must_v confess_v to_o be_v true_a reprove_v

understanding_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o reason_n with_o they_o and_o to_o prove_v they_o fair_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o such_o rule_n as_o i_o have_v here_o give_v you_o in_o my_o book_n to_o be_v those_o deluder_n and_o delude_a people_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n and_o upon_o that_o account_n neither_o to_o own_v they_o

shall_v stick_v up_o close_o and_o unanimous_o to_o this_o way_n you_o will_v find_v the_o devil_n a_o very_a coward_n according_a to_o that_o word_n of_o st_n james_n resist_v the_o devil_n and_o he_o will_v fly_v from_o but_o if_o any_o of_o you_o shall_v say_v that_o you_o be_v not_o able_a to_o deal_v with_o they_o in_o this_o nature_n they_o be_v too_o full_a of_o knowledge_n and_o you_o be_v not_o so_o well_o acquaint_v with_o the_o scripture_n as_o they_o etc._n etc._n i_o fear_v it_o be_v too_o true_a as_o you_o say_v but_o be_v not_o the_o fault_n your_o own_o hive_n not_o you_o
