the_o matter_n indifference_n be_v like_a to_o have_v a_o better_a composure_n and_o my_o adversary_n be_v become_v my_o friend_n when_o i_o return_v to_o the_o kings-bench_n i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v my_o duty_n to_o return_v thanks_o and_o praise_n to_o god_n for_o his_o so_o great_a a_o mercy_n never_o to_o be_v forget_v the_o which_o i_o do_v in_o the_o manner_n as_o be_v hereunto_o annex_v which_o i_o hope_v god_n have_v accept_v of_o for_o since_o which_o time_n i_o begin_v to_o write_v these_o follow_a meditation_n which_o never_o before_o do_v dare_v to_o adventure_v on_o such_o subject_n but_o since_o i_o be_o never_o well_o nor_o at_o quiet_a with_o my_o soul_n but_o when_o i_o be_o about_o such_o exercise_n and_o i_o be_v so_o far_o from_o help_n as_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o i_o have_v to_o many_o hindrance_n i_o will_v not_o say_v to_o you_o that_o i_o present_v you_o with_o the_o fruit_n of_o idle_a hour_n but_o of_o the_o best_a hour_n that_o ever_o i_o spend_v for_o it_o have_v set_v more_o gladness_n in_o my_o heart_n than_o when_o the_o corn_n and_o wine_n and_o oil_n increase_v it_o may_v be_v that_o the_o reverend_a clergy_n will_v be_v offend_v with_o i_o for_o presume_v to_o take_v upon_o i_o to_o descant_v on_o scripture_n i_o humble_o beg_v their_o pardon_n yet_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v not_o abuse_v any_o text_n that_o i_o have_v insist_v on_o but_o keep_v close_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o without_o make_v any_o vain_a fiction_n and_o true_o i_o have_v scarce_o any_o book_n but_o the_o bible_n and_o i_o be_v without_o that_o too_o until_o i_o complain_v of_o it_o as_o one_o of_o my_o great_a want_n for_o my_o spiritual_a refreshment_n to_o a_o very_a good_a lady_n madam_n scawen_n who_o present_o send_v i_o a_o very_a good_a

thing_n to_o meditate_v on_o for_o my_o divertisement_n the_o which_o i_o hope_v they_o will_v charitable_o censure_v these_o weak_a exercise_n and_o accept_v they_o not_o as_o come_n from_o a_o college_n but_o a_o prison_n i_o have_v much_o hope_n of_o their_o favour_n for_o i_o have_v communicate_v some_o of_o these_o to_o several_a good_a divine_n from_o who_o i_o have_v have_v good_a encouragement_n which_o i_o shall_v ever_o most_o thankful_o acknowledge_v i_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v some_o that_o will_v tax_v i_o for_o too_o much_o boldness_n for_o come_v forth_o in_o print_n and_o condemn_v these_o as_o weak_a and_o indigested_a i_o be_o sensible_a enough_o of_o the_o weakness_n of_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o may_v save_v that_o labour_n but_o shall_v i_o be_v without_o reproof_n i_o shall_v fare_v much_o better_a than_o many_o far_o my_o better_n who_o can_v escape_v the_o tongue_n of_o such_o carp_n zoilus_n who_o have_v only_a wit_n to_o censure_v and_o not_o to_o amend_v and_o think_v nothing_o well_o do_v because_o they_o do_v it_o not_o yet_o will_v quarrel_v at_o the_o private_a divertisement_n of_o a_o poor_a prisoner_n shall_v i_o to_o add_v to_o the_o heat_n of_o their_o fiery_a tongue_n burn_v these_o paper_n or_o let_v they_o rot_v by_o i_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o will_v do_v less_o good_a than_o they_o will_v do_v now_o for_o though_o they_o want_v the_o rethorical_a strain_n of_o great_a learning_n yet_o they_o be_v the_o plain_a and_o harmless_a exercise_n of_o a_o old_a man_n a_o prisoner_n that_o may_v have_v the_o good_a hap_n to_o meet_v with_o more_o charitable_a and_o courteous_a person_n that_o will_v friendly_o accept_v they_o from_o a_o prisoner_n under_o so_o long_o and_o severe_a a_o calamity_n these_o boanerges_n or_o son_n of_o thunder_n i_o shall_v not_o court_n but_o leave_v they_o to_o their_o carp_a disposition_n but_o you_o who_o pious_a charity_n will_v be_v please_v to_o take_v this_o little_a babe_n into_o your_o hand_n and_o despise_v it_o not_o though_o bear_v in_o a_o prison_n it_o speak_v the_o language_n of_o the_o scripture_n i_o have_v some_o eminent_a predecessor_n and_o precedent_n even_o from_o prison_n and_o i_o hope_v i_o do_v show_v the_o duty_n and_o honour_n i_o have_v ever_o bear_v to_o the_o doctrine_n and_o discipline_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o which_o i_o be_v bear_v and_o bread_n and_o i_o have_v ever_o take_v it_o to_o be_v my_o duty_n to_o defend_v it_o even_o in_o the_o worst_a of_o time_n to_o my_o irreparable_a ruin_n as_o be_v too_o visible_a therefore_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v meet_v with_o more_o charitable_a humble_a and_o good_a disposition_n that_o will_v friendly_o accept_v of_o and_o charitable_o pass_v by_o a_o
