say_v as_o much_o as_o i_o think_v fit_a and_o therefore_o i_o hope_v more_o than_o upon_o your_o single_a account_n be_v necessary_a to_o manifest_v that_o physeophilus_n have_v no_o just_a cause_n to_o undervalue_v the_o study_n of_o divinity_n nor_o our_o friend_n the_o doctor_n for_o addict_v himself_o to_o it_o i_o hope_v you_o have_v not_o forget_v what_o i_o express_o enough_o declare_v at_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o letter_n that_o both_o your_o friend_n and_o you_o admit_v the_o holy_a scripture_n i_o know_v myself_o thereby_o to_o be_v warrant_v to_o draw_v proof_n from_o their_o

discourse_v but_o that_o if_o i_o have_v be_v to_o argue_v with_o atheist_n or_o sceptic_n i_o shall_v have_v forbear_v to_o make_v use_n of_o divers_a of_o the_o argument_n i_o have_v employ_v as_o fetch_v from_o unconcede_v topic_n and_o substitute_v other_o for_o such_o as_o yet_o i_o think_v it_o very_o allowable_a for_o i_o to_o urge_v when_o i_o deal_v with_o a_o person_n that_o as_o your_o friend_n do_v only_o undervalue_v the_o study_n of_o the_o scripture_n not_o reject_v their_o authority_n and_o if_o the_o prolixity_n i_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o already_o do_v forbid_v i_o to_o increase_v it_o by_o apology_n not_o absolute_o necessary_a i_o shall_v perchance_o rather_o think_v myself_o oblige_v to_o excuse_v the_o plainness_n of_o the_o style_n of_o this_o discourse_n which_o both_o upon_o the_o subject_n score_n and_o you_o may_v seem_v to_o challenge_v a_o rich_a dress_n but_o the_o matter_n be_v very_o serious_a and_o you_o be_v a_o philosopher_n and_o when_o the_o thing_n we_o treat_v of_o be_v high_o important_a i_o think_v truth_n clear_o make_v out_o to_o be_v the_o most_o persuasive_a piece_n of_o oratory_n and_o a_o discourse_n of_o this_o nature_n

may_v very_o short_o have_v occasion_n to_o employ_v some_o of_o the_o former_a sort_n in_o another_o letter_n to_o a_o friend_n of_o you_o and_o i_o who_o will_v i_o doubt_v make_v you_o a_o sharer_n in_o the_o trouble_n of_o read_v it_o but_o write_v this_o for_o you_o and_o physeophilus_n i_o be_v far_o more_o solicitous_a to_o give_v the_o argument_n i_o employ_v a_o good_a temper_n than_o a_o
