error_n that_o he_o be_v under_o no_o temptation_n etc._n etc._n there_o be_v two_o thing_n more_o which_o i_o must_v not_o pass_v over_o without_o some_o reflection_n on_o they_o before_o i_o

there_o need_v nothing_o more_o to_o discover_v the_o malice_n of_o this_o story_n than_o in_o a_o few_o word_n to_o let_v the_o world_n know_v that_o the_o widow_n of_o the_o say_v mr._n st._n be_v

if_o the_o public_a register_n of_o the_o university_n may_v be_v trust_v but_o what_o will_v not_o some_o man_n if_o it_o may_v any_o way_n contribute_v to_o the_o credit_n of_o the_o cause_n and_o

that_o it_o be_v speak_v at_o random_n yea_o and_o against_o pretty_a good_a evidence_n to_o the_o contrary_n be_v this_o consistent_a with_o the_o forgery_n of_o the_o forementioned_a certificate_n beside_o how_o can_v any_o one_o know_v another_o man_n humility_n of_o spirit_n what_o man_n know_v the_o thing_n of_o a_o man_n save_v the_o spirit_n of_o man_n which_o be_v in_o he_o 1_o cor._n 2._o 11._o and_o although_o we_o may_v make_v charitable_a conjecture_n of_o man_n inward_a disposition_n from_o their_o outward_a deportment_n yet_o in_o the_o case_n of_o mr._n p._n there_o be_v

on_o be_v that_o mr._n p._n just_a between_o his_o ordination_n and_o examination_n when_o the_o classis_fw-la inquire_v into_o his_o gracious_a qualification_n in_o which_o it_o be_v say_v he_o

of_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o eight_o commandment_n he_o have_v entice_v the_o woman_n unto_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o five_o and_o engage_v a_o young_a man_n by_o marry_v they_o to_o be_v a_o

beyond_o truth_n which_o i_o can_v allow_v of_o thus_o the_o remarker_n style_v mr._n baxter_n great_a but_o if_o truth_n may_v be_v speak_v though_o he_o make_v himself_o great_a and_o busy_a yet_o he_o be_v but_o a_o very_a little_a man_n however_o far_o from_o true_o deserve_v that_o character_n if_o to_o value_n and_o commend_v a_o man_n self_n to_o write_v the_o minute_n of_o his_o own_o

the_o minute_n of_o his_o own_o life_n if_o such_o a_o man_n can_v merit_v the_o title_n of_o great_a then_o be_v it_o just_o give_v to_o mr._n baxter_n if_o to_o raise_v one_o own_a reputation_n
