than_o a_o lord_n this_o last_o week_n and_o i_o be_o not_o to_o seek_v to_o understand_v why_o just_a at_o this_o nick_n of_o time_n i_o mean_v within_o this_o week_n or_o fortnight_n there_o be_v such_o strenuous_a but_o secret_a endeavour_n use_v by_o these_o man_n to_o make_v i_o all_o that_o be_v naught_o to_o our_o governors_n it_o may_v be_v expect_v i_o shall_v here_o clear_v myself_o of_o discourage_v my_o churchwarden_n from_o present_v dissenter_n which_o they_o make_v a_o article_n of_o but_o i_o need_v to_o say_v no_o more_o than_o this_o to_o it_o that_o as_o they_o can_v make_v nothing_o like_o a_o proof_n of_o it_o in_o the_o court_n so_o the_o contrary_n appear_v there_o by_o the_o deposition_n of_o the_o principal_a of_o their_o own_o witness_n and_o i_o have_v full_a evidence_n ready_a to_o prove_v that_o i_o only_o charge_v they_o to_o present_v impartial_o and_o not_o to_o gratify_v any_o one_o revengeful_a pique_n but_o it_o be_v not_o produce_v because_o it_o be_v needless_a and_o i_o have_v after_o a_o full_a hear_v ten_o pound_n cost_v give_v i_o against_o they_o and_o now_o my_o hand_n be_v in_o a_o word_n or_o two_o to_o their_o grand_a article_n that_o i_o give_v the_o communion_n to_o two_o of_o my_o churchwarden_n together_o who_o be_v excommunicate_v in_o the_o court_n near_o a_o year_n and_o half_o since_o but_o as_o i_o have_v leave_v to_o defer_v the_o publish_v of_o that_o excommunication_n so_o the_o sacrament_n be_v give_v they_o before_o it_o be_v publish_v and_o i_o have_v then_o great_a assurance_n that_o excommunication_n can_v take_v no_o effect_n till_o they_o be_v publish_v and_o what_o i_o do_v be_v do_v upon_o the_o best_a advice_n i_o be_v capable_a of_o have_v and_o i_o rely_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o more_o than_o one_o ecclesiastical_a judge_n and_o the_o same_o article_n have_v be_v exhibit_v against_o many_o other_o divine_n beside_o myself_o have_v they_o be_v so_o unhappy_a as_o to_o have_v have_v in_o their_o parish_n any_o people_n of_o such_o venomous_a spirit_n as_o those_o few_o i_o be_o infest_a with_o so_o that_o if_o this_o be_v a_o fault_n in_o i_o it_o be_v a_o fault_n of_o most_o excusable_a if_o i_o may_v not_o say_v invincible_a ignorance_n i_o no_o way_n consult_v my_o own_o interest_n in_o do_v this_o thing_n and_o i_o abominate_a the_o break_n of_o any_o order_n of_o the_o church_n to_o gratify_v any_o person_n whatsoever_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n more_o which_o i_o ought_v not_o to_o omit_v viz._n that_o whereas_o i_o may_v say_v but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v reply_v i_o live_v far_o from_o neighbour_n that_o no_o man_n can_v live_v more_o peaceable_o than_o i_o have_v do_v in_o this_o place_n nor_o have_v be_v more_o forward_o to_o

though_o i_o thank_v god_n i_o have_v but_o a_o very_a few_o that_o i_o know_v of_o but_o i_o have_v be_v for_o some_o time_n satisfy_v that_o my_o impartiality_n in_o preach_v have_v nettle_v some_o and_o particular_o my_o frequent_a expose_v certain_a vice_n of_o some_o among_o we_o who_o value_v themselves_o mighty_o upon_o their_o loyalty_n and_o conformity_n who_o i_o have_v plain_o tell_v that_o they_o be_v a_o disgrace_n both_o to_o the_o king_n and_o the_o church_n and_o it_o may_v be_v i_o have_v but_o seldom_o deal_v severe_o with_o the_o fanatic_n and_o man_n of_o factious_a seditious_a and_o rebellious_a principle_n but_o i_o have_v have_v a_o bout_n with_o they_o too_o now_o this_o be_v a_o fault_n i_o will_v not_o make_v the_o least_o excuse_v for_o and_o if_o it_o be_v a_o fault_n i_o believe_v most_o of_o the_o good_a service_n i_o have_v do_v here_o to_o the_o king_n and_o church_n have_v be_v principal_o owe_v to_o it_o a_o second_o cause_n of_o my_o

beside_o one_o personal_a pique_n i_o soon_o perceive_v the_o bottom_n of_o the_o enmity_n against_o he_o to_o be_v some_o sermon_n he_o preach_v of_o the_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o restitution_n that_o grievous_o gall_a some_o who_o be_v too_o well_o know_v to_o have_v wrong_v the_o poor_a together_o with_o his_o declare_v his_o mind_n elsewhere_o with_o some_o severity_n against_o several_a
