but_o now_o my_o lord_n to_o apologise_v no_o long_o for_o heat_n which_o be_v good_a or_o bad_a as_o the_o occasion_n upon_o or_o the_o cause_n in_o which_o it_o be_v use_v i_o appeal_v to_o your_o own_o conscience_n whether_o you_o do_v not_o know_v among_o the_o jacobeans_n as_o cool_v and_o as_o consider_v temper_n as_o any_o you_o know_v among_o your_o acquaintance_n who_o yet_o separate_v from_o the_o public_a upon_o the_o same_o pretence_n which_o you_o tell_v the_o people_n some_o warm_a man_n suggest_v i_o wish_v my_o lord_n for_o the_o future_a you_o will_v take_v the_o counsel_n of_o gamaliel_n and_o let_v these_o man_n alone_o for_o if_o this_o counsel_n or_o this_o work_n of_o they_o be_v but_o the_o effect_n of_o heat_n or_o 29._o or_o page_n 29._o unaccountable_a humour_n it_o will_v come_v to_o naught_o of_o itself_o but_o if_o it_o be_v of_o god_n you_o can_v overthrow_v it_o though_o you_o may_v persecute_v they_o to_o destruction_n lest_o haply_o you_o be_v find_v to_o fight_v against_o god_n i_o have_v now_o give_v your_o grace_n a_o occasion_n to_o review_v your_o faremwel-sermon_n in_o which_o by_o the_o leave_n of_o the_o gentleman_n of_o the_o vestry_n i_o must_v needs_o say_v i_o think_v you_o have_v reason_v very_o indifferent_o and-noot_a like_o yourself_o and_o though_o those_o gentleman_n through_o the_o great_a veneration_n they_o deserve_o have_v for_o you_o do_v not_o perceive_v the_o weakness_n of_o your_o reason_v yet_o many_o other_o who_o can_v distinguish_v betwixt_o the_o speaker_n and_o what_o be_v speak_v do_v nay_o i_o can_v assure_v you_o that_o some_o of_o the_o weak_a sex_n be_v sensible_a of_o it_o madam_n say_v a_o lady_n to_o another_o of_o great_a quality_n you_o hear_v what_o my_o lord_n say_v yes_o say_v she_o i_o have_v hear_v what_o be_v say_v as_o well_o as_o your_o ladyship_n but_o he_o have_v say_v nothing_o to_o convince_v i_o and_o if_o this_o be_v all_o he_o have_v to_o say_v i_o shall_v be_v more_o confirm_v than_o i_o be_v for_o i_o think_v i_o be_o able_a to_o answer_v all_o that_o i_o hear_v he_o say_v to_o this_o purpose_n speak_v that_o noble_a and_o most_o virtuous_a lady_n and_o i_o can_v do_v no_o less_o than_o tell_v your_o grace_n of_o it_o that_o hereafter_o you_o may_v take_v care_n to_o print_v none_o but_o rational_a sermon_n which_o it_o concern_v you_o to_o do_v not_o only_o as_o a_o person_n of_o most_o venerable_a character_n but_o as_o a_o great_a pretender_n to_o reason_n who_o in_o a_o certain_a time_n and_o place_n doubt_v if_o the_o bishop_n then_o suspend_v be_v good_a
