swear_v at_o all_o so_o much_o in_o reply_n sir_n to_o your_o downright_a demonstration_n which_o you_o steal_v out_o of_o the_o pastoral_n letter_n and_o what_o right_n you_o have_v to_o steal_v other_o folk_n argument_n and_o not_o cite_v they_o for_o it_o you_o can_v best_o tell_v after_o your_o argument_n to_o the_o bishop_n to_o induce_v they_o to_o take_v the_o oath_n you_o say_v that_o if_o they_o real_o stumble_v at_o it_o than_o it_o be_v reasonable_a for_o they_o to_o give_v as_o good_a security_n to_o the_o government_n as_o if_o they_o have_v take_v it_o i_o know_v not_o sir_n what_o security_n you_o mean_v but_o certain_o the_o approve_a peaceable_a temper_n and_o quiet_a disposition_n of_o those_o pious_a good_a bishop_n and_o several_a other_o true_o conscientious_a

as_o some_o of_o they_o former_o have_v take_v both_o the_o covenant_n and_o engagement_n swallow_v any_o oath_n though_o never_o so_o apparent_o contradictory_n to_o their_o former_o avow_v

nice_a distinction_n endeavour_v to_o make_v void_a the_o obligation_n of_o the_o late_a oath_n you_o can_v but_o have_v hear_v how_o insignificant_a many_o man_n have_v make_v the_o oath_n with_o

of_o it_o as_o they_o be_v i_o know_v they_o have_v charity_n enough_o to_o forgive_v you_o though_o you_o know_v what_o you_o do_v but_o sir_n god_n will_v not_o forgive_v you_o unless_o you_o can_v

the_o help_n of_o your_o old_a servant_n but_o you_o also_o impute_v the_o refuse_v of_o the_o the_o oath_n to_o humour_n and_o represent_v their_o deprivation_n as_o their_o own_o choice_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v their_o own_o choice_n as_o their_o go_v to_o the_o tower_n be_v and_o they_o also_o deprive_v themselves_o as_o you_o express_v it_o and_o so_o their_o old_a friend_n the_o r._n

shall_v we_o pity_v man_n that_o will_v not_o pity_v themselves_o then_o with_o all_o the_o civility_n in_o the_o world_n you_o go_v about_o to_o tell_v they_o that_o the_o people_n forsooth_o will_v not_o be_v so_o sensible_a of_o their_o worth_n as_o to_o be_v concern_v for_o their_o suffering_n and_o that_o they_o be_v mistake_v in_o the_o computation_n in_o the_o number_n of_o their_o friend_n as_o k._n j._n be_v of_o his_o by_o the_o address_n to_o he_o but_o sir_n how_o absurd_a and_o incongruous_a be_v your_o comparison_n for_o when_o k._n j._n receive_v the_o address_n he_o be_v in_o the_o height_n of_o his_o majesty_n as_o king_n but_o these_o bishop_n ever_o since_o the_o revolution_n have_v be_v in_o their_o declension_n and_o since_o the_o first_o of_o august_n look_v upon_o as_o man_n who_o be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n and_o if_o any_o either_o clergyman_n or_o layman_n have_v since_o express_v their_o duty_n and_o concern_v for_o they_o they_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o suspect_v their_o sincerity_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a to_o believe_v that_o they_o be_v their_o friend_n in_o reality_n as_o well_o as_o pretence_n no_o sir_n they_o be_v the_o man_n of_o

as_o good_a who_o may_v be_v able_a to_o supply_v the_o bishop_n place_n and_o come_v up_o to_o their_o pitch_n now_o sir_n that_o there_o be_v no_o scarcity_n of_o good_a man_n in_o the_o church_n be_v very_o true_a neither_o will_v there_o have_v be_v any_o though_o you_o have_v not_o come_v among_o they_o but_o that_o any_o learned_a man_n of_o true_a moral_a worth_n and_o goodness_n can_v accept_v the_o bishopric_n to_o be_v vacate_v by_o the_o deprivation_n of_o those_o excellent_a person_n be_v a_o paradox_n to_o my_o belief_n howbeit_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o they_o will_v be_v supply_v by_o man_n worthy_a if_o not_o by_o worthy_a man_n and_o as_o to_o those_o two_o person_n who_o have_v succeed_v in_o the_o two_o last_o vacancy_n i_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v that_o it_o will_v have_v blast_v all_o the_o reputation_n they_o have_v acquire_v if_o they_o have_v succeed_v as_o some_o i_o hear_v be_v ready_a to_o do_v in_o the_o suspend_v bishop_n see_v for_o

of_o st._n athanasius_n when_o he_o be_v deprive_v all_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o emperor_n and_o synod_n of_o antioch_n can_v not_o reconcile_v they_o to_o such_o successor_n which_o eusebius_n
