against_o the_o better_a title_n become_v not_o only_o a_o condition_n to_o the_o clergy_n of_o exercise_v their_o ministry_n but_o also_o a_o part_n both_o in_o prayer_n and_o sacrament_n of_o the_o

in_o the_o most_o difficult_a as_o well_o as_o most_o easy_a part_n of_o religion_n they_o be_v as_o zealous_a for_o the_o practical_a as_o the_o speculative_a doctrine_n of_o christianity_n and_o stand_v up_o as_o much_o for_o probity_n of_o life_n as_o purity_n of_o faith_n and_o worship_n in_o a_o word_n they_o be_v as_o righteous_a towards_o their_o king_n as_o towards_o god_n and_o will_v

be_v true_a say_v they_o with_o respect_n to_o outward_a ease_n but_o not_o to_o the_o ease_n that_o be_v within_o and_o true_o my_o lord_n they_o themselves_o be_v a_o sensible_a example_n of_o

for_o the_o kind_n as_o few_o and_o for_o the_o degree_n as_o little_a of_o those_o troublesome_a passion_n as_o any_o sort_n of_o man_n in_o the_o world_n i_o appeal_v to_o your_o worthy_a

whether_o in_o a_o great_a heat_n of_o passion_n he_o be_v not_o ready_a to_o go_v to_o her_o majesty_n like_o dr._n b._n to_o desire_n to_o be_v excuse_v none_o of_o the_o deprive_a bishop_n part_v

principle_n they_o be_v as_o free_v from_o bitter_a zeal_n as_o from_o shame_n and_o remorse_n and_o if_o you_o do_v not_o envy_v the_o felicity_n of_o their_o deprivation_n i_o dare_v say_v they_o do_v not_o envy_v you_o their_o revenue_n and_o think_v you_o no_o reproach_n to_o they_o if_o you_o do_v not_o think_v they_o so_o to_o you_o but_o far_o my_o lord_n be_v the_o passion_n never_o so_o
