their_o evidence_n be_v taint_v and_o savour_v of_o project_n and_o artifice_n and_o man_n always_o uspect_v on_o that_o hand_n and_o i_o be_o sorry_a to_o find_v that_o these_o very_a paper_n

and_o yet_o he_o keep_v one_o of_o the_o most_o considerable_a live_n in_o england_n all_o the_o time_n of_o the_o usurpation_n and_o what_o great_a advantage_n have_v accrue_v to_o the_o crown_n by_o his_o service_n and_o in_o his_o letter_n to_o the_o duke_n of_o york_n he_o strong_o urge_v the_o great_a service_n he_o have_v do_v that_o what_o be_v do_v like_o a_o king_n shall_v have_v a_o

good_a account_n of_o dr._n gauden_n performance_n but_o they_o look_v a_o little_a scurvy_o come_v from_o his_o own_o mouth_n have_v the_o dr._n never_o a_o friend_n at_o court_n methinks_v my_o lord_n of_o warwick_n or_o manchester_n his_o know_a friend_n and_o patron_n or_o else_o my_o lord_n marquis_n of_o hartford_n and_o bishop_n duppa_n may_v have_v save_v he_o this_o trouble_v and_o so_o certain_o they_o will_v have_v they_o know_v by_o he_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o the_o writing_n the_o king_n book_n but_o since_o the_o dr._n be_v force_v to_o make_v use_n of_o himself_o it_o seem_v pretty_a plain_a that_o there_o be_v no_o body_n else_o to_o employ_v in_o this_o matter_n and_o that_o no_o person_n about_o the_o king_n know_v the_o drs._n merit_v so_o well_o as_o himself_o the_o truth_n be_v a_o man_n that_o be_v clamorous_a in_o his_o own_o praise_n always_o look_v suspicious_o and_o he_o that_o can_v break_v through_o all_o the_o bound_n of_o modesty_n and_o decency_n to_o magnify_v his_o own_o merit_n may_v possible_o not_o be_v very_o shy_a in_o strain_v at_o a_o point_n of_o truth_n to_o make_v it_o good_a boast_v always_o stand_v near_o untruth_n and_o tread_v on_o the_o very_a heel_n of_o it_o to_o this_o may_v be_v add_v 2._o a_o immoderate_a desire_n of_o reward_n and_o undue_a solicitation_n for_o it_o thus_o these_o paper_n represent_v he_o as_o discontent_v with_o his_o preferment_n to_o the_o bishopric_n of_o exeter_n tell_v the_o king_n that_o he_o have_v a_o high_a rack_n but_o a_o low_a manger_n although_o there_o be_v several_a bishopric_n in_o england_n and_o wales_n inferior_a to_o that_o in_o point_n of_o revenue_n and_o at_o that_o time_n possess_v by_o man_n of_o very_o great_a worth_n and_o virtue_n thus_o also_o he_o teach_v the_o king_n to_o be_v grateful_a to_o he_o by_o the_o respective_a advancement_n of_o joseph_n daniel_n and_o mordecai_n thus_o in_o the_o letter_n to_o the_o duke_n of_o york_n he_o importunate_o beg_v his_o royal_a highness_n to_o intercede_v for_o he_o with_o the_o king_n and_o in_o the_o lord_n chancellor_n hyde_n letter_n to_o he_o it_o be_v express_v that_o he_o be_v uneasy_a under_o the_o bishop_n importunity_n these_o thing_n plain_o represent_v a_o very_a ambitious_a temper_n covetous_a of_o preferment_n hasty_a and_o patient_a in_o the_o pursuit_n of_o it_o and_o when_o man_n be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o such_o a_o complexion_n they_o do_v not_o general_o manage_v themselves_o by_o nice_a and_o punctual_a method_n and_o to_o be_v sure_o such_o a_o man_n merit_n will_v lose_v nothing_o by_o his_o own_o tell_v they_o nor_o himself_o any_o thing_n for_o want_n of_o ask_v and_o the_o truth_n be_v overvalue_a our_o own_o merit_n and_o claim_v those_o which_o be_v none_o of_o our_o own_o differ_v very_o little_a in_o point_n of_o modesty_n and_o virtue_n and_o he_o that_o can_v do_v one_o in_o all_o probability_n will_v not_o stick_v at_o the_o other_o if_o he_o think_v it_o feasible_a to_o accomplish_v the_o end_n he_o aim_v at_o so_o that_o those_o who_o have_v publish_v these_o paper_n have_v do_v but_o little_a service_n to_o the_o bishop_n memory_n and_o as_o little_a to_o the_o cause_n they_o pretend_v to_o maintain_v for_o though_o i_o do_v not_o from_o hence_o conclude_v that_o the_o bishop_n ever_o tell_v king_n charles_n the_o duke_n of_o york_n or_o the_o lord_n chancellor_n that_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o book_n yet_o if_o ever_o he_o do_v so_o or_o to_o any_o other_o i_o do_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v his_o own_o cause_n and_o for_o such_o end_n and_o join_v with_o such_o a_o temper_n it_o apparent_o sink_v the_o credit_n of_o his_o own_o testimony_n and_o render_v it_o of_o no_o value_n 2._o another_o thing_n which_o will_v take_v off_o the_o force_n of_o dr._n gauden_n testimony_n in_o this_o case_n suppose_v he_o ever_o attest_v it_o be_v the_o immorality_n and_o infamy_n of_o the_o
