speak_v to_o have_v so_o much_o care_n of_o the_o flock_n commit_v to_o your_o charge_n as_o to_o make_v enquiry_n after_o such_o grievous_a wolf_n as_o he_o describe_v who_o be_v the_o only_a man_n

of_o god_n and_o fear_v lest_o they_o shall_v step_v into_o those_o preferment_n of_o which_o perhaps_o he_o think_v himself_o far_o more_o worthy_a i_o accuse_v he_o of_o nothing_o of_o this_o

more_o secret_o there_o than_o he_o fancy_v socimanism_n do_v in_o other_o i_o will_v not_o put_v he_o upon_o any_o inquiry_n about_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o sermon_n though_o some_o i_o perceive_v will_v fain_o be_v satisfy_v about_o many_o particular_n beside_o this_o let_v he_o only_o ask_v himself_o again_o what_o assurance_n he_o have_v that_o he_o do_v not_o wrong_v the_o innocent_a in_o

search_n that_o they_o have_v make_v there_o be_v no_o such_o man_n as_o he_o have_v describe_v among_o our_o clergy_n and_o if_o he_o find_v that_o his_o declamation_n be_v ground_v on_o weak_a

knee_n and_o beg_v god_n pardon_n let_v he_o inflict_v that_o penance_n on_o himself_o which_o his_o fault_n deserve_v though_o the_o church_n suffer_v he_o to_o escape_v without_o any_o censure_n it_o will_v be_v too_o much_o perhaps_o to_o expect_v that_o he_o shall_v make_v satisfaction_n to_o his_o brethren_n who_o he_o have_v wrong_v by_o open_a confession_n under_o his_o hand_n that_o he_o be_v rash_a and_o too_o easy_a to_o believe_v evil_a of_o other_o to_o use_v no_o harsh_a word_n if_o i_o be_v as_o they_o i_o shall_v take_v his_o silence_n for_o such_o a_o confession_n and_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o a_o man_n true_o sorry_a for_o his_o sin_n if_o after_o this_o he_o hold_v he_o peace_n i_o have_v but_o one_o word_n to_o add_v to_o he_o and_o a_o word_n to_o some_o other_o
