whole_a discourse_n of_o my_o lord_n well_o weigh_v be_v more_o against_o himself_o then_o i_o and_o such_o trouble_v of_o his_o lordship_n i_o hope_v all_o man_n well_o affect_v to_o the_o present_a church_n of_o england_n will_v easy_o pardon_v and_o this_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o their_o lordship_n and_o all_o man_n else_o will_v the_o rather_o do_v when_o they_o consider_v the_o occasion_n

and_o sin_n against_o christ._n in_o this_o second_o request_n i_o can_v easy_o agree_v with_o my_o lord_n in_o some_o thing_n but_o must_v differ_v in_o other_o and_o first_o i_o agree_v with_o all_o my_o 1._o heart_n that_o i_o will_v have_v no_o pressure_n at_o all_o much_o less_o cut_v off_o from_o their_o native_a country_n put_v upon_o they_o who_o be_v know_v to_o worship_v the_o same_o
