a_o letter_n to_o dr._n e._n hyde_n in_o answer_n to_o one_o of_o his_o occasion_v by_o the_o late_a insurrection_n at_o salisbury_n sir_n it_o be_v my_o resolution_n a_o good_a while_n ago_o of_o

a_o public_a contestation_n with_o you_o for_o all_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o we_o in_o a_o fair_a character_n then_o either_o you_o or_o i_o can_v write_v and_o to_o make_v all_o conscientious_a and_o rational_a reader_n judge_n of_o the_o right_n we_o claim_v and_o of_o the_o wrong_n we_o charge_v upon_o each_o other_o and_o your_o last_o letter_n of_o march_n 29._o rather_o full_o confirm_v i_o in_o this_o course_n than_o any_o way_n divert_v i_o from_o it_o because_o as_o i_o shall_v prove_v before_o i_o conclude_v my_o exception_n against_o it_o it_o refer_v to_o now_o public_a

it_o before_o i_o come_v to_o examination_n and_o answer_n of_o the_o part_n of_o it_o i_o will_v premise_v my_o general_a censure_n of_o the_o whole_a which_o be_v this_o in_o the_o letter_n you_o

of_o such_o a_o phantasm_n but_o i_o may_v rather_o say_v sir_n you_o may_v easy_o remember_v that_o i_o have_v prove_v your_o wife_n have_v no_o such_o right_n at_o all_o to_o fifth_n as_o you_o
