discourse_n be_v in_o all_o just_a construction_n level_v against_o the_o dissenter_n in_o general_n nay_o he_o usual_o fall_v upon_o the_o directory_n which_o be_v a_o book_n the_o generality_n of_o dissenter_n have_v a_o great_a and_o just_a value_n for_o the_o compiler_n of_o it_o have_v use_v great_a modesty_n and_o tenderness_n in_o its_o composure_n without_o follow_v the_o impose_v temper_n of_o those_o that_o require_v so_o peremptory_a a_o declaration_n of_o assent_n and_o consent_v to_o all_o thing_n contain_v in_o and_o prescribe_v by_o the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n and_o the_o form_n of_o ordain_v bishop_n priest_n and_o deacon_n so_o that_o since_o his_o discourse_n be_v direct_v against_o what_o himself_o suppose_v to_o be_v the_o common_a opinion_n and_o practice_n of_o dissenter_n every_o man_n among_o they_o have_v a_o just_a right_a to_o defend_v the_o common_a cause_n and_o the_o bishop_n have_v no_o just_a ground_n to_o complain_v of_o any_o one_o interpose_v in_o it_o nay_o 2._o i_o have_v a_o very_a just_o call_v to_o it_o and_o that_o from_o the_o dissent_v minister_n of_o his_o own_o diocese_n who_o urge_v this_o reason_n for_o it_o that_o as_o the_o bishop_n discourse_n may_v possess_v those_o that_o be_v stranger_n to_o the_o dissenter_n with_o ill_a apprehension_n of_o they_o if_o his_o mistake_v be_v not_o discover_v so_o few_o will_v read_v a_o answer_n to_o it_o if_o it_o come_v not_o out_o while_o the_o matter_n be_v fresh_a in_o their_o mind_n and_o they_o have_v less_o of_o leisure_n for_o such_o a_o undertake_n at_o that_o time_n and_o as_o i_o do_v not_o interpose_v without_o their_o desire_n so_o neither_o do_v i_o write_v without_o particular_a information_n from_o they_o to_o which_o i_o have_v exact_o adhere_v and_o from_o which_o i_o have_v yet_o see_v no_o reason_n to_o recede_v 3._o i_o have_v yet_o a_o more_o particular_a concern_v in_o the_o bishop_n book_n for_o though_o he_o will_v not_o vouchsafe_v a_o answer_n to_o some_o former_a paper_n of_o i_o show_v the_o unreasonableness_n of_o his_o exclude_v we_o from_o the_o catholic_n church_n yet_o he_o take_v the_o liberty_n to_o misrepresent_v the_o principle_n lay_v down_o in_o they_o and_o charge_v they_o as_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o unity_n and_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n so_o that_o i_o lay_v under_o a_o particular_a obligation_n to_o vindicate_v my_o self_n as_o well_o as_o under_o a_o common_a one_o to_o justify_v the_o common_a opinion_n and_o practice_n of_o dissenter_n which_o the_o bishop_n have_v either_o misrepresent_v or_o argue_v against_o upon_o weak_a and_o insufficient_a ground_n the_o second_o the_o bishop_n complain_v of_o be_v that_o i_o give_v he_o hard_a word_n and_o speak_v hard_a thing_n of_o he_o admon_n p._n 141_o 142_o 145_o etc._n etc._n answ_n i_o may_v i_o think_v in_o this_o matter_n appeal_v to_o any_o equal_a judge_n of_o thing_n whether_o the_o dissenter_n have_v not_o just_a reason_n to_o complain_v of_o he_o for_o say_v so_o many_o hard_a and_o reproachful_a thing_n of_o they_o without_o any_o just_a ground_n than_o he_o to_o complain_v of_o i_o only_o for_o tell_v he_o how_o great_o he_o have_v wrong_v we_o and_o how_o little_a regard_n he_o have_v have_v to_o truth_n in_o such_o a_o multitude_n of_o particular_n wherein_o he_o have_v unreasonable_o accuse_v we_o and_o indeed_o some_o of_o those_o accusation_n tend_v so_o apparent_o to_o defame_v and_o render_v we_o odious_a that_o it_o will_v have_v look_v like_o a_o tacit_n confession_n of_o gild_n to_o have_v express_v no_o distaste_n at_o such_o disingenuous_a treament_n nor_o do_v i_o understand_v that_o the_o bishop_n have_v any_o great_a reason_n to_o expect_v the_o same_o deference_n to_o be_v pay_v to_o he_o that_o will_v have_v be_v due_a to_o any_o other_o of_o his_o character_n that_o have_v give_v any_o evidence_n of_o his_o moderation_n and_o charity_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o both_o his_o discourse_n and_o admonition_n bate_v the_o many_o severe_a but_o groundless_a aspersion_n in_o they_o have_v a_o air_n of_o mildness_n and_o temper_n in_o the_o style_n of_o they_o and_o we_o often_o meet_v with_o friendly_a appellation_n in_o '_o they_o but_o i_o take_v man_n declare_a opinion_n and_o especial_o their_o action_n to_o be_v a_o sure_a indication_n of_o their_o temper_n than_o the_o common_a civility_n that_o occur_v in_o their_o way_n of_o writing_n joab_n have_v very_o oblige_v language_n towards_o amasa_n in_o his_o mouth_n be_v thou_o in_o health_n my_o brother_n but_o he_o
