still_o notwithstanding_o the_o outward_a seem_n and_o apearance_n to_o the_o contrary_n well_o friendship_n or_o no_o friendship_n old_a or_o new_a the_o doctor_n however_o have_v abundance_n of_o

a_o friend_n in_o the_o case_n in_o the_o first_o place_n the_o doctor_n tell_v we_o he_o have_v great_a design_n to_o serve_v the_o christian_a religion_n and_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o

have_v not_o say_v one_o word_n to_o discharge_v they_o but_o plain_o confirm_v they_o for_o he_o add_v immediate_o though_o it_o may_v not_o be_v perfect_o in_o their_o way_n now_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o it_o sustain_v that_o denomination_n stand_v distinguish_v from_o dissenter_n of_o all_o sort_n by_o her_o canon_n article_n homily_n and_o liturgy_n and_o the_o old_a way_n of_o

that_o hitherto_o have_v be_v take_v by_o all_o those_o who_o have_v hearty_o and_o honest_o espouse_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o church_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o reformation_n but_o this_o be_v a_o way_n that_o do_v not_o please_v the_o doctor_n be_v friend_n but_o he_o be_v for_o a_o new_a way_n of_o his_o own_o and_o though_o the_o doctor_n do_v not_o tell_v we_o what_o way_n that_o

of_o the_o convocation_n to_o have_v bring_v it_o to_o effect_v and_o this_o be_v that_o great_a design_n he_o be_v always_o pursue_v with_o all_o his_o may_v and_o cunning_a that_o be_v he_o be_v

again_o he_o ask_v whether_o it_o be_v for_o the_o peace_n unity_n and_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n for_o some_o few_o assume_v man_n to_o alter_v the_o establish_a worship_n to_o make_v it_o

of_o worship_n for_o some_o new_a modern_a invention_n how_o shall_v we_o justify_v ourselves_o against_o the_o charge_n of_o novelty_n and_o innovation_n if_o we_o reform_v away_o all_o the_o

now_o sir_n you_o will_v confess_v that_o the_o doctor_n treat_v his_o friend_n especial_o a_o old_a friend_n a_o little_a coarse_o and_o unfriendly_a and_o i_o doubt_v very_o much_o whether_o the_o

more_o inflexible_a fearless_a honesty_n for_o these_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o character_n he_o give_v of_o he_o here_o but_o the_o doctor_n i_o suppose_v be_v grow_v wise_a now_o and_o which_o you_o know_v no_o man_n be_v forbid_v nay_o he_o be_v grow_v wise_a than_o the_o wise_a man_n themselves_o for_o you_o have_v hear_v that_o wise_a man_n foresee_v such_o principle_n will_v
