of_o the_o north_n etc._n etc._n dear_a sir_n i_o defer_v my_o thanks_o for_o your_o last_o till_o i_o can_v tell_v you_o i_o have_v receive_v the_o little_a pamphlet_n wherein_o you_o think_v i_o have_v some_o concern_v therefore_o if_o this_o appear_v a_o slow_a return_n to_o you_o you_o be_v to_o blame_v the_o carrier_n pace_n which_o be_v not_o like_a to_o mend_v in_o so_o bad_a wether_n and_o way_n but_o this_o be_v to_o own_o that_o i_o yesterday_o receive_v it_o and_o be_v at_o present_a from_o my_o own_o house_n and_o want_v the_o convenience_n of_o my_o book_n and_o paper_n here_o i_o think_v it_o better_a to_o give_v you_o a_o account_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o a_o first_o and_o second_o read_v suggest_v than_o to_o take_v a_o long_a time_n to_o consider_v of_o it_o and_o thereby_o raise_v your_o expectation_n beyond_o what_o i_o can_v come_v up_o to_o but_o beside_o the_o letter_n you_o send_v i_o be_v both_o without_o date_n and_o licence_n i_o know_v not_o how_o long_o i_o may_v have_v be_v in_o this_o worthy_a author_n debt_n and_o therefore_o make_v all_o the_o haste_n i_o can_v to_o get_v out_o of_o it_o for_o although_o i_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o have_v trouble_v either_o he_o or_o the_o world_n with_o any_o more_o of_o my_o pamphlet_n yet_o the_o respect_n that_o he_o be_v please_v to_o show_v to_o my_o quality_n be_v so_o particular_a and_o

beg_v your_o pardon_n for_o give_v you_o a_o trouble_n for_o which_o there_o be_v so_o little_a occasion_n for_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v some_o that_o think_v his_o letter_n do_v as_o little_a need_n a_o answer_n as_o i_o do_v but_o i_o will_v assure_v you_o i_o be_o very_o sensible_a of_o his_o favour_n in_o take_v notice_n of_o such_o a_o trifle_n when_o so_o many_o learned_a and_o weighty_a treatise_n lie_v by_o he_o unanswered_a therefore_o shall_v not_o suppose_v he_o pick_v i_o out_o because_o it_o be_v the_o weak_a but_o because_o there_o be_v something_o in_o it_o that_o deserve_v a_o answer_n but_o yet_o i_o must_v not_o be_v so_o vain_a as_o to_o assume_v all_o the_o good_a language_n in_o the_o book_n to_o myself_o for_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n he_o have_v pretty_a equal_o dispense_v his_o favour_n between_o three_o of_o we_o but_o my_o be_v the_o large_a part_n i_o shall_v leave_v the_o other_o two_o to_o answer_v for_o themselves_o while_o i_o admire_v the_o author_n dexterity_n in_o knock_v down_o three_o at_o one_o blow_n i_o have_v indeed_o hear_v of_o kill_v two_o bird_n with_o one_o stone_n before_o but_o three_o at_o a_o time_n beside_o rout_v a_o whole_a party_n be_v so_o extraordinary_a that_o i_o begin_v to_o fear_v bomb_n will_v come_v in_o fashion_n in_o this_o kind_n of_o war_n also_o for_o one_o single_a bullet_n can_v never_o have_v make_v such_o destruction_n but_o if_o there_o be_v such_o execution_n by_o the_o by_o alas_o what_o will_v become_v of_o i_o against_o who_o the_o murderous_a engine_n be_v direct_o level_v but_o you_o will_v suppose_v that_o i_o have_v a_o little_a too_o much_o business_n on_o my_o hand_n to_o make_v a_o long_a preamble_n therefore_o shall_v proceed_v to_o the_o

for_o a_o long_a time_n at_o york_n have_v a_o custom_n which_o now_o challenge_v the_o privilege_n of_o a_o prescription_n that_o all_o the_o apprentice_n journeyman_n and_o other_o servant_n of_o

that_o a_o great_a many_o come_v out_o of_o the_o country_n to_o see_v the_o city_n if_o not_o their_o friend_n and_o church_n to_o oblige_v the_o ordinary_a people_n the_o minster_n use_v to_o be_v

well_o as_o hazardous_a thing_n to_o attempt_v it_o but_o all_o their_o argument_n can_v not_o prevail_v for_o he_o be_v resolve_v to_o make_v the_o experiment_n for_o which_o he_o have_v like_a to_o have_v pay_v very_o dear_a for_o i_o will_v assure_v you_o it_o be_v very_o near_o cost_v he_o his_o life_n and_o other_o too_o that_o in_o kindness_n come_v at_o first_o to_o dissuade_v he_o but_o have_v much_o ado_n to_o secure_v themselves_o but_o however_o he_o do_v make_v such_o a_o combustion_n and_o mutiny_n that_o i_o dare_v say_v york_n never_o remember_v nor_o see_v the_o like_a as_o many_o yet_o live_v can_v testify_v but_o how_o well_o soever_o the_o good_a man_n design_v in_o the_o thing_n as_o i_o very_o believe_v he_o do_v yet_o his_o zeal_n be_v so_o indiscreet_o manage_v that_o it_o have_v like_a to_o have_v produce_v the_o worst_a of_o mischief_n and_o therefore_o in_o some_o people_n opinion_n that_o be_v better_a judge_n of_o the_o fact_n than_o i_o be_v he_o do_v not_o deserve_v any_o encomium_n for_o it_o but_o however_o at_o this_o time_n it_o will_v not_o be_v very_o reasonable_a to_o follow_v such_o a_o example_n which_o be_v all_o i_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o for_o the_o other_o memorable_a thing_n he_o relate_v 2._o of_o his_o enter_v into_o episcopal_a order_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o late_a distraction_n be_v true_o praiseworthy_a although_o

his_o friend_n also_o nay_o more_o than_o that_o to_o overcome_v himself_o and_o root_v out_o all_o those_o prejudices_fw-la that_o a_o contrary_a education_n for_o he_o be_v bring_v up_o a_o strict_a

i_o do_v not_o say_v this_o to_o derogate_v from_o bp_o lake_n for_o the_o more_o instance_n the_o better_a of_o such_o heroic_a virtue_n therefore_o can_v have_v wish_v that_o our_o author_n have_v

for_o be_v it_o not_o as_o downright_a perjury_n for_o a_o mayor_n of_o a_o town_n to_o deliver_v up_o the_o charter_n he_o be_v so_o solemn_o swear_v to_o maintain_v as_o it_o will_v have_v be_v to_o

they_o fling_v off_o their_o subjection_n to_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n and_o if_o he_o will_v please_v to_o apply_v that_o to_o his_o own_o scruple_n i_o think_v he_o need_v not_o go_v any_o

will_v not_o come_v near_o the_o question_n but_o that_o he_o may_v be_v sure_a to_o be_v out_o of_o my_o reach_n he_o be_v send_v i_o as_o far_o as_o troy_n but_o methinks_v i_o need_v not_o go_v so_o far_o for_o the_o answer_n of_o one_o poor_a question_n but_o here_o our_o author_n be_v force_v to_o his_o old_a shift_n of_o shuffle_n and_o pack_v the_o card_n for_o he_o have_v real_o the_o best_a faculty_n of_o single_v out_o one_o line_n out_o of_o a_o sentence_n and_o lest_o it_o shall_v not_o appear_v ridiculous_a enough_o by_o itself_o join_v it_o to_o another_o i_o know_v not_o how_o far_o off_o to_o which_o it_o have_v no_o coherence_n as_o he_o have_v do_v in_o several_a other_o as_o well_o as_o this_o place_n for_o my_o query_n be_v in_o these_o very_a word_n whether_o

their_o purse_n if_o they_o have_v know_v how_o to_o have_v convey_v they_o relief_n and_o how_o faithful_o he_o render_v it_o and_o how_o full_o he_o answer_v it_o you_o shall_v guess_v from_o his_o

london-derry_n shall_v be_v deliver_v out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o merciless_a butcher_n for_o those_o be_v to_o be_v leave_v out_o in_o that_o place_n for_o some_o reason_n best_o know_v to_o himself_o he_o believe_v they_o do_v because_o there_o be_v many_o thousand_o innocent_a person_n who_o they_o never_o see_v and_o who_o never_o do_v they_o any_o wrong_n and_o now_o i_o will_v appeal_v to_o my_o reader_n if_o here_o be_v not_o a_o passage_n as_o faithful_o cite_v and_o as_o well_o apply_v as_o ever_o he_o see_v for_o let_v the_o question_n be_v what_o it_o will_v it_o will_v be_v pretty_a much_o if_o it_o be_v strange_a than_o the_o answer_n so_o that_o i_o think_v the_o suspend_v clergy_n be_v not_o much_o more_o oblige_v to_o he_o for_o bring_v they_o in_o so_o needless_o and_o use_v such_o weighty_a argument_n in_o their_o behalf_n than_o the_o derry-man_n as_o he_o say_v be_v to_o i_o there_o be_v only_o this_o difference_n that_o by_o his_o own_o

apply_v to_o any_o other_o city_n in_o their_o circumstance_n i_o see_v not_o where_o the_o injury_n will_v be_v to_o they_o by_o it_o nor_o do_v i_o very_o well_o discern_v how_o the_o bigness_n or_o

his_o instance_n in_o the_o netherlands_o be_v as_o pat_o to_o their_o purpose_n as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v make_v for_o they_o although_o i_o think_v their_o have_v so_o many_o thousand_o innocent_a person_n among_o they_o that_o must_v certain_o have_v perish_v if_o they_o have_v not_o take_v up_o arm_n for_o their_o preservation_n be_v no_o ill_a argument_n nor_o can_v i_o believe_v disapprove_v by_o the_o dissent_v clergy_n if_o they_o will_v be_v once_o so_o ingenuous_a and_o kind_a as_o to_o own_o their_o thought_n in_o the_o point_n but_o i_o suppose_v they_o may_v be_v commit_v to_o the_o author_n under_o the_o seal_n of_o confession_n and_o so_o be_v not_o to_o be_v make_v public_a for_o else_o methinks_v he_o shall_v not_o so_o industrious_o have_v avoid_v the_o

must_v then_o repeat_v what_o i_o say_v before_o it_o will_v give_v i_o a_o great_a prejudice_n against_o the_o doctrine_n than_o ever_o yet_o i_o have_v since_o it_o not_o only_o make_v they_o put_v
