say_v again_o mr._n l'estrange_n do_v know_v the_o person_n &_o be_v acquaint_v with_o his_o offence_n and_o perhaps_o he_o judge_v it_o slight_a and_o trivial_a or_o else_o he_o do_v ill_a to_o

more_o to_o be_v say_v i_o will_v yield_v my_o affidavit_fw-la lose_v if_o not_o it_o be_v a_o riddle_n to_o i_o unless_o he_o mean_v such_o a_o church_n of_o england_n man_n as_o in_o the_o reign_n of_o henry_n the_o seven_o or_o queen_n mary_n he_o declare_v one_o thing_n and_o protest_v another_o how_o to_o judge_n be_v a_o hard_a case_n and_o yet_o i_o think_v there_o be_v but_o little_a

conceive_v it_o to_o be_v such_o a_o irrefragable_a argument_n that_o a_o man_n be_v no_o papist_n because_o he_o rattle_v the_o fanatic_n and_o exclaim_v with_o so_o much_o bitterness_n against_o the_o outrageous_a liberty_n of_o the_o press_n he_o be_v the_o most_o improper_a person_n in_o the_o world_n to_o combat_v the_o freedom_n of_o scribble_a or_o at_o least_o to_o pursue_v that_o subject_a with_o so_o much_o virulence_n and_o bitterness_n of_o spirit_n for_o all_o the_o world_n will_v judge_v that_o to_o be_v self-interest_n in_o he_o which_o will_v be_v think_v real_a sentiment_n in_o another_o on_o the_o other_o side_n nothing_o more_o prevail_v with_o i_o to_o believe_v the_o gentleman_n be_v no_o papist_n because_o i_o can_v conceive_v that_o any_o person_n of_o true_a learning_n and_o ingenuity_n will_v be_v of_o such_o a_o mock_n show_v gugaw_n joynted-baby_n religion_n that_o put_v divine_a worship_n to_o hold_v de_fw-fr la_fw-fr quenoville_n and_o will_v enforce_v we_o to_o deify_v the_o distaff_n with_o as_o many_o title_n of_o honour_n in_o her_o liturgy_n as_o ever_o the_o queen_n of_o spain_n have_v but_o if_o self-interest_n happen_v to_o dazzle_v the_o sight_n or_o the_o prospect_n of_o preferment_n better_o improve_v a_o man_n judgement_n i_o have_v nothing_o more_o to_o say_v but_o what_o be_v it_o to_o i_o whether_o mr._n l'estrange_n be_v a_o papist_n or_o no_o my_o design_n be_v only_o to_o maintain_v the_o truth_n of_o my_o information_n i_o have_v swear_v that_o i_o do_v see_v mr._n l'estrange_n at_o mass_n in_o the_o queen_n chapel_n since_o his_o majesty_n happy_a restauration_n 1660_o and_o that_o i_o will_v justify_v though_o he_o resume_v a_o protestation_n as_o long_o as_o from_o charing-cross_n to_o milend-green_a for_o if_o he_o will_v not_o believe_v his_o own_o lip_n i_o must_v and_o will_v believe_v my_o own_o eye_n he_o say_v indeed_o i_o can_v not_o say_v i_o see_v he_o receive_v it_o be_v very_o right_a for_o i_o see_v no_o such_o thing_n and_o therefore_o because_o i_o swear_v no_o more_o than_o i_o see_v it_o be_v the_o fair_a argument_n that_o what_o i_o swear_v be_v the_o truth_n but_o what_o say_v ephraim_n my_o beloved_n why_o ephraim_n say_v that_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o i_o will_v swear_v i_o have_v see_v he_o forty_o time_n at_o mass_n but_o you_o see_v my_o belove_a that_o ephraim_n be_v unkind_a in_o his_o report_n he_o be_v a_o false_a brother_n and_o stray_v from_o the_o truth_n but_o what_o if_o ephraim_n have_v hear_v it_o it_o be_v only_o a_o report_n and_o no_o more_o than_o what_o mr._n l'estrange_n himself_o tell_v the_o world_n in_o his_o appeal_n only_o that_o the_o number_n differ_v viz._n that_o i_o shall_v say_v in_o company_n that_o i_o will_v swear_v i_o have_v see_v he_o at_o mass_n above_o a_o hundred_o time_n by_o which_o the_o world_n may_v see_v that_o mr._n l'estrange_n be_v more_o afraid_a than_o hurt_v but_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o the_o purpose_n what_o ephraim_n report_v or_o what_o he_o by_o his_o eeves-dropper_n be_v assure_v of_o when_o the_o oath_n itself_o appear_v and_o put_v all_o report_n and_o hearsays_a out_o of_o door_n why_o then_o to_o unfold_v the_o mystery_n they_o be_v only_a attaques_n of_o disparagement_n one_o of_o the_o most_o prudent_a way_n in_o the_o world_n to_o undermine_v and_o blow_v up_o a_o testimony_n to_o which_o purpose_n ephraim_n the_o cunning_a lay_v another_o train_n and_o tell_v zekiel_n the_o suttle_n that_o he_o be_v round_v in_o the_o ear_n that_o i_o have_v ten_o witness_n in_o a_o readiness_n to_o make_v good_a my_o proof_n a_o reproach_n which_o wherever_o it_o take_v fast_o hold_v spread_v itself_o and_o eat_v into_o the_o reputation_n of_o a_o testimony_n like_o oil_n of_o spike_n spill_v upon_o deal_n board_n this_o ephraim_n i_o perceive_v be_v like_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n nothing_o refine_v by_o his_o baptism_n easy_a to_o believe_v any_o thing_n that_o make_v for_o his_o advantage_n but_o now_o who_o can_v blame_v harris_n or_o gay_n for_o writing_n and_o publish_v ridiculous_a fable_n when_o the_o person_n that_o find_v fault_n shall_v publish_v upon_o ephraim_n being_n bare_o round_v in_o the_o ear_n such_o trivial_a stuff_n as_o this_o which_o only_o denote_v the_o want_n of_o better_a defence_n for_o i_o will_v know_v if_o mr._n l'estrange_n be_v to_o be_v try_v upon_o the_o single_a issue_n see_v at_o mass_n or_o not_o see_v at_o mass_n and_o i_o shall_v come_v and_o swear_v as_o i_o do_v that_o i_o have_v see_v he_o at_o mass_n so_o many_o time_n whether_o report_n and_o hear-sayes_a and_o rounding_n in_o the_o ear_n that_o i_o will_v swear_v this_o or_o that_o which_o i_o do_v not_o hear_v will_v acquit_v he_o for_o if_o i_o think_v and_o as_o i_o remember_v and_o as_o i_o believe_v will_v not_o be_v admit_v into_o a_o oath_n which_o must_v be_v absolute_a as_o i_o be_v certain_o hear-sayes_a and_o report_n and_o rounding_n in_o the_o ear_n will_v be_v as_o little_o admit_v in_o the_o defence_n so_o that_o in_o my_o opinion_n ephraim_n intelligence_n be_v not_o at_o that_o time_n worth_a the_o coffee_n he_o give_v for_o it_o though_o it_o be_v but_o one_o dish_n but_o now_o ephraim_n come_v to_o the_o particular_n of_o the_o report_n and_o say_v ten_o in_o number_n pray_v gentleman_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o consider_v a_o little_a well_o i_o have_v do_v it_o and_o i_o must_v faithful_o declare_v to_o the_o world_n that_o i_o do_v not_o know_v of_o any_o store_n pond_n that_o i_o have_v for_o any_o such_o
