to_o be_v reprove_v by_o he_o and_o who_o will_v answer_v all_o his_o grave_a advice_n with_o scorn_n and_o rage_n but_o then_o that_o man_n ought_v if_o he_o have_v any_o zeal_n for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n to_o inform_v the_o magistrate_n of_o what_o he_o have_v see_v and_o hear_v and_o show_v his_o own_o zeal_n by_o give_v they_o a_o opportunity_n of_o exercise_v they_o he_o ought_v

may_v feel_v how_o they_o bear_v it_o not_o in_o vain_a this_o be_v what_o many_o among_o we_o have_v of_o late_o do_v with_o very_o great_a success_n and_o therefore_o what_o i_o can_v but_o recommend_v to_o all_o as_o the_o most_o effectual_a mean_n of_o entire_o root_n out_o all_o gross_a immorality_n and_o public_a vice_n especial_o those_o more_o heinous_a one_o i_o have_v so_o

be_v sometime_o take_v up_o by_o man_n of_o blast_v reputation_n upon_o the_o base_a motive_n and_o manage_v in_o the_o most_o disingenuous_a manner_n when_o we_o see_v a_o man_n accuse_v other_o of_o a_o crime_n whereof_o he_o be_v himself_o more_o guilty_a and_o that_o not_o out_o of_o remorse_n of_o conscience_n or_o zeal_n to_o have_v criminal_n punish_v but_o in_o hope_n of_o favour_n and_o

our_o governor_n and_o magistrate_n with_o those_o blasphemy_n and_o oath_n which_o be_v often_o vent_v in_o public_a and_o those_o other_o instance_n of_o lewdness_n and_o immorality_n which_o be_v overtact_n of_o treason_n and_o rebellion_n against_o god._n in_o such_o case_n it_o be_v our_o duty_n and_o we_o shall_v reckon_v it_o our_o glory_n to_o be_v informer_n since_o god_n himself_o at_o the_o last_o day_n will_v increase_v our_o honour_n for_o be_v thus_o instrumental_a in_o vindicate_a his._n it_o be_v true_a the_o enemy_n of_o religion_n have_v be_v and_o still_o be_v very_o loud_o in_o their_o clamour_n against_o this_o practice_n and_o do_v with_o great_a industry_n throw_v a_o odium_n on_o those_o who_o make_v conscience_n of_o inform_v against_o they_o but_o they_o have_v especial_o raise_v a_o mighty_a cry_n of_o injustice_n against_o that_o manner_n of_o inform_v which_o be_v find_v necessary_a to_o restrain_v profane_a curse_v and_o swear_v that_o be_v when_o the_o
