then_o for_o our_o comfort_n neither_o of_o they_o be_v true_a church_n of_o england_n man_n though_o they_o be_v both_o bishop_n and_o one_o of_o they_o no_o less_o than_o primate_n of_o all_o

tell_v we_o she_o find_v so_o easy_a in_o the_o scripture_n that_o she_o wonder_v she_o have_v be_v so_o long_o without_o find_v they_o he_o will_v needs_o fall_v into_o dispute_n with_o she_o about_o they_o though_o he_o know_v before_o hand_n that_o she_o will_v not_o dispute_v with_o he_o this_o be_v a_o kind_a of_o petition_n to_o she_o that_o she_o will_v permit_v he_o to_o make_v that_o difficult_a which_o she_o find_v easy_a for_o every_o thing_n become_v hard_a by_o chap_a logic_n upon_o it_o i_o be_o sure_a enough_o that_o the_o wall_n before_o i_o be_v white_a and_o that_o i_o can_v go_v to_o it_o but_o put_v i_o once_o upon_o unriddle_a sophism_n i_o shall_v not_o be_v satisfy_v of_o what_o colour_n the_o wall_n be_v nor_o how_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o i_o to_o stir_v

unprejudiced_a sincerity_n in_o their_o heart_n and_o docility_n in_o their_o understanding_n seek_v to_o bend_v their_o judgement_n to_o what_o they_o find_v not_o what_o they_o find_v to_o their_o judgement_n more_o i_o believe_v will_v find_v thing_n as_o easy_a as_o she_o do_v and_o give_v the_o answerer_n more_o frequent_a occasion_n for_o his_o derision_n of_o a_o willing_a mind_n but_o not_o to_o dilate_v on_o that_o matter_n i_o presume_v he_o will_v not_o pretend_v by_o his_o dispute_v to_o make_v any_o thing_n plain_o appear_v against_o she_o if_o he_o can_v let_v he_o do_v it_o and_o end_v controversy_n in_o a_o moment_n for_o every_o one_o can_v see_v plain_a thing_n and_o all_o christian_n must_v be_v conclude_v by_o the_o scripture_n but_o he_o know_v well_o enough_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n to_o be_v perform_v a_o mist_n may_v be_v raise_v and_o interpose_v through_o which_o the_o eye_n shall_v not_o discern_v what_o otherwise_o it_o will_v if_o nothing_o

the_o answerer_n be_v so_o earnest_a upon_o the_o whole_a his_o mortal_a quarrel_n to_o the_o duchess_n be_v that_o she_o will_v not_o become_v a_o experiment_n of_o the_o perfection_n to_o which_o

his_o bishop_n have_v reflect_v a_o scandal_n on_o his_o church_n by_o their_o discourse_n with_o the_o duchess_n he_o ought_v to_o have_v proceed_v a_o more_o reasonable_a way_n than_o to_o
