in_o come_v out_o the_o other_o be_v that_o i_o have_v abuse_v you_o in_o it_o the_o first_o of_o these_o complaint_n be_v a_o very_a pleasant_a one_o in_o my_o last_o letter_n to_o you_o i_o tell_v

in_o my_o answer_n to_o the_o vindication_n of_o the_o nubes_fw-la testium_fw-la resolve_v to_o give_v a_o answer_n also_o to_o your_o challenge_n this_o be_v the_o true_a state_n of_o that_o

such_o wretched_a stuff_n as_o know_v very_o well_o that_o the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n do_v never_o practice_n invocation_n of_o saint_n and_o that_o the_o creed_n do_v no_o more_o teach_v it_o than_o the_o worship_v of_o idol_n or_o transubstantiation_n but_o you_o be_v one_o of_o those_o that_o so_o you_o may_v but_o gain_v your_o end_n of_o fright_v people_n to_o continue_v with_o or_o come_v over_o to_o you_o never_o boggle_v at_o the_o most_o unjust_a and_o the_o most_o absurd_a mean_n of_o do_v it_o i_o do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o wonder_n at_o your_o talk_n at_o this_o extravagant_a rate_n i_o can_v but_o remember_v that_o you_o appear_v with_o the_o same_o confident_a bluster_a in_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o forge_v 35th_o sermon_n of_o st._n austin_n that_o you_o make_v as_o much_o noise_n and_o talk_v to_o the_o protestant_a peer_n with_o as_o much_o assurance_n as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v the_o certain_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n that_o the_o sermon_n be_v

have_v not_o leave_v the_o 18_o sermon_n the_o sancth_v as_o doubtful_a never_o be_v cause_n manage_v with_o more_o impudence_n and_o more_o forgery_n and_o yet_o after_o all_o your_o confidence_n at_o first_o and_o bluster_a throughout_o it_o be_v drop_v as_o quiet_o as_o if_o no_o such_o thing_n have_v ever_o be_v and_o in_o your_o new_a defence_n not_o a_o syllable_n of_o it_o or_o in_o

about_o invocation_n that_o have_v i_o not_o have_v the_o opportunity_n of_o tack_v it_o to_o my_o defence_n of_o the_o answer_n to_o the_o nubes_fw-la testium_fw-la i_o shall_v never_o have_v trouble_v the_o world_n or_o myself_o with_o it_o and_o when_o i_o have_v persuade_v myself_o to_o answer_v that_o challenge_n it_o be_v my_o next_o care_n to_o mak●_n it_o as_o useful_a to_o the_o
