next_o paragraph_n where_o he_o give_v his_o brother_n mr._n h_o ry_o high_a encomium_n for_o his_o very_a modest_a and_o ingenious_a attempt_n in_o his_o book_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o schism_n notwithstanding_o which_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o the_o war_n and_o fight_n irretate_v by_o they_o against_o the_o church_n proceed_v from_o their_o lust_n which_o will_v be_v at_o a_o end_n where_o they_o entire_o subject_a to_o reason_n and_o virtue_n as_o the_o gospel_n require_v in_o p._n 4._o this_o gent._n will_v induce_v we_o to_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v well_o skill_a in_o some_o strange_a art_n for_o he_o say_v that_o i_o be_o a_o furious_a zealot_n and_o a_o debauchee_n and_o that_o he_o know_v by_o the_o complexion_n of_o my_o book_n this_o gent._n may_v take_v the_o liberty_n to_o censure_v i_o for_o a_o furious_a zealot_n because_o i_o have_v in_o my_o former_a paper_n affirm_v the_o dissenter_n in_o england_n to_o be_v schismatic_n i_o do_v with_o the_o poor_a publican_n cry_v god_n be_v merciful_a to_o i_o a_o sinner_n but_o there_o be_v not_o a_o jota_fw-la in_o that_o paper_n which_o in_o the_o least_o tend_v to_o debauchery_n in_o p._n 5._o he_o be_v very_o angry_a that_o i_o give_v the_o title_n of_o pious_a and_o learned_a to_o our_o episcopal_a clergy_n etc._n etc._n and_o he_o say_v that_o i_o call_v the_o dissenter_n fool_n and_o schismaty_n and_o be_v at_o a_o great_a expense_n of_o rhetoric_n upon_o i_o for_o these_o i_o can_v mention_v our_o episcopal_a clergy_n without_o reverence_n they_o be_v the_o steward_n of_o the_o manifold_a mystery_n of_o god_n and_o minister_n of_o reconciliation_n and_o tho'_o my_o call_v they_o by_o those_o title_n contribute_v not_o a_o mite_n to_o their_o worth_n yet_o it_o be_v my_o duty_n to_o give_v the_o title_n due_a to_o they_o especial_o in_o a_o paper_n i_o intend_v to_o publish_v i_o say_v indeed_o the_o folly_n and_o schism_n of_o our_o dissenter_n have_v be_v clear_o evince_v etc._n etc._n it_o be_v a_o ordinary_a way_n in_o speak_v to_o join_v the_o word_n folly_n with_o a_o crime_n and_o so_o by_o folly_n and_o schism_n i_o intend_v no_o more_o than_o the_o folly_n of_o schism_n one_o act_n of_o folly_n denominate_v not_o a_o fool_n but_o if_o this_o gent._n will_v misconstrue_v and_o pervert_v my_o word_n and_o thereby_o proclaim_v himself_o and_o his_o fellow_n dissenter_n fool_n as_o well_o as_o schismatic_n it_o be_v out_o of_o my_o power_n to_o help_v indeed_o these_o be_v not_o worth_a a_o man_n notice_n only_o to_o show_v that_o this_o gentleman_n temper_n be_v too_o peevish_a for_o the_o gospel_n who_o at_o such_o little_a thing_n so_o causless_o take_v a_o occasion_n to_o cavil_v the_o next_o thing_n he_o quarrel_n at_o be_v in_o p._n 6._o
