the_o bishop_n himself_o for_o a_o heretic_n but_o when_o i_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v grow_v to_o too_o general_a a_o custom_n for_o author_n to_o make_v large_a and_o specious_a title_n to_o make_v amends_o for_o the_o emptiness_n of_o the_o book_n and_o that_o they_o often_o give_v a_o specimen_fw-la of_o their_o own_o ill_a nature_n than_o of_o any_o real_a error_n they_o discover_v i_o begin_v to_o be_v no_o more_o concern_v at_o the_o title_n than_o i_o be_v at_o the_o mighty_a quotation_n which_o this_o author_n make_v use_v of_o when_o i_o consider_v that_o by_o turn_v to_o the_o index_n of_o the_o paris_n edition_n of_o the_o father_n in_o our_o public_a library_n i_o can_v quote_v as_o much_o and_o as_o little_a to_o the_o purpose_n as_o our_o author_n have_v do_v i_o be_o almost_o apt_a to_o think_v it_o will_v be_v labour_n lose_v to_o run_v through_o his_o whole_a book_n to_o detect_v every_o absurdity_n in_o it_o since_o i_o believe_v those_o who_o have_v read_v the_o preface_n to_o it_o be_v so_o sufficient_o convince_v of_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o author_n that_o they_o can_v not_o think_v it_o worth_a their_o while_n to_o make_v any_o far_a search_n into_o it_o it_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o pity_n that_o the_o letter_n which_o he_o mention_n to_o have_v send_v to_o his_o lordship_n do_v not_o appear_v with_o the_o preface_n for_o certain_o it_o must_v have_v prove_v as_o great_a a_o satire_n upon_o himself_o as_o the_o preface_n appear_v to_o be_v but_o i_o be_o too_o forward_o in_o my_o censure_n for_o if_o you_o will_v believe_v he_o the_o bishop_n be_v mighty_o behold_v to_o he_o for_o his_o gentle_a usage_n of_o he_o and_o for_o not_o divulge_v some_o private_a practice_n which_o upon_o fit_a term_n he_o be_v content_v to_o hush_v up_o at_o present_a and_o therefore_o his_o lordship_n have_v not_o best_o provoke_v he_o and_o think_v of_o return_v a_o answer_n for_o if_o he_o do_v he_o shall_v then_o be_v set_v free_a from_o all_o obligation_n to_o secrecy_n and_o good_a manner_n and_o then_o woe_n betide_v he_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o what_o follow_v viz._n but_o for_o the_o private_a practice_n object_v to_o he_o i_o will_v at_o present_a spare_v he_o and_o if_o his_o lordship_n will_v be_v so_o kind_a to_o himself_o as_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o matter_n shall_v be_v hush_v up_o a_o trifle_a and_o childish_a insinuation_n for_o have_v the_o bishop_n be_v real_o guilty_a of_o any_o such_o private_a practice_n as_o will_v have_v be_v a_o dishonourable_a reflection_n upon_o he_o i_o question_v not_o but_o we_o shall_v have_v hear_v more_o of_o it_o since_o so_o much_o malice_n can_v never_o have_v let_v slip_v so_o fair_a a_o occasion_n without_o make_v the_o best_a improvement_n of_o it_o have_v there_o be_v any_o thing_n more_o that_o can_v have_v advance_v the_o credit_n of_o the_o other_o aspersion_n or_o have_v be_v any_o support_n to_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o cause_n the_o rest_n of_o the_o preface_n be_v of_o the_o same_o piece_n and_o thus_o he_o conclude_v it_o but_o as_o to_o his_o doctrine_n it_o be_v go_v abroad_o and_o can_v

his_o lordship_n the_o most_o public_a recantation_n and_o penance_n and_o suppose_v he_o shall_v be_v oblige_v to_o undergo_v it_o with_o the_o utmost_a severity_n the_o law_n can_v inflict_v he_o may_v remain_v a_o last_a and_o sad_a example_n of_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o all_o libeler_n and_o to_o all_o malicious_a forger_n of_o falsehood_n for_o though_o i_o have_v make_v a_o very_a

one_o of_o those_o charge_n make_v good_a against_o it_o what_o he_o mean_v by_o these_o word_n of_o dishonourable_a reflection_n to_o the_o present_a reign_n i_o can_v guess_v i_o believe_v they_o be_v not_o only_o very_o rude_a but_o such_o a_o malicious_a insinuation_n as_o if_o it_o can_v be_v understand_v deserve_v a_o more_o severe_a answer_n and_o of_o a_o different_a nature_n than_o i_o be_o able_a to_o give_v he_o how_o fair_o and_o brave_o he_o have_v oppose_v any_o thing_n that_o the_o bishop_n have_v say_v or_o rather_o how_o fair_o and_o open_o he_o have_v render_v himself_o contemptible_a be_v now_o high_a time_n to_o consider_v he_o begin_v his_o book_n with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o confidence_n and_o supercilious_a contempt_n that_o he_o have_v two_o thing_n to_o urge_v against_o the_o lord_n bishop_n of_o sarum_n in_o his_o discourse_n on_o the_o divinity_n and_o death_n of_o christ_n 1._o that_o the_o bishop_n very_o defective_o to_o say_v no_o worse_o
