that_o examination_n and_o this_o appendix_n the_o be_v be_v to_o charge_v the_o dr._n with_o say_v what_o he_o never_o say_v and_o then_o to_o be_v sure_a they_o must_v have_v a_o great_a measure_n of_o dulness_n if_o they_o can_v confute_v what_o they_o invent_v on_o purpose_n to_o be_v confute_v the_o bookseller_n have_v the_o confidence_n to_o tell_v his_o reader_n that_o the_o dr._n will_v be_v think_v to_o have_v first_o set_v afoot_n the_o collection_n and_o yet_o the_o dr._n in_o word_n as_o full_a as_o can_v be_v desire_v have_v plain_o imply_v the_o contrary_a for_o he_o tell_v we_o the_o book_n have_v not_o of_o late_o be_v bring_v into_o the_o library_n which_o be_v a_o manifest_a proof_n that_o he_o believe_v himself_o and_o will_v have_v his_o reader_n suppose_v that_o they_o have_v former_o be_v bring_v in_o according_a to_o the_o act._n for_o the_o act_n commence_v soon_o after_o the_o restauration_n of_o k._n charles_n ii_o the_o book_n therefore_o may_v have_v be_v gather_v for_o many_o year_n and_o yet_o of_o late_o have_v be_v neglect_v we_o have_v one_o plain_a falsehood_n then_o in_o the_o bookseller_n representation_n of_o this_o matter_n and_o we_o shall_v present_o have_v another_o for_o he_o talk_v of_o the_o dr_n set_v afoot_n the_o collection_n and_o his_o project_n of_o have_v the_o book_n collect_v for_o so_o say_v he_o the_o d_z will_v have_v we_o understand_v he_o how_o the_o gentleman_n of_o the_o half-moon_n be_v use_v to_o understand_v the_o dr_n write_n the_o world_n be_v now_o pretty_a well_o satisfy_v but_o if_o i_o may_v measure_v other_o reader_n from_o myself_o i_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o affirm_v that_o not_o one_o of_o they_o can_v put_v that_o construction_n upon_o the_o dr_n word_n unless_o he_o either_o careless_o read_v he_o or_o wilful_o misrepresent_v he_o for_o the_o dr._n who_o word_n i_o have_v cite_v above_o have_v not_o a_o syllable_n about_o collect_v in_o all_o that_o passage_n he_o only_o say_v the_o book_n have_v not_o be_v bring_v into_o the_o library_n which_o be_v true_a beyong_a contradiction_n but_o whether_o some_o or_o all_o of_o the_o book_n have_v be_v collect_v from_o the_o several_a bookseller_n and_o lay_v up_o in_o the_o stationer_n warehouse_n that_o be_v more_o than_o he_o can_v pretend_v to_o know_v he_o find_v they_o be_v not_o in_o the_o royal_a library_n and_o like_o a_o honest_a and_o careful_a man_n he_o do_v the_o duty_n of_o his_o place_n and_o take_v care_n to_o see_v they_o lodge_v there_o and_o without_o such_o a_o care_n they_o may_v have_v lie_v long_o enough_o before_o the_o king_n library_n have_v be_v the_o rich_a for_o they_o but_o beside_o all_o this_o it_o will_v appear_v present_o that_o all_o the_o book_n which_o be_v print_v from_o june_n 93_o to_o april_n 94._o might_n even_o be_v uncollected_a as_o well_o as_o not_o bring_v in_o till_o the_o dr._n demand_v they_o after_o two_o such_o notorious_a stretch_n that_o the_o bookseller_n have_v make_v here_o in_o represent_v the_o dr_n word_n we_o may_v easy_o guess_v what_o will_v become_v of_o the_o rest_n of_o what_o he_o have_v bring_v on_o this_o head_n he_o attempt_v to_o prove_v that_o no_o such_o discourse_n i.e._n when_o the_o dr._n say_v he_o ask_v mr._n bennet_n to_o give_v his_o share_n of_o book_n to_o the_o king_n library_n and_o mr._n bennet_n refuse_v it_o can_v happen_v between_o the_o dr._n and_o he_o because_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o beadle_n that_o mr._n bennet_n comply_v to_o give_v his_o share_n without_o any_o dispute_n whatsoever_o july_n 13_o 1693._o which_o be_v before_o the_o dr._n be_v nominate_v to_o his_o office_n p._n 116._o and_o the_o act_n of_o print_v expire_a about_o april_n or_o may_v 1693._o after_o that_o time_n no_o body_n can_v pretend_v to_o demand_v arrear_n from_o particular_a bookseller_n i_o must_v confess_v if_o i_o have_v not_o be_v pretty_a well_o acquaint_v with_o the_o half-moon_n sincerity_n i_o shall_v have_v think_v this_o argument_n a_o strong_a one_o and_o very_o pinch_v upon_o the_o dr._n but_o beign_v full_o persuade_v from_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o management_n that_o this_o too_o be_v all_o of_o a_o piece_n i_o begin_v to_o cast_v about_o if_o i_o can_v find_v any_o flaw_n in_o the_o proof_n and_o see_v the_o main_a of_o it_o depend_v upon_o the_o act_n of_o printing_n expire_a in_o may_n 1693_o i_o fancy_v the_o deceit_n must_v needs_o lie_v in_o that_o particular_a i_o know_v my_o reader_n will_v think_v now_o that_o this_o be_v a_o very_a unlikely_a guest_n of_o i_o for_o how_o be_v it_o credible_a that_o they_o will_v falsify_v a_o act_n of_o parliament_n where_o any_o body_n that_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o examine_v the_o matter_n may_v easy_o discover_v the_o cheat_n this_o i_o own_o be_v something_o choke_v for_o i_o argue_v so_o to_o myself_o at_o that_o time_n but_o however_o since_o it_o come_v into_o my_o way_n i_o be_v resolve_v to_o consult_v keeble_n upon_o the_o statute_n for_o print_v and_o there_o i_o find_v keeble_n statute_n p._n 1658._o that_o the_o act_n of_o printing_n when_o it_o be_v last_o revive_v commence_v from_o the_o 13_o of_o february_n 169_o 2_o 3_o and_o from_o thence_o continue_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o next_o session_n of_o parliament_n which_o be_v may_n 1694._o let_v the_o reader_n now_o reflect_v a_o little_a upon_o the_o impudence_n of_o this_o bookseller_n and_o those_o that_o assist_v he_o who_o rather_o than_o say_v nothing_o against_o dr._n bentley_n will_v tell_v thus_o in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o sun_n the_o most_o palpable_a falsehood_n the_o act_n of_o printing_n say_v he_o expire_v in_o april_n or_o may_n 1693._o therefore_o the_o dr._n can_v not_o demand_v book_n of_o i_o after_o that_o time_n as_o he_o say_v he_o do_v upon_o that_o act_n of_o printing_n but_o the_o contrary_a of_o this_o sir_n be_v most_o evident_a from_o the_o act_n itself_o for_o it_o do_v not_o expire_v till_o may_n 1694._o and_o the_o dr._n say_v that_o he_o demand_v the_o book_n of_o you_o after_o be_v be_v nominate_v to_o the_o library-keeper_n office_n and_o before_o his_o patent_n be_v finish_v that_o be_v as_o you_o yourself_o calculate_v it_o mr._n ben._n p._n 113._o sometime_o between_o december_n 23d_o 93_o and_o april_n 18_o 94_o so_o that_o he_o demand_v the_o book_n of_o you_o while_o the_o statute_n be_v in_o force_n and_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o he_o do_v real_o demand_v they_o of_o you_o both_o because_o it_o become_v one_o in_o his_o place_n to_o do_v so_o and_o because_o he_o make_v the_o same_o demand_n upon_o some_o other_o bookseller_n at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o because_o you_o do_v not_o offer_v to_o disprove_v it_o withiout_n tell_v such_o manifest_a untruth_n as_o all_o the_o world_n may_v discover_v but_o you_o think_v it_o utter_o incredible_a that_o you_o shall_v deny_v the_o book_n to_o the_o king_n library_n upon_o dr._n b_n ask_v when_o you_o have_v grant_v they_o without_o any_o dispute_n to_o the_o beadle_n why_o true_o sir_n as_o you_o by_o falsify_v a_o act_n of_o parliament_n have_v state_v this_o matter_n there_o appear_v some_o reason_n on_o your_o side_n for_o you_o make_v the_o dr._n and_o the_o beadle_n demand_v they_o at_o or_o near_o the_o same_o time_n but_o as_o mr._n keeble_n have_v assist_v we_o to_o put_v the_o case_n true_o there_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o improbable_a in_o the_o dr_n account_n of_o this_o story_n for_o you_o may_v deliver_v some_o book_n in_o june_n 1693._o to_o the_o beadle_n and_o yet_o your_o opinion_n or_o your_o humour_n may_v be_v change_v before_o april_n 18_o 1694._o you_o say_v the_o discourse_n that_o the_o dr._n put_v in_o your_o mouth_n be_v all_o over_o so_o absurd_a and_o senseless_a p._n 118._o that_o no_o body_n that_o know_v you_o will_v think_v you_o capable_a of_o it_o but_o for_o i_o that_o do_v not_o know_v you_o otherwise_o than_o from_o your_o share_n in_o this_o controversy_n you_o will_v excuse_v i_o if_o i_o think_v you_o capable_a of_o it_o because_o i_o find_v you_o actual_o guilty_a of_o worse_a and_o i_o persuade_v myself_o that_o every_o body_n else_o if_o he_o take_v your_o character_n as_o i_o do_v from_o the_o paper_n that_o carry_v your_o name_n will_v be_v of_o my_o opinion_n as_o for_o that_o honourable_a gentleman_n
