pull_v the_o nut_n out_o of_o the_o fire_n with_o the_o cat_n foot_n but_o both_o the_o action_n and_o design_n be_v whole_o the_o monky_n and_o not_o the_o cat_n be_v and_o this_o gentleman_n make_v

of_o the_o christian_a religion_n but_o he_o do_v it_o after_o such_o a_o yawn_a rate_n that_o you_o will_v believe_v he_o be_v more_o than_o half_a a-sleep_o when_o he_o do_v it_o but_o however_o it_o be_v as_o to_o that_o matter_n yet_o all_o they_o bring_v against_o the_o church_n of_o england_n he_o swallow_v whole_a and_o do_v not_o only_o allow_v but_o improve_v they_o so_o that_o

for_o the_o great_a part_n as_o false_a as_o the_o foundation_n of_o his_o building_n be_v rot_v in_o short_a sir_n say_v he_o it_o be_v a_o discourse_n write_v with_o that_o little_a truth_n and_o

especial_o that_o of_o the_o divinity_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n that_o i_o can_v think_v those_o paper_n can_v deserve_v any_o better_a fate_n than_o to_o expire_v in_o a_o like_a place_n where_o the_o author_n be_v famous_a ancestor_n arius_n do_v and_o sir_n say_v he_o i_o honest_o confess_v to_o you_o that_o those_o i_o have_v of_o they_o have_v sometime_o since_o give_v up_o the_o ghost_n thus_o sir_n you_o have_v hear_v in_o part_n the_o thought_n of_o my_o friend_n upon_o this_o pamphlet_n pray_v now_o before_o we_o go_v any_o further_a what_o be_v your_o thought_n of_o he_o judas_n why_o true_o sir_n to_o deal_v plain_o with_o you_o i_o think_v he_o a_o priestridden_a ass_n one_o that_o have_v more_o ear_n than_o brain_n that_o hear_v and_o receive_v whatsoever_o the_o priest_n please_v to_o put_v into_o his_o head_n and_o have_v no_o judgement_n to_o distinguish_v of_o thing_n but_o as_o for_o my_o friend_n the_o author_n of_o this_o pamphlet_n so_o i_o call_v he_o for_o so_o he_o be_v i_o think_v he_o next_o the_o honourable_a s._n r._n h._n the_o best_a distinguisher_n in_o the_o world_n he_o have_v that_o acumen_fw-la ingenii_n from_o his_o infancy_n that_o he_o be_v use_v to_o slit_v mote_n in_o the_o sun_n when_o he_o be_v but_o four_o year_n old_a and_o now_o he_o be_v above_o threescore_o he_o can_v he_o say_v slit_v a_o hair_n without_o spectacle_n in_o short_a sir_n i_o believe_v that_o you_o can_v but_o see_v that_o he_o have_v distinguish_v so_o nice_o between_o religion_n and_o priest-craft_n that_o he_o have_v make_v all_o ambitious_a priest_n to_o stink_v even_o from_o aaron_n down_o to_o this_o day_n and_o have_v turn_v the_o edge_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n caution_n to_o young_a traveller_n page_n 5_o so_o sharp_o against_o their_o own_o throat_n that_o he_o have_v distinguish_v they_o forever_o out_o of_o their_o gain_n that_o way_n by_o make_v it_o plain_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v as_o many_o holy_a cheat_n among_o the_o clergy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o among_o those_o of_o rome_n and_o now_o sir_n since_o you_o have_v have_v my_o judgement_n so_o free_o of_o your_o friend_n pray_v let_v i_o have_v you_o so_o of_o i_o and_o of_o his_o discourse_n tim._n i_o will_v sir_n as_o far_o as_o concern_v the_o church_n of_o england_n but_o no_o far_o let_v other_o answer_v for_o themselves_o and_o i_o will_v do_v it_o only_o on_o this_o supposition_n too_o that_o when_o i_o charge_v this_o author_n with_o what_o be_v say_v against_o the_o church_n of_o england_n you_o do_v not_o reply_v that_o it_o be_v say_v by_o this_o or_o other_o deist_n and_o not_o by_o he_o for_o beside_o that_o this_o will_v breed_v a_o endless_a confusion_n in_o our_o discourse_n if_o the_o charge_n that_o be_v make_v against_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v answer_v it_o matter_n not_o under_o who_o name_n it_o be_v do_v but_o i_o can_v think_v of_o a_o just_a way_n than_o do_v it_o under_o this_o

not_o think_v therefore_o sir_n that_o in_o the_o judgement_n i_o shall_v give_v of_o and_o answer_v i_o shall_v make_v to_o this_o pamphlet_n that_o like_o a_o gladiator_n i_o will_v go_v to_o

make_v against_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v direct_v by_o this_o author_n hand_n or_o be_v the_o argument_n who_o they_o will_v the_o malice_n it_o be_v plain_a be_v pure_o he_o judas_n i_o do_v not_o know_v sir_n how_o my_o friend_n may_v like_v this_o deal_v but_o if_o you_o will_v not_o be_v lead_v i_o can_v drive_v you_o you_o must_v take_v your_o own_o way_n tim._n then_o sir_n to_o what_o you_o say_v last_o i_o reply_v that_o notwithstanding_o what_o this_o author_n have_v say_v bless_a be_v god_n the_o throat_n of_o the_o clergy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v

pray_v what_o then_o sir_n must_v a_o young_a traveller_n think_v now_o upon_o his_o return_n of_o the_o deist_n when_o he_o shall_v read_v their_o bitter_a and_o malicious_a invective_n also_o

that_o there_o be_v knaves-craft_n as_o well_o as_o priest-craft_n and_o that_o deism_n be_v as_o very_o a_o cheat_n as_o they_o say_v the_o christianity_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v in_o short_a sir_n our_o young_a traveller_n see_v all_o christian_a church_n explode_v by_o these_o man_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n observe_v so_o much_o malice_n and_o bitterness_n in_o their_o

and_o leave_v they_o all_o once_o more_o sir_n what_o if_o our_o young_a traveller_n upon_o his_o return_n shall_v find_v a_o army_n of_o factious_a republican_n in_o rebellion_n against_o the_o

government_n and_o governor_n be_v cheat_n both_o alike_o will_v he_o conclude_v that_o as_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o zealous_a contest_v between_o archbishop_n laud_n on_o the_o one_o part_n and_o the_o presbyterian_a kirk_n on_o the_o other_o he_o will_v be_v of_o no_o religion_n so_o by_o reason_n of_o these_o controversy_n between_o the_o king_n and_o the_o people_n he_o will_v live_v under_o no_o government_n will_v he_o therefore_o betake_v himself_o as_o if_o this_o man_n argument_n be_v good_a he_o must_v to_o hobbs_n his_o natural_a state_n of_o independency_n and_o like_o a_o
