stuff_n i_o hope_v not_o christ_n may_v indeed_o when_o he_o please_v commissionate_a his_o true_a live_a member_n to_o do_v he_o such_o service_n as_o you_o intimate_v but_o for_o all_o that_o if_o

do_v not_o the_o cathedral_n and_o collegiate_n church_n do_v not_o million_o of_o the_o people_n public_o own_o and_o profess_v it_o under_o the_o hatch_n than_o it_o be_v not_o at_o least_o not_o

suppose_v also_o that_o he_o have_v venture_v to_o publish_v that_o book_n after_o the_o king_n return_v it_o have_v be_v strange_a impudence_n you_o will_v say_v but_o the_o doctor_n apology_n have_v

of_o the_o number_n if_o he_o read_v the_o whole_a paragraph_n wherefore_o i_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o english_a church_n of_o which_o i_o profess_v myself_o a_o member_n but_o of_o such_o fault_n of_o the_o reform_a church_n in_o general_a whether_o common_a to_o they_o all_o or_o not_o as_o occur_v to_o my_o mind_n the_o english_a church_n then_o disappear_v both_o in_o such_o a_o

nor_o can_v they_o be_v fix_v on_o our_o english_a church_n since_o the_o thing_n that_o i_o allege_v be_v incompetible_a to_o she_o as_o i_o have_v prove_v in_o my_o vindication_n of_o she_o a_o

ourselves_o not_o to_o have_v emerge_v quite_o out_o of_o the_o general_a apostasy_n of_o the_o church_n argue_v not_o a_o suspicion_n that_o our_o church_n be_v still_o in_o that_o apostasy_n what_o consequence_n be_v this_o where_o the_o expression_n run_v not_o parallel_v have_v the_o doctor_n say_v we_o may_v suspect_v ourselves_o not_o quite_o emerge_v out_o of_o the_o general_a crime_n of_o

by_o his_o leave_n he_o have_v give_v just_a occasion_n to_o suspect_v that_o he_o himself_o be_v not_o quite_o free_a from_o idolatry_n again_o whereas_o he_o say_v i_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o

more_o for_o his_o ease_n and_o safety_n to_o speak_v in_o a_o contrary_a strain_n and_o mighty_o to_o extol_v this_o church_n what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o purpose_n if_o he_o do_v let_v he_o prove_v it_o for_o i_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o believe_v otherwise_o beside_o it_o be_v not_o very_o probable_a that_o he_o profess_v himself_o a_o member_n of_o that_o church_n which_o to_o he_o appear_v not_o but_o be_v whole_o out_o of_o sight_n and_o political_o dead_a as_o vain_a be_v that_o which_o follow_v viz._n that_o he_o speak_v of_o such_o fault_n of_o the_o reform_a church_n in_o

his_o 6_o section_n but_o whereas_o he_o profess_v that_o his_o thought_n can_v not_o be_v fix_v upon_o the_o english_a church_n i_o expect_v he_o will_v have_v give_v her_o disappearance_n and_o

the_o sport_n still_o be_v that_o he_o refer_v we_o not_o to_o his_o mystery_n which_o be_v the_o sole_a subject_n of_o our_o controversy_n but_o to_o his_o vindication_n publish_v divers_a year_n
