on_o the_o business_n mr._n sneak_v what_o can_v you_o do_v in_o the_o first_o place_n sn._n first_o i_o can_v advise_v the_o people_n against_o pay_v their_o tithe_n and_o give_v they_o pretend_a reason_n for_o it_o and_o that_o will_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o set_v the_o minister_n and_o their_o parishioner_n together_o by_o the_o ear_n i_o can_v traduce_v and_o vilify_v they_o between_o jest_n and_o earnest_n and_o fix_v my_o scandal_n upon_o they_o with_o so_o much_o seem_a friendship_n and_o charity_n that_o the_o world_n must_v at_o last_o be_v incline_v to_o believe_v they_o true_a i_o can_v collect_v a_o catalogue_n of_o all_o the_o worst_a man_n in_o their_o church_n and_o have_v they_o ready_a at_o my_o finger_n end_n to_o trump_n up_o upon_o every_o occasion_n to_o their_o disadvantage_n and_o for_o a_o need_n i_o can_v make_v some_o addition_n too_o i_o can_v cunning_o insinuate_v their_o pride_n and_o self-interest_n i_o can_v reproach_v their_o bishop_n revile_v their_o constitution_n and_o defame_v their_o whole_a order_n and_o do_v they_o all_o with_o such_o singular_a hypocrisy_n that_o few_o shall_v suspect_v either_o my_o hatred_n or_o treachery_n upon_o

church_n of_o england_n tend_v direct_o to_o popery_n that_o their_o bow_n to_o the_o altar_n be_v a_o sort_n of_o idolatry_n that_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n be_v the_o true_a budg_n of_o

and_o unwarrantable_a that_o their_o rubric_n and_o common-prayer_n be_v a_o imposition_n and_o unaccountable_a and_o that_o the_o whole_a church_n with_o all_o its_o appendage_n ought_v to_o be_v new_o model_v rectify_v or_o abolish_v in._n this_o be_v very_o well_o too_o now_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o what_o i_o can_v do_v i_o can_v do_v all_o what_o you_o both_o have_v instanced_a with_o

conveniency-sake_n to_o make_v use_n of_o one_o of_o their_o church_n orth._n as_o for_o their_o challenge_n in_o my_o judgement_n they_o ought_v to_o have_v reject_v it_o with_o the_o same_o scorn_n and_o contempt_n as_o a_o nobleman_n shall_v do_v one_o from_o his_o groom_n or_o his_o foor-man_n and_o then_o for_o make_v use_n of_o the_o church_n which_o it_o seem_v be_v a_o arcifice_n of_o they_o too_o all_o the_o consider_a part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n seem_v to_o be_v surprise_v at_o it_o the_o church_n if_o i_o mistake_v not_o be_v a_o place_n consecrate_v to_o divine_a worship_n and_o set_v apart_o for_o the_o solemn_a duty_n of_o religion_n and_o nothing_o else_o but_o then_o to_o open_v the_o door_n to_o a_o mob_n and_o let_v in_o a_o herd_n of_o viperous_a creature_n to_o

my_o part_n pretend_v to_o justify_v the_o thing_n though_o without_o question_n our_o brethren_n proceed_v with_o the_o great_a caution_n and_o regularity_n i_o declare_v i_o be_o for_o condescension_n we_o have_v too_o many_o sad_a instance_n of_o the_o danger_n of_o extreme_n and_o indeed_o we_o have_v â—eason_n enough_o to_o suspect_v that_o if_o we_o shall_v push_v thing_n on_o with_o the_o same_o rigour_n as_o we_o do_v former_o we_o shall_v soon_o spoil_v all_o orth._n i_o do_v apprehend_v what_o you_o call_v rigour_n and_o extreme_n i_o hope_v the_o strict_a performance_n of_o our_o duty_n in_o the_o execution_n of_o our_o office_n and_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o right_n and_o privilege_n of_o our_o church_n can_v never_o deserve_v the_o title_n of_o rigour_n or_o
