i_o know_v not_o but_o all_o this_o grant_v yet_o it_o be_v but_o little_a that_o you_o grant_v to_o pope_n and_o prelate_n for_o you_o say_v they_o be_v a_o part_n and_o the_o eminent_a member_n that_o be_v somewhat_o but_o you_o add_v and_o indeed_o can_v not_o avoid_v it_o by_o your_o ground_n pag._n 333._o in_o proportion_n to_o their_o number_n and_o what_o be_v that_o among_o so_o many_o

promise_v you_o very_o mathematical_o and_o scientifical_o as_o great_a a_o enemy_n as_o you_o take_v i_o to_o science_n to_o examine_v all_o your_o ground_n and_o to_o make_v it_o appear_v clear_o to_o yourself_o if_o possible_a but_o to_o all_o man_n that_o have_v but_o eye_n and_o ear_n to_o use_v your_o own_o expression_n that_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o contrary_a to_o the_o course_n of_o

and_o it_o be_v more_o probable_a papist_n and_o protestant_n in_o general_n however_o it_o be_v apparent_a you_o do_v brag_v and_o vapour_n egregious_o as_o if_o you_o intend_v to_o put_v your_o

indeed_o suspect_v i_o say_v no_o more_o but_o i_o will_v not_o stand_v upon_o that_o you_o be_v no_o friend_n to_o ancient_a book_n or_o learning_n true_o sir_n i_o think_v a_o man_n may_v gather_v so_o much_o by_o your_o own_o word_n and_o profession_n what_o mean_v you_o else_o when_o you_o so_o often_o tell_v we_o of_o wordish_a learning_n aicry_v descant_n and_o discourse_n knack_n of_o

of_o true_a learning_n but_o impatient_a to_o see_v how_o much_o it_o be_v wrong_v by_o many_o false_a pretender_n which_o be_v true_a enough_o yet_o if_o father_n and_o mother_n of_o family_n who_o i_o think_v general_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o much_o learning_n be_v able_a and_o sufffcient_a nay_o the_o only_a sure_a mean_n appoint_v by_o god_n to_o preserve_v truth_n in_o matter_n of_o

which_o we_o divine_v at_o least_o call_v learning_n that_o such_o book_n in_o great_a library_n take_v up_o most_o part_n of_o the_o room_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o say_v a_o man_n may_v read_v they_o for_o his_o recreation_n if_o he_o will_v and_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o burn_v they_o you_o need_v to_o say_v no_o more_o but_o that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o they_o what_o will_v follow_v shall_v you_o be_v believe_v general_o by_o man_n in_o authority_n any_o man_n may_v foresee_v without_o the_o gift_n of_o prophecy_n in_o this_o age_n especial_o so_o much_o addict_v to_o

several_a class_n and_o sentiment_n of_o they_o so_o divide_v i_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o quarrel_v at_o or_o examine_v because_o it_o be_v not_o much_o to_o the_o purpose_n or_o main_a business_n that_o many_o deserve_v no_o better_o then_o to_o be_v burn_v even_o of_o they_o that_o fill_v catalogue_n and_o library_n i_o shall_v easy_o yield_v so_o it_o be_v do_v by_o they_o that_o can_v

have_v bring_v many_o a_o curse_n upon_o the_o abbreviator_n among_o they_o that_o deserve_v to_o be_v burn_v it_o will_v not_o much_o trouble_v i_o if_o dr._n dee_n tedious_a legend_n about_o his_o

in_o they_o so_o much_o of_o the_o humour_n and_o language_n of_o the_o time_n as_o that_o he_o think_v many_o will_v be_v convince_v by_o the_o book_n from_o whence_o either_o cant_v language_n and_o
