sure_a the_o episcopalian_n can_v pretend_v to_o it_o if_o we_o be_v dispose_v so_o to_o employ_v ourselves_o but_o we_o abhor_v to_o ●ake_v in_o such_o a_o dunghill_n we_o can_v muster_v up_o as_o

he_o here_o relate_v and_o therefore_o we_o will_v not_o vie_v with_o he_o in_o the_o talon_n of_o write_v at_o this_o rate_n but_o we_o can_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o his_o party_n have_v no_o cause_n to_o glory_n over_o we_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o freedom_n from_o indecency_n in_o preach_v and_o prayer_n wherefore_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o tendency_n of_o this_o part_n of_o his_o book_n be_v to_o expose_v his_o nation_n to_o the_o contempt_n of_o stranger_n yea_o to_o make_v the_o work_n of_o preach_v ridiculous_a to_o a_o profane_a atheistical_a generation_n who_o

and_o there_o be_v some_o which_o have_v no_o other_o evil_n in_o they_o but_o that_o the_o manner_n of_o expression_n be_v undecent_a and_o too_o mean_v so_o what_o be_v here_o narrate_v be_v not_o equal_a as_o to_o truth_n or_o ground_n and_o occasion_n give_v for_o such_o story_n sometime_o he_o disguise_v what_o be_v true_o say_v and_o put_v it_o in_o another_o dress_n to_o make_v it_o ridiculous_a or_o absurd_a other_o he_o make_v up_o by_o tack_v 2_o or_o 3_o passage_n together_o which_o may_v be_v speak_v at_o diverse_a time_n and_o diverse_a occasion_n and_o little_a harm_n in_o they_o but_o when_o blend_v into_o one_o they_o appear_v odd_a and_o become_v unsavoury_a other_o again_o be_v pure_a fiction_n and_o no_o occasion_n give_v for_o such_o report_n but_o the_o wit_n

of_o this_o author_n and_o his_o collector_n what_o follow_v in_o the_o last_o page_n show_v to_o what_o a_o height_n of_o boldness_n one_o may_v come_v in_o aver_v know_v falsehood_n when_o he_o be_v
