towards_o the_o effect_n of_o reconciliation_n for_o it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o all_o man_n thought_n in_o all_o church_n and_o state_n be_v already_o stir_v up_o and_o wrought_v upon_o in_o

mean_o undertake_v by_o one_o of_o no_o appearance_n or_o despair_v of_o it_o as_o a_o matter_n of_o too_o great_a difficulty_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o unseasonable_a to_o deal_v with_o they_o in_o it_o although_o it_o be_v for_o none_o other_o cause_n then_o to_o rectify_v their_o judgement_n in_o these_o conception_n which_o concern_v both_o the_o manner_n of_o proceed_v which_o be_v think_v to_o

evil_a that_o be_v if_o they_o fear_v either_o the_o effect_n of_o peace_n itself_o or_o my_o person_n and_o negotiation_n in_o it_o than_o it_o be_v most_o of_o all_o not_o seasonable_a only_o but_o even_o necessary_a also_o to_o deal_v with_o they_o that_o their_o needless_a fear_n may_v be_v correct_v and_o better_a impression_n wrought_v upon_o they_o lest_o they_o be_v move_v through_o

entertain_v the_o same_o by_o such_o a_o continuance_n of_o agitation_n in_o this_o matter_n which_o may_v rectify_v the_o evil_a prevent_v the_o worst_a and_o strengthen_v the_o good_a affection_n and_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o seasonableness_n of_o the_o time_n the_o consideration_n of_o the_o place_n be_v of_o no_o small_a moment_n in_o the_o production_n of_o all_o thing_n because_o it_o

for_o the_o agitation_n of_o this_o work_n first_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o situation_n that_o these_o city_n be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o protestant_a state_n and_o most_o convenient_a to_o entertain_v correspondence_n with_o all_o other_o of_o both_o side_n not_o only_o because_o they_o be_v as_o a_o centre_n among_o the_o rest_n but_o chief_o because_o they_o have_v perpetual_a
