must_v beseech_v our_o gracious_a sovereign_n for_o we_o other_o must_v again_o undeceive_v the_o good_a though_o delude_v multitude_n therefore_o all_o be_v to_o remember_v who_o be_v the_o prime_a

out_o of_o all_o measure_n increase_v because_o we_o have_v be_v you_o and_o so_o shall_v continue_v even_o in_o the_o fiery_a day_n of_o trial_n protect_v we_o we_o entreat_v you_o then_o upon_o

the_o reason_n therein_o have_v nothing_o but_o truth_n and_o reality_n in_o they_o satisfy_v many_o for_o every_o body_n of_o themselves_o see_v there_o be_v no_o ground_n and_o most_o confess_v they_o be_v disorder_v because_o they_o see_v other_o so_o it_o be_v after_o christmas_n before_o i_o leave_v london_n and_o true_o i_o suppose_v that_o if_o any_o body_n can_v be_v so_o malicious_o

difficulty_n themselves_o after_o christmas_n reader_n as_o i_o say_v before_o i_o not_o only_o go_v out_o of_o town_n but_o have_v ever_o since_o be_v many_o score_n of_o mile_n distant_a from_o it_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n i_o see_v not_o this_o answer_n so_o soon_o as_o otherwise_o i_o shall_v have_v do_v at_o last_o it_o be_v send_v i_o by_o a_o protestant_a gentleman_n who_o have_v see_v the_o apology_n before_o it_o be_v print_v when_o i_o have_v read_v it_o i_o begin_v to_o admire_v not_o only_o at_o the_o malice_n of_o the_o thing_n but_o also_o at_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o man_n that_o thus_o needless_o take_v up_o the_o cudgel_n who_o the_o author_n be_v to_o this_o day_n i_o know_v not_o nor_o can_v any_o man_n desire_v his_o acquaintance_n unless_o it_o be_v to_o say_v they_o have_v see_v the_o eight_o wise_a man_n i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v a_o man_n of_o wit_n but_o nevertheless_o i_o be_o sure_a he_o be_v neither_o of_o judgement_n nor_o principle_n for_o have_v he_o be_v a_o royallist_n he_o will_v have_v have_v more_o gratitude_n and_o good_a nature_n then_o to_o have_v forget_v faithful_a friend_n in_o a_o storm_n and_o add_v as_o he_o hope_v fuel_n to_o the_o flame_n when_o we_o be_v underhand_o bespattred_a by_o enemy_n to_o we_o both_o nor_o be_v there_o any_o drift_n in_o the_o apology_n but_o to_o settle_v a_o distemper_n raise_v without_o either_o cause_n or_o reason_n a_o presbyterian_a i_o can_v never_o think_v he_o because_o they_o be_v man_n of_o depth_n and_o prudence_n know_v that_o the_o effect_n of_o their_o cry_n against_o papist_n in_o 1640._o be_v too_o fresh_a in_o memory_n nor_o can_v it_o be_v a_o advantage_n for_o they_o to_o harass_n man_n conscience_n while_o their_o own_o be_v within_o reach_n of_o law_n i_o can_v also_o as_o little_a fancy_n that_o a_o independent_a or_o any_o real_a member_n of_o that_o many-headed_a and_o uncompacted_a body_n can_v sober_o by_o write_v wish_v a_o persecution_n for_o religion_n be_v themselves_o obnoxious_a upon_o all_o account_n and_o if_o severity_n shall_v universal_o fall_v they_o can_v imagine_v but_o that_o man_n of_o birth_n man_n of_o breed_n man_n of_o loyalty_n must_v needs_o at_o all_o time_n find_v more_o friend_n than_o they_o who_o he_o be_v god_n know_v a_o man_n of_o principle_n as_o i_o say_v i_o be_o sure_a he_o be_v not_o nor_o do_v i_o doubt_v but_o his_o officiousness_n will_v at_o last_o find_v its_o reward_n and_o since_o he_o have_v call_v i_o turk_n and_o worse_o as_o you_o shall_v see_v by_o and_o by_o i_o suppose_v he_o will_v not_o take_v it_o amiss_o if_o i_o speak_v my_o thought_n viz._n that_o though_o he_o carp_v in_o a_o minister_n dialect_n yet_o doubtless_o he_o be_v a_o jew_n of_o the_o duke_n place_n reader_n when_o i_o receive_v this_o answer_n both_o by_o my_o letter_n and_o friend_n near_o i_o i_o be_v persuade_v not_o to_o reply_v because_o it_o have_v no_o force_n
