your_o own_o amanuensis_fw-la write_v it_o whilst_o mr._n g_o stay_v at_o least_o i_o be_o confident_a that_o it_o be_v not_o set_v down_o by_o consent_n and_o therefore_o not_o according_a to_o that_o law_n which_o you_o have_v observe_v in_o the_o former_a disputation_n however_o i_o must_v ingenuous_o confess_v as_o i_o have_v do_v already_o that_o this_o point_n be_v not_o full_o clear_v for_o before_o your_o reply_n viz._n that_o you_o mean_v not_o the_o arian_n etc._n etc._n be_v write_v down_o which_o according_a to_o the_o method_n of_o this_o conference_n have_v be_v mr._n g_n time_n of_o answer_v some_o mutual_a reproach_n which_o be_v begin_v by_o yourself_o arise_v between_o you_o and_o your_o adversary_n mr._n t_o rise_v up_o as_o i_o have_v say_v and_o desire_v there_o may_v be_v no_o far_a word_n in_o this_o matter_n forasmuch_o as_o he_o be_v full_o satisfy_v say_v as_o he_o himself_o have_v since_o reminded_a i_o that_o see_v the_o greek_a church_n which_o as_o it_o seem_v he_o fancy_v be_v universal_a have_v err_v it_o be_v evident_a to_o he_o that_o a_o universal_a church_n may_v err_v with_o somewhat_o more_o to_o the_o like_a purpose_n and_o of_o the_o like_a strain_n i_o say_v these_o heat_n of_o our_o disputant_n and_o this_o importunity_n of_o mr._n t_o be_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o our_o part_n in_o so_o great_a a_o hurry_n insomuch_o that_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v speak_v be_v not_o write_v nor_o some_o perhaps_o of_o what_o be_v write_v so_o nice_o exact_a as_o not_o to_o leave_v room_n for_o the_o cavil_n of_o one_o who_o may_v be_v more_o concern_v for_o the_o peculiar_a credit_n of_o learning_n in_o himself_o than_o for_o the_o ordinary_a reputation_n of_o integrity_n in_o his_o adversary_n you_o say_v that_o mr._n g_o rise_v up_o and_o endeavour_v to_o hinder_v the_o writer_n from_o set_v down_o this_o latter_a part_n as_o it_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v and_o herein_o you_o seem_v to_o own_o what_o i_o have_v say_v viz._n that_o in_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o this_o dispute_v thing_n be_v not_o set_v down_o so_o exact_o as_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v and_o consequent_o what_o you_o say_v of_o a_o original_a paper_n read_v aloud_o and_o approve_v by_o both_o party_n must_v not_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o paper_n contain_v the_o whole_a conference_n for_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o in_o a_o paper_n approve_v by_o both_o party_n all_o thing_n be_v not_o set_v down_o as_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v but_o whereas_o you_o say_v that_o mr._n g_o endeavour_v to_o hinder_v the_o set_n down_o of_o these_o thing_n i_o dare_v say_v that_o if_o you_o examine_v your_o conscience_n once_o more_o you_o will_v find_v no_o such_o thought_n in_o it_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o be_o confident_a that_o if_o you_o have_v desire_v mr._n g_o which_o you_o do_v not_o to_o have_v stay_v for_o the_o writing_n and_o compare_v these_o last_o word_n he_o will_v most_o ready_o have_v comply_v with_o you_o which_o be_v more_o than_o you_o will_v do_v with_o he_o as_o i_o have_v show_v in_o your_o former_a disputation_n in_o which_o you_o be_v as_o much_o behold_v to_o mr._n t_o for_o his_o desire_n of_o break_v off_o the_o discourse_n as_o you_o can_v fancy_v that_o mr._n g_o be_v oblige_v to_o he_o for_o a_o like_a importunity_n in_o this_o mr._n it_o be_v importunity_n be_v the_o same_o in_o both_o occasion_n but_o in_o the_o former_a mr._n g_o desire_v that_o his_o question_n may_v be_v write_v down_o and_o be_v not_o hear_v whereas_o in_o the_o latter_a you_o ask_v no_o such_o thing_n but_o beside_o what_o i_o have_v already_o say_v it_o may_v have_v be_v expect_v that_o you_o who_o have_v be_v so_o much_o verse_v in_o these_o polemic_a discourse_n and_o be_v so_o well_o skilled_a in_o all_o the_o law_n relate_v to_o they_o when_o you_o see_v two_o several_a copy_n of_o this_o conference_n carry_v out_o of_o your_o house_n will_v have_v take_v care_n that_o they_o may_v have_v be_v compare_v or_o at_o least_o propose_v it_o especial_o when_o as_o you_o say_v mr._n g_z have_v take_v care_n in_o the_o conference_n to_o keep_v you_o from_o expect_v any_o great_a ingenuity_n from_o he_o after_o it_o if_o you_o will_v take_v my_o judgement_n on_o the_o case_n which_o i_o think_v be_v not_o very_o rash_a you_o hope_v for_o great_a advantage_n from_o this_o omission_n which_o be_v as_o much_o your_o fault_n as_o mr._n g_o be_v by_o have_v some_o appearance_n of_o a_o objection_n than_o you_o can_v have_v receive_v from_o the_o conference_n have_v it_o be_v publish_v to_o the_o world_n even_o in_o your_o own_o copy_n you_o say_v you_o know_v what_o art_n have_v be_v use_v to_o get_v mr._n t_o to_o approve_v mr._n g_o s_o copy_n and_o i_o believe_v that_o neither_o mr._n g_o nor_o any_o of_o his_o friend_n nor_o even_o mr._n t_o himself_z know_v any_o such_o at_o least_o mr._n t_o tell_v i_o not_o long_o since_o that_o he_o himself_o be_v dissatisfy_v with_o this_o expression_n of_o you_o but_o lest_o the_o world_n shall_v think_v that_o your_o insinuation_n be_v whole_o without_o pretence_n and_o that_o at_o the_o same_o time_n it_o may_v know_v how_o great_a a_o improver_n one_o may_v be_v i_o will_v acknowledge_v that_o once_o meet_v accidental_o with_o mr._n t_o in_o the_o street_n i_o tell_v he_o i_o hear_v you_o complain_v that_o mr._n g_o s_o paper_n of_o the_o conference_n be_v false_a and_o therefore_o i_o desire_v he_o to_o compare_v his_o copy_n with_o that_o which_o be_v write_v for_o mr._n g_o that_o we_o may_v see_v whether_o mr._n g_o or_o his_o amanuensis_fw-la have_v deal_v fair_o or_o not_o which_o be_v all_o i_o say_v and_o as_o i_o understand_v by_o mr._n t_o all_o the_o ground_n you_o have_v for_o this_o aspersion_n what_o can_v be_v more_o natural_a innocent_a or_o just_a than_o this_o proceed_n but_o dr._n st_o know_v what_o art_n be_v use_v will_v to_o god_n that_o neither_o he_o nor_o i_o have_v any_o worse_a but_o i_o believe_v that_o this_o very_a insinuation_n will_v appear_v at_o the_o last_o day_n to_o be_v a_o worse_a art_n than_o any_o be_v use_v on_o this_o occasion_n with_o mr._n t_o if_o mr._n t_o have_v inform_v you_o of_o any_o bribe_n promise_n threat_n or_o any_o kind_n of_o persuasion_n that_o have_v be_v make_v use_n of_o for_o the_o corrupt_a he_o to_o the_o approbation_n of_o our_o copy_n you_o will_v have_v do_v well_o to_o have_v lay_v they_o open_a but_o if_o a_o bare_a desire_n that_o mr._n t_o will_v compare_v his_o copy_n with_o we_o must_v pass_v for_o a_o design_n of_o corrupt_v he_o i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v convenient_a that_o for_o the_o future_a we_o pull_v not_o off_o our_o hat_n to_o this_o mr._n t_o when_o we_o meet_v he_o lest_o it_o shall_v be_v interpret_v that_o we_o still_o court_v he_o to_o our_o party_n but_o i_o presume_v i_o need_v not_o take_v much_o pain_n to_o wipe_v off_o this_o aspersion_n since_o i_o can_v but_o persuade_v myself_o that_o my_o reader_n when_o they_o have_v peruse_v the_o abovewritten_v copy_n will_v conclude_v with_o i_o that_o mr._n g_o have_v not_o great_a occasion_n for_o these_o art_n and_o that_o the_o offer_v a_o temptation_n of_o that_o nature_n to_o so_o zealous_a a_o protestant_n as_o mr._n t_o must_v do_v his_o cause_n more_o harm_n than_o he_o can_v receive_v benefit_n by_o his_o yield_n to_o it_o to_o conclude_v i_o pray_v sir_n what_o worse_a art_n be_v it_o for_o we_o to_o desire_v mr._n t_o to_o compare_v his_o copy_n with_o we_o than_o it_o be_v for_o you_o to_o desire_v the_o gentleman_n who_o write_v for_o mr._n g._n to_o compare_v his_o with_o you_o but_o eat_v drink_v sleep_a be_v natural_a action_n in_o dr._n st_o and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n art_n and_o conspiracy_n in_o mr._n g_o you_o say_v that_o when_o you_o have_v desire_v mr._n t_o to_o bring_v that_o gentleman_n to_o you_o word_n be_v leave_v with_o your_o servant_n that_o he_o be_v not_o well_o i_o know_v not_o what_o mystery_n you_o likewise_o make_v of_o this_o but_o i_o assure_v you_o that_o when_o this_o happen_v the_o gentleman_n you_o mention_v tell_v i_o you_o have_v send_v for_o he_o but_o that_o he_o have_v enter_v on_o a_o course_n of_o physic_n and_o can_v not_o convenient_o wait_v on_o you_o till_o that_o be_v over_o you_o say_v further_o that_o
