A78614	Envy's bitterness corrected with the rod of shame: Or, An answer to a book lately published by Richard Haines (a person withdrawn from) entituled, New lords, new laws; wherein is shewed such an image of envy, as in late ages have not appeared, by his heaping up false accusations, and abusive expressions to a great number, with malicious insinuations, thereby to provoke (if possible) the civil magistrate to have suspitious thoughts of the innocent, with a great out-cry of usurpation and tyranny, proved to have no other foundation but his own evil imaginations, and so, neither lords, nor new laws. : Wherein also the several persons therein accused, are in righteousness quitted, to the shame of the accuser. / By Matthew Caffyn ...

think_v that_o church_n be_v oblige_v to_o follow_v the_o motion_n of_o excommunicate_v person_n whither_o they_o please_v but_o rather_o as_o some_o think_v that_o the_o church_n appeal_v unto_o

the_o whole_a nation_n among_o the_o many_o excommunicate_v person_n that_o be_v there_o who_o doubtless_o be_v as_o strong_o persuade_v as_o he_o can_v be_v at_o leastwise_o many_o that_o their_o

press_a necessity_n that_o he_o say_v engage_v he_o to_o this_o publication_n be_v worthy_a observation_n namely_o that_o our_o proceed_n against_o he_o do_v appear_v to_o he_o no_o less_o than_o

reason_n for_o publication_n to_o wit_n his_o care_n to_o preserve_v the_o truth_n and_o the_o professor_n thereof_o from_o reproachful_a abuse_n and_o censure_n i_o answer_v that_o to_o we_o it_o be_v unknown_a that_o any_o reproach_n be_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o method_n and_o manner_n of_o our_o proceed_n neither_o indeed_o can_v it_o be_v for_o that_o person_n not_o in_o

reproachful_a word_n have_v be_v raise_v that_o lie_v at_o his_o door_n and_o not_o at_o we_o and_o as_o to_o the_o ground_n and_o cause_n of_o our_o proceed_n with_o respect_n to_o his_o covet_v the_o patent_n nothing_o be_v more_o apparent_a than_o that_o we_o be_v among_o man_n very_o general_o justify_v and_o render_v be_v do_v well_o and_o wise_o therein_o but_o alas_o how_o may_v the_o reader_n be_v convince_v that_o his_o plea_n to_o preserve_v the_o truth_n from_o reproach_n be_v a_o candid_a and_o real_a plea_n since_o he_o have_v not_o cease_v to_o do_v and_o justify_v that_o which_o be_v so_o great_a a_o occasion_n of_o reproach_n and_o so_o general_o too_o as_o the_o like_a in_o our_o time_n scarce_o have_v be_v so_o many_o person_n in_o so_o many_o place_n be_v

what_o other_o have_v do_v certain_o i_o know_v not_o but_o this_o i_o know_v that_o since_o our_o with-drawment_a from_o he_o be_v partly_o to_o preserve_v the_o truth_n and_o the_o professor_n

there_o i_o answer_v first_o you_o may_v observe_v that_o as_o himself_o confess_v in_o his_o book_n i_o see_v he_o there_o do_v move_v his_o request_n to_o the_o assembly_n whereupon_o after_o some_o little_a debate_n about_o the_o matter_n a_o very_a fair_a and_o unanimous_a result_n be_v give_v that_o they_o by_o reason_n of_o a_o agreement_n former_o make_v can_v not_o then_o hear_v his_o

of_o the_o case_n or_o difference_n thereabouts_o can_v not_o decide_v the_o matter_n that_o then_o they_o will_v ready_o hear_v it_o nor_o can_v he_o reasonable_o mistrust_v this_o result_n as_o
