bare_a charge_n be_v to_o pass_v for_o proof_n he_o may_v be_v think_v guilty_a of_o both_o but_o if_o demonstration_n be_v require_v for_o proof_n as_o well_o as_o charge_n we_o appeal_v to_o the_o reader_n and_o let_v he_o be_v judge_n whether_o they_o will_v not_o rather_o fall_v upon_o the_o bp._n while_o we_o believe_v he_o will_v find_v no_o such_o scurrilous_a and_o unchristian_a treatment_n in_o w._n p_n defence_n as_o be_v in_o the_o bp_n reply_n we_o also_o observe_v that_o although_o the_o bp_n reply_n be_v date_v cork_n march_n 21._o 1698_o 9_o at_o which_o time_n he_o be_v not_o remove_v hence_o yet_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n assign_v wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o print_v or_o make_v public_a till_o october_n 1699._o what_o reason_n the_o bp._n have_v for_o delay_v its_o publication_n he_o best_a know_v but_o this_o we_o know_v that_o w._n p._n sail_v for_o pensilvania_n in_o september_n and_o soon_o after_o out_o come_v the_o bp_n reply_n have_v w._n p._n continue_a in_o england_n the_o delay_n have_v be_v no_o blame_n upon_o the_o bp._n but_o since_o the_o bp._n have_v make_v several_a personal_a reflection_n and_o charge_n against_o w._n p._n which_o none_o can_v answer_v so_o well_o as_o himself_o we_o think_v he_o ought_v to_o have_v publish_v his_o reply_n before_o w._n p_n departure_n for_o america_n since_o he_o have_v time_n enough_o for_o so_o do_v that_o so_o w._n p._n may_v have_v appear_v in_o his_o own_o vindication_n and_o which_o he_o can_v easy_o have_v do_v have_v the_o bp_n reply_v come_v out_o in_o due_a time_n but_o since_o the_o bp._n think_v not_o fit_a so_o to_o do_v whereby_o this_o rejoynder_n have_v fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o person_n less_o skilful_a in_o the_o defence_n of_o truth_n then_o w._n p._n as_o we_o free_o confess_v it_o have_v and_o not_o so_o qualify_v to_o treat_v the_o bp._n as_o w._n p._n nor_o perhaps_o as_o the_o bp._n himself_o may_v expect_v the_o bp._n may_v be_v please_v or_o displease_v with_o himself_o as_o he_o find_v occasion_n for_o deprive_v w._n p._n of_o that_o service_n and_o thereby_o to_o be_v sure_a himself_n of_o a_o able_a opponent_n but_o though_o the_o bp._n shall_v dislike_v we_o for_o opponent_n yet_o we_o think_v he_o can_v at_o least_o ought_v not_o to_o blame_v we_o since_o reason_n and_o justice_n allow_v we_o the_o privilege_n to_o appear_v in_o our_o just_a vindication_n when_o we_o find_v our_o principle_n as_o well_o as_o our_o friend_n so_o great_o abuse_v misrepresent_v and_o reflect_v upon_o as_o we_o believe_v will_v plain_o appear_v to_o the_o impartial_a reader_n they_o be_v in_o the_o bp_n reply_n however_o notwithstanding_o his_o treatment_n though_o we_o may_v be_v plain_a where_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o charge_n extort_v it_o from_o we_o yet_o we_o hope_v the_o reader_n will_v find_v that_o we_o have_v not_o only_o endeavour_v to_o carry_v ourselves_o with_o that_o moderation_n towards_o he_o which_o become_v we_o both_o as_o man_n and_o christian_n too_o but_o likewise_o as_o fair_a opponent_n have_v design_o neither_o pervert_v his_o word_n nor_o misrepresent_v his_o sense_n so_o far_o as_o we_o understand_v they_o and_o whether_o we_o have_v thus_o do_v on_o our_o part_n or_o the_o bp._n have_v do_v the_o contrarry_a by_o w._n p._n be_v leave_v to_o the_o impartial_a reader_n to_o conclude_v the_o follow_a rejoynder_n be_v write_v last_o winter_n according_a to_o its_o date_n at_o the_o end_n and_o as_o a_o reason_n for_o its_o lie_v so_o long_o unprint_v the_o reader_n may_v please_v to_o understand_v that_o be_v advise_v by_o a_o friend_n from_o dublin_n above_o eight_o month_n past_a he_o have_v send_v one_o of_o the_o bp_n reply'_v by_o way_n of_o mary-land_n to_o w._n p._n it_o give_v we_o some_o hope_n of_o a_o answer_n thereto_o from_o himself_o which_o we_o great_o desire_v but_o inasmuch_o as_o some_o letter_n have_v be_v very_o late_o receive_v from_o w._n p._n
