which_o these_o learned_a divine_n have_v obtain_v as_o they_o say_v of_o several_a principal_a inhabitant_n within_o the_o parish_n of_o west-dereham_a and_o other_o adjacent_a parish_n to_o

several_a division_n and_o sectary_n and_o but_o a_o exceed_o small_a salary_n for_o a_o minister_n discourage_v most_o man_n from_o supply_v the_o cure_n rem_fw-la two_o thing_n be_v here_o assign_v for_o discouragement_n the_o smallness_n of_o the_o salary_n and_o have_v several_a sectary_n so_o where_o there_o be_v most_o need_n there_o be_v least_o care_n if_o money_n be_v want_v it_o make_v

therefore_o say_v these_o certifier_n by_o reason_n whereof_o it_o be_v seldom_o well_o supply_v for_o any_o long_a time_n together_o and_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o people_n in_o danger_n of_o

from_o experience_n assign_v say_v the_o reason_n of_o their_o being_n not_o well_o supply_v with_o a_o preacher_n be_v the_o smallness_n of_o their_o pay_n which_o notwithstanding_o the_o present_a

of_o the_o parish_n enter_v upon_o the_o cure_n in_o june_n 1691._o against_o who_o say_v the_o certifier_n the_o quaker_n have_v be_v in_o a_o continual_a rage_n for_o be_v disappoint_v of_o their_o

1698._o now_o what_o pray_v can_v this_o poor_a woman_n get_v of_o this_o laborious_a parson_n unless_o by_o ask_v he_o such_o question_n she_o shall_v bereave_v he_o of_o that_o he_o seem_v but_o

challenger_n to_o the_o late_a conference_n and_o yet_o the_o quaker_n first_o letter_n relate_v thereto_o be_v not_o till_o the_o seven_o of_o september_n 1698._o and_o this_o woman_n go_v to_o the_o parson_n in_o 1695._o on_o purpose_n to_o vex_v he_o on_o ascention-day_n with_o quakerly_n question_n as_o the_o certifier_n say_v i_o wonder_v what_o they_o be_v that_o grieve_v he_o yet_o why_o shall_v i_o wonder_v see_v according_a to_o the_o certificate_n of_o these_o principal_a inhabitant_n his_o family_n can_v witness_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o as_o also_o mrs._n bishop_n a_o principal_a woman_n of_o the_o town_n of_o barton_n who_o happen_v to_o be_v with_o the_o minister_n then_o sure_o these_o must_v needs_o be_v some_o pusle_a question_n that_o do_v so_o sore_o vex_v he_o but_o as_o solomon_n say_v of_o the_o fool_n have_v he_o keep_v silent_a he_o have_v be_v count_v wise_a but_o for_o a_o man_n and_o a_o minister_n to_o be_v so_o vex_v with_o a_o woman_n quakerly_n question_n show_v great_a folly_n as_o it_o do_v weakness_n for_o these_o rector_n or_o divine_n to_o print_v such_o poor_a stuff_n but_o the_o certifier_n go_v on_o say_v we_o of_o this_o parish_n and_o divers_a other_o person_n of_o neighbour_a parish_n too_o do_v very_o well_o remember_v that_o beckett_n the_o husband_n himself_o watch_v our_o minister_n in_o a_o lane_n not_o far_o from_o the_o church_n line_v on_o both_o side_n with_o people_n to_o dispute_v when_o his_o spirit_n be_v exhaust_v with_o preach_v and_o his_o strength_n weaken_v by_o perform_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o day_n rem_fw-la this_o be_v bring_v as_o another_o proof_n that_o the_o quaker_n be_v the_o challenger_n to_o the_o dispute_n because_o this_o poor_a quaker_n speak_v to_o the_o parson_n in_o a_o lane_n sure_o it_o be_v a_o great_a vexation_n to_o this_o man_n to_o be_v speak_v to_o but_o if_o the_o woman_n have_v not_o go_v after_o this_o shepherd_n and_o the_o man_n meet_v with_o he_o in_o a_o lane_n it_o be_v great_o to_o be_v question_v whether_o he_o will_v have_v seek_v they_o though_o peradventure_o he_o may_v have_v send_v for_o the_o tithe_n egg_n pig_n or_o goose_n for_o be_v it_o not_o that_o and_o the_o reward_n that_o he_o may_v expect_v from_o the_o principal_a inhabitant_n that_o request_v he_o to_o take_v the_o cure_n upon_o he_o which_o encourage_v he_o to_o supply_v it_o and_o mind_n more_o than_o his_o flock_n or_o to_o answer_v any_o quakerly_n question_n although_o they_o go_v three_o mile_n to_o seek_v their_o shepherd_n and_o ask_v they_o but_o there_o be_v another_o instance_n to_o prove_v the_o challenge_n be_v make_v by_o the_o quaker_n because_o one_o fillip_v a_o quaker_n go_v above_o four_o month_n before_o the_o challenge_n be_v make_v as_o these_o certifier_n declare_v viz._n one_o phillips_n a_o quaker_n go_v to_o disturb_v our_o minister_n at_o his_o own_o house_n one_o monday_n in_o may_n last_o to_o challenge_v he_o to_o a_o dispute_n with_o the_o quaker_n rem_fw-la it_o be_v well_o it_o be_v not_o on_o saturday_n for_o that_o might_n prevent_v his_o next_o day_n work_v but_o how_o do_v these_o principal_a inhabitant_n of_o several_a parish_n know_v that_o phillip_n the_o quaker_n do_v go_v to_o disturb_v their_o minister_n etc._n etc._n do_v they_o see_v he_o or_o hear_v he_o do_v it_o or_o do_v their_o minister_n tell_v they_o so_o and_o therefore_o they_o certify_v on_o his_o say_v so_o sure_o such_o do_n will_v never_o redound_v to_o these_o clergyman_n credit_n but_o they_o still_o

his_o sheep_n from_o be_v devour_v by_o the_o wolf_n give_v our_o minister_n and_o we_o great_a occasion_n to_o dread_v a_o apostasy_n of_o the_o people_n from_o the_o christian_a faith_n this_o and_o nothing_o but_o this_o make_v we_o and_o our_o minister_n willing_a to_o permit_v mr._n bugg_n among_o they_o to_o try_v if_o he_o can_v conjure_v down_o this_o busy_a spirit_n which_o possess_v the_o quaker_n and_o be_v so_o troublesome_a to_o we_o so_o that_o whatever_o the_o quaker_n may_v pretend_v to_o the_o contrary_a we_o very_o believe_v they_o be_v the_o challenger_n and_o none_o but_o they_o and_o have_v the_o minister_n be_v permit_v to_o make_v out_o their_o charge_n quakerism_n in_o those_o part_n will_v have_v receive_v a_o mortal_a stroke_n the_o truth_n of_o all_o which_o

of_o their_o error_n where_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o labour_n and_o seal_n of_o his_o ministry_n what_o must_v demonstrate_v he_o to_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o christ_n for_o he_o nor_o none_o of_o the_o manager_n when_o urge_v to_o it_o by_o the_o quaker_n at_o west-dereham_a will_v undertake_v to_o prove_v themselves_o such_o or_o must_v his_o be_v vex_v with_o the_o woman_n for_o ask_v

word_n permit_v for_o that_o show_v neither_o their_o minister_n or_o they_o care_v much_o for_o he_o yet_o be_v willing_a to_o permit_v he_o to_o come_v among_o his_o sheep_n indeed_o it_o be_v a_o hazard_n for_o one_o scabby_a sheep_n be_v apt_a to_o spoil_v a_o whole_a flock_n yet_o if_o mr._n bugg_n can_v conjure_v down_o this_o busy_a spirit_n which_o so_o vex_v this_o poor_a parson_n he_o be_v willing_a to_o suffer_v a_o trial_n find_v his_o own_o ability_n be_v not_o sufficient_a and_o the_o people_n also_o do_v permit_v which_o show_v this_o mr._n bugg_n have_v but_o little_a

be_v from_o the_o persuasion_n of_o the_o parson_n and_o knowledge_n of_o their_o timorousness_n and_o inability_n who_o declare_v at_o west-dereham_a it_o can_v not_o be_v expect_v that_o they_o
