to_o i_o a_o most_o unaccountable_a thing_n why_o the_o representer_n shall_v search_v for_o more_o and_o more_o misrepresentation_n misquotation_n and_o such_o like_a fault_n in_o protestant_a

to_o that_o lame_a and_o deceitful_a account_n thereof_o which_o the_o representer_n have_v publish_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o performance_n be_v to_o show_v how_o much_o and_o no_o more_o we_o

with_o popery_n i_o think_v that_o no_o man_n in_o his_o wit_n will_v assert_v this_o and_o therefore_o we_o may_v just_o ask_v what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v with_o all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v upon_o

several_a thing_n which_o we_o be_v say_v false_o to_o charge_v they_o with_o be_v maintain_v and_o defend_v by_o they_o this_o indeed_o the_o character_n which_o he_o make_v little_o more_o than_o in_o jest_n for_o his_o zealous_a brother_n do_v seem_v more_o direct_o to_o oppose_v and_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v easy_o answer_v that_o this_o brother_n in_o his_o zeal_n may_v urge_v what_o be_v

a_o defence_n this_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v be_v a_o little_a too_o tyrannical_a in_o a_o representer_n under_o his_o circumstance_n and_o will_v tempt_v a_o man_n against_o his_o own_o

to_o show_v that_o the_o reason_n upon_o which_o we_o proceed_v in_o our_o manifold_a charge_n against_o the_o papist_n be_v false_a and_o unsatisfactory_a and_o not_o have_v suffer_v he_o to_o run_v
