need_n have_v we_o of_o any_o image_n at_o all_o in_o our_o church_n prove_v that_o first_o substantial_o and_o then_o what_o kind_n of_o image_n whether_o of_o saint_n or_o angel_n or_o christ_n on_o the_o cross_n or_o friar_n or_o benefactor_n etc._n etc._n but_o pray_v enlarge_v much_o upon_o our_o benefactor_n be_v image_n for_o i_o find_v by_o experience_n they_o bring_v most_o money_n to_o our_o church_n and_o that_o the_o benevolence_n of_o they_o be_v the_o best_a maintenance_n we_o have_v for_o our_o poor_a and_o by_o my_o account_n it_o will_v appear_v that_o we_o have_v have_v much_o more_o money_n come_v in_o from_o our_o decease_a benefactor_n than_o i_o and_o my_o parth_a and_o two_o sidesman_n and_o eliston_n and_o loud_a john_n bounick_n have_v get_v in_o two_o year_n bawl_v all_o six_o of_o we_o at_o the_o door_n thus_o pray_v remember_v the_o poor_a pray_v remember_v the_o poor_a there_o over_o let_v we_o have_v all_o our_o benefactor_n picture_n brave_o carve_v and_o guild_v as_o like_a as_o ever_o one_o pea_n be_v like_o another_o this_o may_v encourage_v more_o benefactor_n and_o if_o the_o answer_n be_v well_o pen_v to_o that_o point_n it_o may_v be_v worth_a all_o the_o tithe_n easter_n offering_n and_o lecture-mony_n too_o that_o we_o pay_v you_o my_o relate_n how_o far_o mr._n hunter_n act_v be_v only_o to_o satisfy_v you_o how_o false_o the_o pamphlet_n of_o mr._n sanders_n have_v represent_v the_o matter_n in_o print_n to_o the_o world_n not_o in_o the_o least_o to_o vindicate_v myself_o by_o have_v have_v mr._n hunter_n consent_n for_o what_o mr._n hunter_n act_v be_v but_o as_o the_o under-churchwarden_n use_v often_o to_o gowith_v the_o upper-churchwarden_n as_o his_o assistant_n therefore_o if_o any_o just_a blame_n be_v for_o what_o be_v do_v i_o have_v rather_o bear_v all_o the_o blame_n and_o damage_n too_o that_o can_v happen_v than_o suffer_v any_o body_n so_o much_o as_o to_o think_v ill_o of_o mr._n hunter_n from_o any_o one_o part_n of_o this_o matter_n i_o have_v only_o this_o to_o say_v that_o we_o both_o do_v think_v we_o do_v for_o the_o best_a and_o i_o say_v again_o i_o believe_v it_o will_v prove_v so_o for_o this_o reason_n because_o the_o more_o noise_n and_o pother_n mr._n sanders_n have_v make_v about_o it_o the_o more_o it_o may_v by_o some_o be_v suspect_v that_o mr._n sanders_n will_v willing_o defend_v image_n in_o church_n because_o he_o lay_v so_o much_o blame_v on_o a_o churchwarden_n for_o not_o defend_v they_o no_o better_o and_o for_o not_o call_v a_o vestry_n to_o consult_v how_o to_o do_v it_o or_o how_o to_o delay_v the_o proceed_n till_o another_o session_n etc._n etc._n but_o i_o do_v conceive_v that_o i_o may_v account_v the_o burn_a of_o this_o image_n after_o all_o circumstance_n consider_v no_o more_o sacrilege_n than_o burn_v a_o old_a broom_n that_o belong_v to_o the_o church_n and_o shall_v be_v of_o that_o mind_n until_o mr._n sanders_n do_v convince_v the_o contrary_a in_o print_n that_o this_o image_n have_v be_v more_o dedicate_v or_o consecrate_v at_o first_o or_o since_o to_o the_o church_n than_o all_o the_o broom_n every_o churchwarden_n have_v pay_v for_o since_o the_o image_n be_v make_v now_o it_o do_v concern_v he_o to_o tell_v the_o world_n why_o he_o make_v this_o text_n his_o subject_n for_o the_o first_o pamphlet_n viz._n thou_o that_o abhor_v idol_n do_v thou_o commit_v sacrilege_n if_o ●h_a do_v not_o prove_v my_o burn_v this_o image_n to_o be_v sacrilege_n than_o he_o si_fw-mi beside_o the_o text_n but_o i_o will_v grant_v that_o the_o desk_n have_v be_v more_o consecrate_v than_o the_o image_n but_o i_o do_v not_o know_v how_o much_o the_o clerk_n place_n in_o the_o desk_n be_v less_o consecrate_v than_o the_o reader_n place_n in_o the_o same_o d●sk_n i_o answer_v they_o be_v both_o in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o desk_n they_o both_o sit_v jig_n by_o joul_n together_o not_o a_o inch_n between_o nay_o the_o clerk_n place_n be_v on_o the_o reader_n be_v right_a hand_n also_o the_o clerk_n place_n be_v near_a the_o pulpit_n than_o the_o reader_n so_o that_o the_o lecturer_n can_v go_v up_o into_o the_o pulpit_n but_o if_o he_o be_v civil_a he_o must_v say_v by_o your_o leave_n mr._n clerk_n therefore_o all_o these_o thing_n consider_v i_o find_v little_a reason_n for_o mr._n sanders_n when_o he_o have_v do_v read_v prayer_n in_o the_o desk_n late_o to_o fall_v out_o with_o the_o poor_a clerk_n for_o stand_v up_o where_o mr._n sanders_n have_v stand_v to_o publish_v a_o vestry_n and_o to_o say_v sirrah_n this_o place_n be_v more_o consecrate_v than_o you_o and_o sirrah_n your_o shoe_n be_v not_o clean_a enough_o to_o stand_v up_o here_o lord_n bless_v we_o to_o what_o height_n will_v this_o ceremonious_a lecturer_n bring_v we_o because_o the_o clerk_n and_o mr._n sanders_n can_v set_v their_o horse_n together_o must_v we_o suffer_v he_o to_o print_v shame_n pamphlet_n without_o order_n of_o vestry_n and_o so_o spread_v false_a story_n about_o the_o parish_n to_o set_v you_o and_o i_o and_o all_o the_o parish_n into_o heat_n and_o difference_n well_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o he_o to_o make_v you_o and_o all_o the_o whole_a parish_n fall_v out_o with_o i_o yet_o he_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o make_v i_o fall_v out_o with_o you_o for_o i_o will_v not_o so_o much_o as_o be_v angry_a at_o any_o prosecution_n you_o can_v think_v of_o for_o i_o be_o assure_v that_o at_o any_o tavern-meeting_n with_o you_o or_o any_o man_n else_o with_o who_o i_o have_v any_o difference_n the_o very_a first_o glass_n of_o wine_n will_v wash_v away_o the_o great_a grumble_a that_o ever_o i_o have_v in_o my_o gizzard_n and_o render_v i_o full_o reconcile_v therefore_o let_v we_o have_v another_o merry_a meeting_n at_o tavern_n and_o let_v mr._n sanders_n be_v there_o and_o let_v we_o laugh_v and_o droll_n out_o those_o story_n and_o drink_v health_n roundly_o as_o we_o do_v brave_o when_o we_o dine_v at_o the_o vine_n tavern_n at_o our_o late_a election_n day_n and_o pledge_v i_o in_o a_o full_a glass_n and_o drink_v confusion_n to_o the_o pope_n and_o all_o his_o party_n from_o dan_n to_o beersheba_n let_v there_o be_v no_o man_n in_o our_o parish_n have_v any_o other_o distinction_n but_o protestant_n or_o papist_n for_o can_v all_o that_o be_v protestant_n but_o true_o love_v and_o agree_v one_o with_o another_o we_o need_v not_o fear_v pope_n nor_o monsieur_n o_o than_o we_o shall_v be_v a_o most_o serious_a regular_o devout_a parish_n indeed_o mr._n sanders_n have_v one_o fling_n at_o i_o more_o about_o my_o proceed_n in_o vestry_n he_o have_v a_o mighty_a opinion_n of_o himself_o can_v that_o please_v he_o which_o the_o doctor_n or_o vestry_n have_v print_v nothing_o against_o yet_o when_o they_o do_v i_o will_v not_o only_o say_v but_o make_v it_o appear_v even_o by_o the_o lord_n bishop_n own_o grant_v that_o they_o can_v hold_v a_o vestry_n without_o both_o or_o at_o least_o one_o of_o the_o churchwarden_n and_o if_o one_o churchwarden_n be_v not_o at_o it_o it_o be_v but_o a_o junto_n of_o a_o vestry_n let_v the_o laity_n keep_v the_o power_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o churchwarden_n for_o what_o they_o yield_v perhaps_o but_o out_o of_o respect_n to_o a_o protestant_a vicar_n it_o will_v be_v claim_v if_o popery_n come_v in_o as_o due_a to_o a_o popish_a vicar_n for_o all_o popish_a successor_n that_o shall_v come_v into_o our_o live_n will_v expect_v rather_o more_o than_o less_o than_o be_v yield_v by_o we_o heretic_n as_o they_o will_v call_v we_o but_o i_o be_o so_o satisfy_v in_o what_o i_o have_v do_v relate_v both_o to_o the_o image_n and_o vestry_n that_o i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o fear_v to_o submit_v the_o whole_a matter_n nay_o any_o other_o difference_n i_o may_v happen_v to_o have_v with_o any_o one_o in_o the_o world_n to_o the_o censure_n of_o our_o diocesan_n himself_o to_o who_o as_o my_o duty_n i_o owe_v and_o shall_v pay_v as_o great_a veneration_n as_o any_o of_o you_o all_o but_o furthermore_o i_o pray_v forget_v not_o likewise_o to_o answer_v why_o we_o call_v a_o image_n a_o ornament_n either_o to_o the_o church_n or_o commandment_n for_o we_o dare_v not_o call_v such_o a_o great_a carve_a guild_a image_n as_o this_o be_v a_o ornament_n to_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n in_o a_o protestant_a church_n for_o image_n be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o one_o of_o those_o very_a commandment_n and_o why_o we_o shall_v suffer_v this_o image_n to_o stand_v upon_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n just_a as_o if_o it_o be_v ready_a with_o its_o foot_n to_o kick_v that_o commandment_n out_o of_o our_o number_n as_o soon_o as_o
