1658._o to_o the_o godly_a &_o learned_a professor_n and_o head_n of_o college_n in_o the_o two_o famous_a university_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o england_n before_o ever_o this_o request_n be_v

be_v here_o implore_v be_v make_v apparent_a unto_o i_o and_o my_o wish_n and_o earnest_a endeavour_n be_v make_v awake_a towards_o it_o but_o then_o there_o be_v no_o appearance_n that_o ever_o any_o such_o thing_n can_v or_o shall_v be_v bring_v to_o pass_v yet_o since_o we_o have_v see_v great_a and_o more_o unexpected_a matter_n accomplish_v both_o in_o reference_n to_o religion_n and_o to_o the_o civil_a government_n i_o hope_v we_o be_v in_o a_o fair_a way_n to_o see_v yet_o great_a thing_n bring_v forth_o and_o thing_n of_o peace_n and_o comfort_n to_o all_o the_o church_n which_o may_v prove_v to_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o many_o generation_n for_o as_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o hypocrite_n shall_v perish_v and_o be_v like_a unto_o the_o give_n up_o of_o the_o ghost_n so_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o righteous_a shall_v be_v fulfil_v and_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v ashamed_a of_o his_o hope_n because_o the_o promise_n be_v that_o he_o who_o hunger_n and_o thirst_v for_o righteousness_n shall_v be_v satisfy_v now_o the_o work_n which_o be_v here_o sue_v for_o by_o the_o foreign_a minister_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o knowledge_n of_o that_o way_n of_o righteousness_n which_o god_n have_v prepare_v for_o his_o saint_n to_o walk_v in_o that_o they_o may_v have_v communion_n with_o he_o in_o his_o kingdom_n therefore_o i_o be_o very_o confident_a that_o iâ—_n will_v be_v so_o full_o reveal_v and_o make_v know_v that_o a_o man_n as_o the_o prophet_n say_v though_o a_o fool_n shall_v not_o err_v therein_o and_o because_o the_o lord_n have_v
