will_v myself_o first_o read_v they_o at_o their_o meet_v again_o the_o next_o year_n and_o so_o for_o the_o future_a which_o according_o i_o do_v the_o last_o christmas_n they_o have_v another_o story_n of_o a_o most_o indecent_a scoff_n at_o our_o church_n music_n but_o this_o he_o utter_o deny_v and_o persist_v in_o do_v so_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v i_o never_o believe_v it_o but_o now_o for_o a_o reason_n i_o will_v mention_v i_o disbelieve_v it_o after_o all_o the_o passionate_a fend_n and_o prove_v be_v over_o and_o i_o have_v as_o i_o say_v smart_o enough_o reprove_v mr._n w._n i_o tell_v they_o it_o be_v evident_a he_o do_v not_o call_v the_o prayer_n a_o innovation_n but_o only_o the_o read_v they_o in_o the_o quest-house_n or_o upon_o that_o occasion_n and_o then_o exhort_v they_o to_o more_o christian_a behaviour_n towards_o one_o another_o and_o to_o be_v friend_n again_o have_v hear_v that_o there_o be_v a_o elder_a grudge_n between_o one_o or_o both_o of_o these_o man_n and_o this_o mr._n w._n and_o that_o the_o difference_n do_v not_o begin_v now_o although_o one_o of_o they_o have_v be_v sometime_o before_o his_o great_a intimate_v and_o he_o constant_o give_v mr._n w._n the_o title_n of_o his_o master_n hereupon_o they_o drink_v to_o each_o other_o more_o than_o once_o and_o shake_v hand_n but_o the_o next_o news_n i_o hear_v of_o they_o which_o surprise_v i_o much_o be_v that_o they_o have_v make_v a_o complaint_n of_o he_o to_o mr._n recorder_n and_o that_o the_o constable_n have_v carry_v he_o away_o to_o guild-hall_n and_o that_o there_o he_o be_v bind_v over_o to_o answer_v for_o his_o deprave_v the_o common-prayer_n upon_o these_o man_n oath_n at_o the_o king_n bench_n barr._n whereupon_o this_o mr._n w._n signify_v to_o i_o that_o the_o lord_n mayor_n have_v advise_v he_o to_o get_v a_o good_a petition_n draw_v up_o to_o my_o lord_n chief_a justice_n and_o as_o good_a a_o certificate_n as_o his_o minister_n and_o other_o creditable_a people_n of_o the_o parish_n can_v give_v he_o and_o that_o his_o lordship_n promise_v he_o to_o present_a both_o with_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o according_o he_o perform_v that_o promise_n hereupon_o i_o again_o reprove_v he_o and_o tell_v he_o i_o hope_v this_o will_v be_v for_o the_o future_a a_o warn_v to_o he_o and_o find_v he_o much_o deject_a i_o say_v i_o will_v willing_o certify_v for_o he_o whatsoever_o i_o know_v to_o be_v true_a of_o he_o and_o the_o certificate_n i_o give_v he_o be_v this_o that_o he_o be_v a_o constant_a attender_n on_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n a_o frequent_a of_o the_o holy_a communion_n in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o a_o forward_a man_n to_o public_a good_a work_n in_o the_o parish_n and_o particular_o at_o that_o time_n to_o the_o repair_v of_o our_o church_n and_o steeple_n and_o in_o the_o close_a i_o express_v how_o far_o i_o be_v from_o go_v about_o to_o excuse_v his_o fault_n but_o in_o what_o word_n i_o do_v this_o i_o do_v now_o remember_v this_o be_v the_o plain_a and_o naked_a truth_n of_o this_o matter_n and_o i_o be_o yet_o to_o learn_v where_o lie_v my_o fault_n nay_o i_o be_o still_o full_o satisfy_v in_o my_o conscience_n that_o i_o do_v nothing_o but_o what_o i_o may_v lawful_o do_v nay_o nor_o any_o thing_n but_o what_o i_o be_v bind_v in_o common_a justice_n to_o do_v for_o i_o never_o know_v he_o other_o than_o a_o constant_a attender_n on_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n nor_o than_o a_o frequent_a of_o the_o holy_a communion_n i_o mean_v upon_o his_o knee_n and_o at_o the_o rail_n and_o whatsoever_o fault_n he_o may_v have_v be_v guilty_a of_o i_o have_v find_v no_o one_o parishioner_n more_o public_a spirit_v both_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o church_n and_o parish_n and_o he_o be_v one_o of_o the_o best_a churchwarden_n i_o find_v he_o in_o that_o office_n when_o i_o first_o come_v hither_o that_o i_o believe_v the_o parish_n ever_o know_v it_o have_v be_v object_v to_o i_o that_o he_o behave_v himself_o disloyal_o at_o the_o election_n of_o sheriff_n and_o therefore_o this_o certificate_n be_v take_v the_o worse_o at_o my_o hand_n but_o i_o need_v make_v no_o other_o reply_n than_o that_o this_o be_v more_o than_o i_o know_v i_o have_v but_o little_a acquaintance_n in_o this_o parish_n to_o this_o day_n and_o have_v less_o then_o so_o that_o i_o may_v very_o well_o be_v a_o stranger_n to_o his_o behaviour_n at_o that_o election_n for_o my_o part_n i_o never_o perceive_v any_o disloyalty_n in_o he_o but_o the_o contrary_a when_o he_o have_v come_v to_o i_o which_o he_o do_v very_o rare_o but_o when_o business_n bring_v he_o though_o he_o live_v close_o by_o i_o and_o have_v he_o discover_v disaffection_n to_o the_o government_n either_o in_o church_n or_o state_n to_o i_o what_o be_v commendable_a in_o he_o shall_v not_o have_v make_v with_o i_o a_o atonement_n for_o it_o but_o there_o be_v no_o end_n of_o these_o my_o oblige_a friend_n story_n i_o hope_v though_o for_o the_o future_a they_o will_v be_v more_o innocent_a one_o i_o mean_v that_o their_o tongue_n will_v be_v no_o slander_n the_o worst_a thing_n i_o know_v of_o this_o man_n be_v that_o he_o will_v be_v too_o easy_o provoke_v but_o as_o soon_o that_o i_o will_v say_v for_o he_o too_o pacify_v but_o why_o shall_v i_o better_o know_v what_o this_o w._n be_v than_o what_o these_o man_n be_v i_o be_v i_o confess_v often_o tell_v what_o two_o of_o they_o be_v but_o i_o will_v not_o believe_v it_o till_o they_o do_v i_o the_o kindness_n to_o make_v i_o understand_v they_o whether_o i_o will_v or_o no_o and_o since_o i_o have_v be_v sufficient_o upbraid_v with_o my_o charitable_a incredulity_n but_o in_o order_n to_o the_o more_o blacken_a of_o i_o one_o or_o more_o of_o my_o good_a friend_n have_v report_v that_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o scaffold_n when_o the_o king_n be_v murder_v i_o never_o hear_v of_o this_o till_o this_o very_a day_n but_o i_o conclude_v it_o be_v a_o wicked_a lie_n before_o i_o send_v for_o he_o to_o ask_v he_o the_o question_n his_o reply_n be_v that_o he_o be_v then_o but_o a_o boy_n about_o sixteen_o year_n old_a as_o any_o one_o may_v believe_v that_o know_v he_o and_o that_o he_o be_v at_o that_o time_n fourscore_o mile_n from_o london_n in_o short_a mr._n attorney_n general_n have_v

in_o i_o and_o if_o it_o must_v be_v so_o for_o the_o future_a after_o this_o pain_n i_o have_v take_v to_o clear_v myself_o of_o be_v faulty_a therein_o so_o let_v it_o pervicaciae_fw-la nullum_fw-la

be_v unjust_a but_o high_o disingenuous_a for_o at_o my_o first_o come_v to_o this_o parish_n though_o he_o be_v a_o mere_a stranger_n to_o i_o and_o i_o never_o once_o hear_v of_o he_o before_o he_o high_o oblige_v i_o by_o stand_v up_o for_o my_o right_n to_o house_n that_o be_v build_v on_o the_o churchyard_n ground_n and_o which_o i_o recover_v without_o go_v to_o law_n and_o by_o no_o man_n
