to_o doctor_n tillotson_n sir_n nothing_o in_o this_o world_n be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v so_o dear_a to_o any_o man_n as_o his_o reputation_n and_o consequent_o the_o defence_n of_o it_o be_v the_o great_a obligation_n that_o one_o man_n can_v lay_v on_o another_o there_o be_v also_o some_o circumstance_n that_o render_v this_o obligation_n yet_o more_o acceptable_a and_o valuable_a as_o when_o it_o be_v confer_v generous_o without_o any_o self-interest_n or_o the_o least_o desire_n or_o invitation_n from_o the_o person_n so_o defend_v all_o this_o happen_v to_o be_v my_o case_n at_o this_o time_n and_o therefore_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o be_v surprise_v to_o find_v i_o be_o not_o the_o most_o ungrateful_a and_o insensible_a man_n live_v which_o certain_o i_o shall_v be_v if_o i_o do_v not_o acknowledge_v all_o your_o industrious_a concern_v for_o i_o about_o the_o business_n of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a commission_n which_o now_o make_v so_o much_o noise_n in_o the_o world._n you_o have_v as_o i_o be_o tell_v so_o cordial_o plead_v my_o cause_n that_o it_o be_v almost_o become_v your_o own_o and_o therefore_o as_o unwilling_a as_o i_o be_o to_o speak_v of_o myself_o especial_o in_o a_o business_n which_o i_o can_v whole_o excuse_v yet_o i_o think_v myself_o now_o a_o little_a oblige_v to_o show_v my_o part_n in_o this_o matter_n though_o imprudent_a enough_o yet_o be_v not_o altogether_o unworthy_a of_o so_o just_a and_o so_o considerable_a a_o advocate_n the_o less_o a_o man_n say_v of_o himself_o the_o better_a and_o it_o be_v so_o well_o know_v already_o why_o i_o be_v keep_v out_o of_o all_o the_o secret_a council_n that_o i_o need_v not_o justify_v myself_o or_o trouble_v you_o as_o to_o those_o matter_n only_o i_o appeal_v to_o the_o unquestionable_a testimony_n of_o the_o spanish_a ambassador_n if_o i_o do_v not_o zealous_o and_o constant_o take_v all_o occasion_n to_o oppose_v the_o french_a interest_n because_o i_o know_v it_o direct_o opposite_a both_o to_o the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n be_v good_a which_o be_v indeed_o thing_n inseparable_a and_o aught_o to_o be_v so_o account_v as_o a_o fundamental_a maxim_n in_o all_o

error_n i_o be_o now_o as_o sensible_a as_o i_o be_v at_o first_o ignorant_a be_v so_o unhappy_o conversant_a in_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o perpetual_a court-flattery_n as_o never_o to_o have_v hear_v the_o least_o word_n of_o any_o illegality_n in_o that_o commission_n before_o i_o be_v unfortunate_o engage_v in_o it_o for_o tho'_o my_o lord_n of_o canterbury_n have_v very_o prudent_o refuse_v to_o be_v of_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v talk_v at_o court_n it_o proceed_v only_o from_o his_o unwillingness_n to_o act_v at_o that_o time_n and_o not_o from_o any_o illegality_n he_o suspect_v in_o the_o

at_o court_n i_o need_v not_o desire_v a_o man_n of_o your_o judgement_n and_o candour_n to_o consider_v the_o hardness_n of_o my_o case_n when_o i_o be_v command_v to_o serve_v in_o a_o commission_n with_o a_o lord_n chancellor_n a_o lord_n chief_a justice_n and_o two_o bishop_n who_o have_v all_o of_o they_o already_o act_v some_o time_n there_o without_o show_v the_o least_o diffidence_n of_o their_o power_n or_o any_o hesitation_n in_o the_o execution_n of_o it_o and_o perhaps_o a_o man_n of_o more_o discretion_n than_o i_o can_v pretend_v to_o may_v have_v be_v easy_o persuade_v to_o

upon_o no_o account_n in_o the_o world_n but_o to_o serve_v both_o king_n and_o clergy_n with_o the_o little_a ability_n i_o have_v in_o moderate_v those_o council_n which_o i_o think_v may_v grow_v high_o if_o i_o leave_v my_o place_n to_o be_v fill_v by_o any_o of_o those_o who_o wait_v for_o it_o greedy_o in_o order_n to_o their_o ill_a design_n and_o i_o may_v expect_v the_o more_o credit_n in_o this_o when_o it_o be_v consider_v that_o the_o two_o important_a affair_n which_o pass_v in_o that_o ecclesiastical_a court_n be_v the_o bishop_n of_o london_n suspension_n and_o the_o
