serve_v upon_o his_o person_n nor_o his_o full_a name_n in_o the_o citation_n be_v not_o right_a and_o therefore_o think_v he_o shall_v have_v have_v a_o dismission_n for_o that_o time_n till_o a_o new_a citation_n be_v send_v and_o serve_v upon_o he_o he_o very_o well_o know_v that_o the_o ecclesiastical_a court_n do_v former_o proceed_v very_o slow_o but_o it_o seem_v sir_n thomas_n day_n be_v near_o at_o hand_n for_o the_o citizen_n of_o london_n to_o choose_v a_o new_a common_a conncil_n and_o it_o be_v high_a time_n to_o hasten_v excommunication_n thereby_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o prevent_v the_o privilege_n of_o such_o person_n in_o their_o election_n of_o that_o honourable_a court_n of_o common_a council_n but_o this_o be_v a_o happiness_n to_o the_o loyal_a city_n of_o
