upon_o that_o truth_n which_o shall_v be_v avow_v upon_o the_o faith_n of_o a_o christian_a and_o honour_n of_o a_o gentleman_n and_o i_o can_v with_o much_o confidence_n affirm_v that_o i_o have_v not_o be_v want_v in_o the_o least_o point_n to_o that_o profession_n and_o i_o engage_v myself_o again_o to_o follow_v the_o same_o course_n in_o the_o ensue_a narrative_a wherein_o when_o i_o shall_v have_v demonstrate_v by_o clear_a proof_n and_o argument_n the_o wicked_a and_o malicious_a practice_n which_o mr._n john_n ash_n have_v use_v against_o i_o thereby_o involve_v i_o in_o

public_o entrust_v by_o the_o parliament_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o reader_n will_v believe_v i_o have_v more_o cause_n to_o have_v expect_v that_o mr._n ash_n will_v rather_o have_v acknowledge_v by_o his_o thankfulness_n the_o moderation_n i_o use_v in_o the_o relate_n of_o those_o passage_n wherein_o he_o be_v concern_v in_o my_o remonstrance_n then_o have_v endeavour_v as_o he_o have_v late_o do_v by_o a_o scurrilous_a pamphlet_n publish_v in_o his_o name_n to_o asperse_v i_o with_o the_o write_n of_o many_o fashood_n in_o several_a page_n of_o it_o and_o by_o a_o feign_a discourse_n as_o void_a of_o truth_n as_o of_o civility_n persuade_v the_o reader_n first_o that_o i_o never_o have_v any_o intention_n to_o compound_v upon_o my_o article_n and_o second_o that_o he_o have_v always_o studious_o perform_v the_o office_n of_o a_o faithful_a friend_n unto_o i_o now_o these_o two_o point_n have_v be_v already_o clear_v by_o solemn_a judgement_n in_o two_o
