gross_a mistake_n that_o in_o the_o year_n 1659._o 60_o or_o at_o any_o other_o time_n at_o bletchington_n near_o oxford_n or_o any_o where_o else_o dr._n william_n holder_n or_o mr._n william_n

till_o that_o very_a day_n when_o his_o mother_n the_o lady_n wharton_n bring_v he_o to_o i_o at_o oxford_n in_o the_o year_n 1662._o to_o stay_v with_o i_o and_o learn_v to_o speak_v much_o less_o

resort_v to_o blechington_n on_o that_o account_n or_o what_o they_o find_v there_o i_o can_v tell_v sure_o i_o be_o that_o i_o be_v none_o of_o they_o it_o be_v true_a i_o then_o live_v at_o oxford_n that_o be_v i_o have_v a_o habitation_n there_o and_o have_v both_o before_o and_o since_o the_o time_n mention_v have_v conversation_n with_o dr._n holder_n and_o have_v before_o that_o time_n but_o i_o think_v not_o since_o be_v sometime_o with_o he_o at_o his_o house_n in_o blechington_n but_o sure_o i_o be_o that_o i_o be_v not_o with_o he_o there_o at_o any_o time_n when_o mr._n popham_n be_v with_o he_o for_o have_v i_o be_v so_o and_o on_o a_o account_n so_o remarkable_a it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o in_o so_o short_a a_o time_n as_o two_o year_n or_o less_o i_o shall_v so_o perfect_o forget_v it_o as_o then_o to_o take_v mr._n popham_n for_o a_o strange_a person_n who_o i_o have_v never_o see_v before_o and_o that_o from_o that_o time_n to_o this_o i_o shall_v never_o by_o any_o circumstance_n call_v it_o to_o mind_n that_o i_o have_v before_o see_v he_o it_o be_v much_o more_o possible_a that_o dr._n holder_n memory_n may_v fail_v he_o who_o have_v divers_a time_n before_o see_v i_o at_o blechington_n may_v think_v one_o of_o those_o time_n to_o have_v be_v while_o mr._n popham_n be_v with_o he_o if_o at_o least_o it_o be_v true_a that_o so_o very_a many_o do_v resort_v thither_o on_o purpose_n upon_o that_o occasion_n as_o page_n 1_o 5._o when_o mr._n popham_n come_v to_o i_o in_o the_o year_n 1662._o which_o be_v the_o first_o time_n that_o i_o ever_o

that_o i_o find_v he_o not_o able_a to_o pronounce_v one_o word_n or_o syllable_n now_o if_o so_o late_o as_o in_o the_o year_n 1660_o he_o have_v learned_a to_o speak_v so_o well_o as_o page_n 6._o to_o pronounce_v plain_o and_o distinct_o and_o with_o a_o good_a and_o graceful_a tone_n whatever_o word_n be_v show_v he_o in_o print_n or_o writing_n or_o represent_v to_o he_o by_o several_a way_n or_o as_o he_o have_v occasion_n to_o ask_v for_o etc._n etc._n as_o page_n 5._o it_o be_v very_o strange_a it_o shall_v so_o perfect_o be_v forget_v within_o two_o year_n and_o if_o as_o pag._n 1._o 5._o so_o many_o do_v then_o from_o oxford_n resort_n to_o blechington_n to_o see_v and_o hear_v he_o if_o it_o be_v then_o so_o public_o take_v notice_n of_o and_o know_v not_o only_o to_o those_o eminent_a person_n there_o name_v but_o general_o in_o oxford_n and_o that_o from_o thence_o so_o very_a many_o do_v resort_v thither_o on_o purpose_n to_o satisfy_v their_o curiosity_n and_o have_v a_o particular_a knowledge_n of_o what_o they_o have_v receive_v by_o report_n it_o be_v very_o much_o that_o there_o be_v now_o as_o page_n 3_o so_o very_a few_o if_o any_o in_o oxford_n who_o know_v or_o think_v otherwise_o but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o my_o skill_n not_o of_o he_o habit_n so_o well_o acquire_v do_v not_o use_v to_o be_v so_o quick_o lose_v and_o matter_n of_o fact_n so_o remarkable_a so_o public_a so_o general_o know_v so_o particular_o inquire_v into_o and_o by_o so_o very_a many_o who_o do_v hear_v and_o see_v it_o and_o do_v on_o purpose_n resort_v thither_o for_o that_o end_n be_v not_o wont_a to_o be_v so_o sudden_o forget_v by_o the_o same_o person_n and_o in_o the_o same_o place_n however_o if_o i_o have_v never_o challenge_v it_o as_o page_n 3_o i_o have_v at_o least_o do_v he_o no_o wrong_n it_o be_v at_o most_o but_o not_o be_v not_o so_o kind_a to_o he_o as_o he_o can_v have_v wish_v to_o say_v nothing_o of_o it_o and_o if_o all_o people_n give_v i_o the_o credit_n of_o it_o without_o my_o claim_n it_o sure_o they_o must_v therein_o be_v very_o kind_a or_o there_o be_v some_o ground_n for_o their_o so_o do_v what_o he_o add_v page_n 5._o that_o i_o have_v discourse_n with_o he_o on_o that_o occasion_n divers_a time_n when_o we_o happen_v to_o meet_v at_o oxford_n be_v but_o a_o mistake_n like_o the_o rest_n for_o i_o do_v not_o

he_o shall_v remember_v what_o perhaps_o he_o do_v not_o so_o well_o consider_v when_o he_o write_v this_o that_o dr._n wilkins_n at_o who_o lodging_n in_o wadham_n college_n it_o be_v that_o he_o

his_o good_n and_o if_o i_o do_v at_o that_o time_n chance_v to_o meet_v he_o there_o once_o it_o be_v more_o than_o i_o do_v remember_v much_o less_o do_v i_o remember_v that_o i_o have_v then_o
