that_o you_o will_v be_v please_v to_o tread_v in_o the_o step_n of_o constantine_n the_o christian_a emperor_n who_o have_v ever_o this_o resolution_n that_o if_o he_o shall_v see_v sacerdotem_fw-la

motion_n be_v that_o if_o my_o subscription_n shall_v make_v i_o a_o delinquent_n and_o worthy_a of_o any_o censure_n that_o then_o the_o censure_n may_v not_o exceed_v but_o at_o the_o high_a be_v proportionable_a to_o the_o offence_n the_o three_o and_o last_o motion_n be_v that_o that_o of_o plautus_n after_o my_o fifty_o eight_o year_n painful_a constant_a and_o successful_a preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n and_o in_o foreign_a part_n may_v not_o be_v verrify_v of_o i_o si_fw-mi quid_fw-la bene_fw-la feceris_fw-la levior_fw-la pluma_fw-la

consideration_n of_o this_o honourable_a house_n for_o favourable_a construction_n of_o my_o rash_a subscription_n i_o may_v say_v commiseration_n but_o all_o without_o ostentation_n that_o be_v far_o from_o i_o but_o rather_o for_o the_o consolation_n of_o my_o perplex_a soul_n for_o the_o great_a affliction_n restraint_n and_o disgrace_n which_o i_o have_v long_o sustain_v which_o be_v far_o great_a than_o ever_o i_o endure_v before_o and_o transcend_v the_o danger_n and_o jeopardy_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o the_o misery_n of_o the_o war_n whereof_o i_o have_v have_v my_o share_n and_o partly_o for_o the_o vindication_n of_o my_o former_a reputation_n call_v and_o profession_n which_o be_v now_o so_o cloud_v eclipse_v and_o black_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n and_o scandalize_v in_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o vulgar_a multitude_n that_o without_o reparation_n and_o restauration_n to_o my_o former_a esteem_n i_o shall_v never_o have_v heart_n to_o show_v my_o face_n in_o pulpit_n any_o more_o wherein_o i_o have_v wish_v to_o end_v my_o day_n but_o i_o wave_v they_o all_o because_o i_o will_v not_o detain_v you_o from_o other_o occasion_n of_o great_a importance_n and_o desire_v my_o way_n may_v be_v make_v know_v unto_o you_o rather_o by_o inquisition_n than_o my_o own_o relation_n only_o i_o shall_v appeal_v to_o the_o noble_a knight_n citizens_z and_o burgess_n of_o the_o diocese_n where_o i_o now_o live_v and_o of_o the_o other_o wherein_o former_o i_o do_v live_v as_o namely_o the_o honourable_a city_n of_o bristol_n which_o i_o can_v never_o name_v without_o that_o title_n not_o only_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o piety_n unity_n and_o conformity_n but_o also_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o love_n kindness_n and_o extraordinary_a bounty_n unto_o i_o i_o appeal_v to_o they_o for_o their_o testimony_n and_o knowledge_n of_o my_o course_n among_o they_o nay_o i_o appeal_v to_o the_o record_n of_o the_o honourable_a house_n where_o i_o be_o confident_a after_o sixteen_o month_n sit_v there_o be_v nothing_o find_v that_o can_v trench_v upon_o i_o neither_o i_o hope_v will_n or_o may_v be_v and_o therefore_o my_o humble_a suit_n be_v for_o expedition_n if_o you_o intend_v accusation_n or_o rather_o for_o your_o meditation_n that_o i_o may_v speedy_o return_v to_o my_o own_o home_n and_o cure_n to_o redeem_v the_o time_n because_o the_o day_n be_v evil_a as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v and_o to_o regain_v the_o esteem_n and_o reputation_n which_o i_o be_v long_o in_o get_v and_o long_o enjoy_v but_o lose_v in_o a_o moment_n for_o if_o i_o shall_v outlive_v i_o say_v not_o my_o bishopric_n but_o my_o credit_n my_o gray_a hair_n and_o many_o year_n will_v soon_o be_v bring_v with_o sorrow_n to_o the_o grave_n
