true_o for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v the_o gentleman_n have_v but_o little_a cause_n to_o brag_v of_o his_o intend_a speech_n before_o the_o committee_n i_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o cenforious_a as_o to_o judge_v this_o intend_a and_o premeditate_a speech_n a_o wilful_a sin_n against_o conscience_n but_o rather_o think_v it_o almost_o as_o great_a a_o weakness_n of_o faith_n as_o when_o peter_n deny_v his_o master_n and_o i_o hope_v when_o he_o once_o consider_v his_o weakness_n in_o let_v such_o a_o errata_fw-la slip_n into_o the_o world_n he_o will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o boast_v of_o it_o that_o he_o will_v call_v it_o in_o and_o publish_v his_o repentance_n in_o the_o room_n of_o it_o the_o intend_a preamble_n he_o begin_v with_o it_o be_v a_o divine_a say_n of_o seneca_n no_o man_n set_v a_o better_a rate_n upon_o virtue_n than_o he_o that_o lose_v a_o good_a name_n to_o keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n ah_o seneca_n it_o be_v well_o the_o gentleman_n find_v you_o for_o if_o he_o have_v not_o he_o may_v have_v lose_v the_o beginning_n of_o his_o preamble_n but_o as_o for_o the_o divinity_n in_o the_o sentence_n i_o wonder_v whether_o it_o be_v church_n or_o school_n divinity_n for_o we_o look_v for_o sentence_n which_o be_v divine_a from_o scripture_n unless_o a_o miracle_n to_o confirm_v they_o but_o sure_o it_o be_v no_o miracle_n that_o his_o cripple_n shall_v walk_v have_v two_o such_o cruche_n as_o calvin_n and_o lactantius_n to_o support_v it_o but_o with_o a_o eye_n of_o pity_n take_v compassion_n on_o the_o gentleman_n and_o consider_v his_o case_n which_o be_v very_o sad_a have_v such_o shrewd_a justling_n on_o both_o side_n as_o may_v easy_o turn_v a_o weak_a stomach_n see_v one_o sort_n of_o people_n deny_v he_o to_o be_v a_o scholar_n other_o that_o he_o have_v the_o qualisication_n and_o distinguish_a charactet_n of_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n
