i_o have_v something_o in_o the_o second_o place_n to_o speak_v concern_v myself_o and_o then_o i_o shall_v come_v brief_o to_o a_o conclusion_n concern_v myself_o i_o have_v go_v through_o various_a

be_v a_o resurrection_n of_o name_n as_o well_o as_o body_n at_o the_o last_o day_n god_n will_v not_o only_o wipe_v off_o tear_n from_o my_o eye_n this_o day_n but_o wipe_v off_o all_o blot_n and_o reproach_n from_o my_o name_n before_o many_o day_n be_v over_o and_o though_o my_o body_n will_v soon_o rot_v under_o ground_n yet_o my_o hope_n be_v my_o name_n will_v not_o rot_v above_o it_o i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a what_o calumny_n be_v cast_v upon_o i_o and_o more_o likely_a to_o be_v after_o i_o be_o dead_a and_o go_v the_o very_a night_n before_o my_o intend_a execution_n the_o last_o

will_v have_v so_o much_o charity_n as_o not_o to_o believe_v reproach_n cast_v upon_o a_o dead_a man_n who_o will_v be_v silent_a in_o the_o grave_n and_o not_o able_a to_o speak_v a_o word_n in_o his_o own_o justification_n i_o be_o asperse_v both_o as_o to_o my_o practice_n and_o as_o to_o my_o principle_n sect_n ix_o i_o shall_v begin_v with_o the_o first_o there_o be_v five_o aspersion_n
