i_o leave_v it_o to_o your_o lordship_n wisdom_n to_o take_v what_o method_n your_o lordship_n shall_v think_v fit_a for_o the_o relieve_n of_o i_o and_o if_o your_o lordship_n think_v nothing_o

and_o his_o answer_n too_o if_o they_o believe_v they_o such_o as_o will_v serve_v to_o ser●●ff_v their_o objection_n with_o advantage_n but_o i_o have_v no_o room_n for_o objection_n and_o answer_n in_o this_o paper_n however_o to_o give_v the_o reader_n a_o taste_n of_o their_o objection_n i_o will_v mention_v one_o of_o they_o and_o it_o be_v their_o great_a objection_n in_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o visitor_n that_o be_v it_o be_v their_o great_a they_o have_v the_o great_a objection_n say_v his_o lordship_n in_o a_o letter_n direct_v to_o a_o gentleman_n in_o london_n that_o they_o

then_o his_o lordship_n say_v how_o he_o have_v answer_v it_o to_o this_o i_o tell_v the_o rector_n in_o a_o letter_n that_o mr._n p._n be_v expel_v from_o the_o university_n and_o not_o to_o come_v within_o five_o mile_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o can_v not_o come_v to_o the_o college_n to_o ask_v leave_n to_o be_v absent_a one_o will_v think_v that_o a_o expel_v man_n shall_v rather_o have_v ask_v leave_n to_o stay_v in_o the_o college_n than_o have_v beg_v leave_n to_o go_v away_o sure_o they_o be_v very_o hard_o put_v to_o it_o for_o objection_n against_o mr._n p_n restitution_n when_o
