glad_a to_o see_v she_o in_o a_o comely_a dress_n i_o remember_v i_o do_v even_o now_o take_v the_o bishop_n by_o the_o hand_n but_o my_o intent_n be_v not_o so_o to_o take_v my_o leave_n of_o they_o

therefore_o in_o my_o judgement_n not_o incongruous_a to_o the_o function_n and_o if_o the_o government_n must_v down_o because_o some_o be_v bad_a why_o shall_v not_o the_o government_n stand_v because_o some_o be_v and_o primitive_o have_v be_v good_a for_o aught_o i_o can_v perceive_v it_o be_v as_o good_a a_o argument_n i_o deny_v not_o but_o the_o way_n of_o a_o presbytery_n may_v be_v

peradventure_o may_v be_v much_o better_a than_o they_o be_v if_o the_o minister_n of_o every_o county_n by_o a_o majority_n of_o voice_n do_v out_o of_o themselves_o choose_v their_o diocesan_n bishop_n and_o there_o be_v settle_v for_o his_o life_n but_o then_o i_o conceive_v it_o be_v fit_a for_o maintenance_n that_o the_o least_o shall_v be_v a_o thousand_o pound_n a_o year_n to_o live_v upon_o and_o the_o great_a no_o more_o in_o this_o particular_a i_o be_o for_o a_o parity_n nay_o i_o will_v have_v none_o of_o they_o lord_n but_o such_o on_o who_o his_o majesty_n shall_v by_o his_o
