our_o sense_n which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o strong_a proof_n of_o christianity_n it_o be_v not_o many_o day_n since_o i_o come_v to_o mr._n n._n and_o find_v he_o in_o his_o study_n have_v his_o eye_n fix_v on_o a_o book_n with_o the_o read_n of_o which_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o take_v up_o as_o make_v i_o think_v i_o shall_v do_v he_o wrong_n to_o interrupt_v he_o intend_v therefore_o to_o withdraw_v without_o his_o see_v i_o i_o can_v not_o do_v it_o without_o some_o small_a disturbance_n which_o make_v he_o turn_v his_o head_n towards_o the_o place_n where_o i_o be_v and_o hasty_o arise_v towards_o i_o you_o shall_v not_o be_v go_v say_v he_o for_o i_o prize_v your_o company_n at_o another_o rate_n than_o thus_o to_o lose_v it_o the_o loss_n reply_v i_o will_v rather_o be_v i_o and_o i_o be_o afraid_a lest_o i_o shall_v deprive_v you_o of_o the_o pleasure_n of_o some_o delightful_a read_n as_o know_v by_o experience_n how_o vexatious_a it_o be_v to_o be_v

i_o doubt_v not_o but_o this_o which_o lie_v before_o i_o be_v of_o that_o number_n but_o you_o have_v wherewith_o to_o make_v i_o amends_o for_o this_o interruption_n for_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o before_o we_o part_v you_o will_v increase_v the_o pleasure_n which_o this_o read_n afford_v i_o and_o approve_v this_o book_n as_o i_o dare_v say_v you_o will_v you_o will_v not_o a_o little_o

read_v it_o with_o great_a delight_n not_o to_o mention_v the_o style_n which_o be_v delicate_a and_o want_v no_o ornament_n i_o sin_v it_o replenish_v with_o judicious_a observation_n and_o such_o as_o lie_v out_o of_o the_o common_a road_n full_a of_o great_a sense_n and_o plainness_n in_o short_a it_o be_v a_o work_n worthy_a its_o author_n who_o hold_v a_o considerable_a place_n among_o

it_o however_o say_v he_o it_o be_v reply_v i_o that_o this_o book_n be_v make_v by_o one_o of_o your_o party_n if_o that_o be_v all_o the_o fault_n answer_v he_o i_o be_o much_o mistake_v if_o mr._n huet_n ever_o correct_v it_o you_o may_v judge_v what_o you_o please_v of_o it_o reply_v i_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o this_o be_v a_o capital_a fault_n and_o spoil_n the_o whole_a work._n for_o whereas_o this_o will_v have_v be_v a_o excellent_a piece_n have_v it_o be_v write_v by_o a_o protestant_n come_v from_o a_o person_n of_o your_o communion_n it_o lose_v all_o its_o force_n and_o conviction_n and_o overthrow_v its_o own_o argument_n and_o shall_v it_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o know_a infidel_n he_o can_v with_o one_o word_n answer_v it_o this_o be_v very_o surprise_v say_v mr._n n._n and_o you_o must_v be_v a_o very_a great_a bigot_n in_o your_o religion_n to_o offer_v such_o a_o strange_a and_o incredible_a paradox_n have_v your_o belief_n the_o privilege_n of_o

our_o hand_n there_o may_v be_v reply_v i_o some_o truth_n in_o what_o you_o now_o say_v and_o i_o give_v a_o instance_n of_o this_o from_o one_o of_o your_o author_n prince_n author_n education_n of_o a_o prince_n who_o show_v that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o seneca_n maxim_n be_v false_a and_o ridiculous_a in_o the_o write_n of_o that_o philosopher_n whereas_o they_o will_v be_v very_o

the_o effect_n which_o your_o transubstantiation_n operate_v destroy_v the_o most_o convince_a argument_n you_o can_v offer_v the_o infidel_n and_o give_v they_o a_o infallible_a mean_n to_o defend_v
