a_o letter_n from_o gilbert_n burnet_n d._n d._n to_o mr._n simon_n lowth_n vicar_n of_o cosmus-blene_a in_o the_o diocese_n of_o canterbury_n occasion_v by_o his_o late_a book_n of_o the_o subject_n of_o church-power_n reverend_a sir_n i_o know_v no_o other_o address_n to_o you_o but_o this_o of_o the_o press_n which_o i_o hope_v will_v find_v you_o out_o you_o have_v force_v i_o to_o deal_v so_o public_o with_o you_o by_o your_o beginning_n with_o i_o and_o which_o be_v yet_o worse_o by_o your_o refuse_v to_o give_v your_o own_o eye_n that_o satisfaction_n which_o i_o desire_v a_o neighbour_a clergyman_n of_o you_o to_o offer_v you_o when_o i_o see_v your_o letter_n to_o the_o two_o dean_n in_o which_o you_o accuse_v the_o dean_n of_o st._n paul_n for_o his_o copy_n out_o unfaithful_o the_o paper_n of_o cranmer_n and_o the_o other_o dean_n which_o he_o have_v publish_v and_o add_v that_o i_o have_v also_o print_v they_o imperfect_a and_o so_o have_v abuse_v the_o house_n of_o commons_o unto_o a_o approbation_n of_o my_o history_n of_o the_o reformation_n where_o by_o the_o way_n i_o can_v imagine_v why_o you_o leave_v out_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n who_o approbation_n be_v print_v with_o the_o other_o i_o confess_v i_o wonder_v upon_o what_o you_o can_v found_v so_o heavy_a a_o charge_n i_o print_v no_o record_n in_o that_o collection_n without_o compare_v the_o copy_n exact_o with_o the_o original_a for_o i_o think_v that_o too_o important_a a_o thing_n to_o trust_v it_o to_o any_o person_n whatsoever_o therefore_o find_v myself_o accuse_v of_o a_o design_a fraud_n which_o if_o true_a must_v needs_o shake_v the_o credit_n of_o my_o whole_a book_n i_o do_v what_o i_o can_v to_o prevent_v your_o bring_v that_o shame_n upon_o yourself_o which_o i_o do_v now_o unwilling_o lay_v on_o you_o not_o so_o much_o for_o the_o support_n of_o my_o own_o credit_n as_o for_o maintain_v the_o reputation_n of_o that_o work_n i_o therefore_o desire_v your_o neighbour_n to_o tell_v you_o that_o i_o be_v sure_a i_o have_v print_v all_o those_o paper_n faithful_o and_o exact_o without_o depart_v from_o the_o original_n in_o any_o thing_n but_o the_o spell_a i_o add_v that_o if_o you_o think_v fit_a to_o fall_v on_o any_o discourse_n or_o inference_n of_o i_o you_o may_v do_v as_o you_o please_v but_o if_o you_o accuse_v i_o of_o unfaithfulness_n in_o publish_v any_o of_o the_o paper_n that_o be_v in_o my_o collection_n imperfect_a i_o shall_v be_v force_v to_o justify_v myself_o though_o to_o your_o cost_n for_o in_o such_o accusation_n a_o man_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v over_o patient_a i_o bid_v he_o also_o tell_v you_o that_o as_o i_o have_v print_v those_o paper_n exact_o so_o if_o you_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o see_v the_o original_n themselves_o i_o shall_v procure_v they_o for_o you_o this_o be_v do_v many_o month_n ago_o he_o bring_v i_o a_o answer_n from_o you_o that_o i_o can_v make_v nothing_o of_o but_o now_o i_o see_v it_o in_o print_n and_o so_o i_o will_v examine_v it_o you_o say_v that_o if_o you_o may_v believe_v the_o dean_n of_o windsor_n dr._n durel_n there_o be_v among_o these_o paper_n in_o dr._n stillingfleet_n ms._n one_o of_o dr._n leighton_n in_o which_o there_o be_v two_o assertion_n contrary_a to_o cranmer_n opinion_n concern_v church-power_n and_o that_o cranmer_n sign_v dr._n leighton_n paper_n from_o which_o he_o infer_v that_o cranmer_n change_v his_o mind_n and_o subscribe_v to_o leighton_n opinion_n and_o of_o all_o this_o you_o say_v i_o have_v give_v no_o account_n to_o the_o world_n but_o have_v omit_v it_o in_o two_o impression_n i_o will_v willing_o believe_v the_o best_a of_o every_o man_n and_o make_v the_o best_a of_o all_o thing_n that_o i_o can_v and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v have_v impute_v this_o to_o a_o extreme_a carelessness_n in_o you_o but_o since_o you_o have_v charge_v i_o so_o severe_o for_o unfaithfulness_n and_o abuse_v the_o house_n of_o commons_o in_o it_o and_o since_o you_o refuse_v to_o accept_v of_o the_o satisfaction_n which_o i_o have_v offer_v you_o i_o must_v crave_v leave_n to_o tell_v you_o for_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n and_o needs_o a_o preface_n to_o soften_v it_o that_o you_o have_v accuse_v i_o both_o uncharitable_o as_o to_o the_o manner_n of_o it_o and_o unjust_o as_o to_o the_o matter_n since_o these_o very_a thing_n that_o you_o say_v i_o have_v leave_v out_o be_v in_o my_o collection_n take_v verbatim_o from_o the_o original_a which_o will_v appear_v by_o my_o set_n down_o that_o which_o you_o cite_v from_o the_o dean_n of_o windsor_n and_o that_o which_o be_v in_o my_o collection_n over_o against_o one_o another_o there_o be_v indeed_o a_o variation_n in_o the_o word_n though_o none_o in_o the_o sense_n i_o be_v exact_o according_a to_o the_o original_a and_o the_o variation_n of_o the_o dean_n of_o windsor_n from_o it_o though_o they_o make_v no_o change_n in_o the_o sense_n yet_o be_v too_o many_o to_o be_v the_o mistake_v of_o a_o transcriber_n therefore_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v that_o as_o dr._n durel_n write_v they_o out_o he_o put_v they_o either_o in_o latin_a or_o french_a intend_v perhaps_o to_o make_v use_n of_o they_o in_o one_o of_o these_o tongue_n and_o that_o afterward_o he_o translate_v they_o into_o his_o own_o english_a when_o the_o manuscript_n may_v be_v perhaps_o no_o more_o in_o his_o power_n to_o copy_v they_o from_o the_o original_a the_o reasonableness_n of_o this_o conjecture_n will_v appear_v from_o a_o view_n of_o the_o word_n
