laughter_n or_o indignation_n of_o every_o reader_n as_o he_o be_v in_o humour_n when_o he_o meet_v with_o it_o for_o he_o who_o will_v vouchsafe_v such_o stuff_n any_o other_o reply_n may_v just_o be_v think_v guilty_a of_o as_o great_a trifle_n in_o refute_v as_o he_o in_o advance_v it_o his_o remark_n upon_o the_o confuter_n conclusion_n be_v a_o pure_a declamation_n and_o i_o have_v no_o great_a appetite_n to_o encounter_v a_o schoolboy_n exercise_n he_o tell_v we_o he_o can_v possible_o make_v sense_n of_o what_o the_o confuter_n say_v in_o reference_n to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o her_o religion_n by_o law_n establish_v be_v the_o true_a primitive_a christianity_n for_o so_o run_v his_o word_n and_o what_o then_o be_v the_o confuter_n bind_v to_o find_v he_o in_o understanding_n he_o may_v have_v enough_o to_o do_v at_o that_o rate_n i_o think_v he_o have_v explain_v himself_o in_o the_o next_o page_n and_o that_o very_o pertinent_o too_o by_o tell_v he_o that_o our_o religion_n be_v as_o old_a as_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n with_o who_o whosoever_o agree_v they_o be_v true_o ancient_a church_n though_o of_o no_o long_a stand_n than_o yesterday_o as_o they_o that_o disagree_v with_o they_o be_v new_a though_o they_o can_v run_v up_o their_o pedigree_n to_o the_o very_a apostle_n and_o this_o he_o far_o confirm_v by_o tertullian_n authority_n now_o if_o the_o adviser_n have_v have_v a_o mind_n or_o ability_n to_o have_v speak_v pertinent_o to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n he_o shall_v have_v endeavour_v to_o have_v show_v either_o that_o conformity_n with_o primitive_a and_o apostolic_a doctrine_n do_v not_o make_v a_o church_n true_o ancient_a and_o apostolic_a or_o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o engl._n have_v no_o such_o conformity_n for_o if_o they_o have_v it_o will_v be_v find_v that_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n have_v a_o great_a hand_n in_o the_o constitution_n of_o this_o church_n than_o in_o that_o of_o rome_n notwithstanding_o his_o trifle_a harangue_n to_o the_o contrary_n the_o world_n know_v very_o well_o he_o tell_v we_o when_o this_o church_n be_v first_o establish_v by_o law_n and_o so_o do_v the_o world_n know_v too_o when_o christianity_n be_v first_o seat_v in_o the_o throne_n and_o protect_v by_o the_o secular_a arm_n and_o yet_o i_o believe_v the_o christian_n of_o those_o day_n think_v no_o worse_o of_o their_o religion_n for_o that_o nor_o i_o believe_v will_v the_o adviser_n think_v worse_o of_o his_o if_o the_o law_n be_v on_o its_o side_n but_o where_o this_o church_n be_v before_o it_o be_v establish_v by_o law_n that_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a to_o tell_v why_o true_o in_o my_o mind_n it_o be_v much_o in_o the_o same_o state_n with_o the_o jewish_a church_n under_o the_o dominion_n of_o pharaoh_n in_o egypt_n the_o one_o be_v bear_v down_o and_o enslave_v by_o a_o temporal_a tyranny_n the_o other_o by_o both_o a_o temporal_a and_o spiritual_a usurpation_n till_o god_n be_v please_v as_o to_o rescue_v the_o one_o so_o the_o other_o too_o out_o of_o the_o house_n of_o bondage_n after_o this_o he_o whissle_v and_o play_v about_o the_o separation_n and_o novelty_n of_o this_o church_n to_o which_o i_o shall_v only_o return_v that_o if_o he_o please_v to_o be_v but_o so_o kind_a to_o himself_o and_o to_o we_o as_o to_o lay_v aside_o the_o buffoon_n and_o declamator_n for_o a_o while_n and_o condescend_v for_o once_o to_o speak_v to_o the_o purpose_n upon_o that_o or_o any_o other_o subject_n he_o need_v not_o fear_v a_o suitable_a reply_n from_o some_o or_o other_o in_o the_o last_o place_n he_o be_v for_o find_v out_o the_o confuter_n some_o work_n in_o relation_n to_o the_o proof_n of_o our_o adequate_a belief_n of_o the_o creed_n and_o in_o the_o same_o sense_n in_o which_o it_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o profess_v by_o the_o primitive_a church_n no_o man_n who_o know_v the_o reverend_n and_o learned_a confuter_n can_v doubt_v of_o his_o ability_n for_o a_o much_o hard_a task_n than_o what_o the_o adviser_n will_v set_v he_o but_o i_o presume_v he_o know_v how_o to_o dispose_v of_o his_o time_n much_o better_a than_o to_o lay_v it_o out_o in_o refute_v the_o suggestion_n of_o every_o incompetent_a adversary_n and_o since_o he_o have_v think_v fit_a to_o fling_v out_o this_o surmise_n about_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o my_o apprehension_n it_o will_v much_o more_o become_v he_o to_o make_v it_o out_o in_o the_o first_o place_n and_o then_o perhaps_o he_o may_v hear_v of_o the_o confuter_n if_o he_o chance_v to_o write_v any_o thing_n worth_a his_o confutation_n he_o tell_v we_o in_o one_o place_n of_o the_o forwardness_n of_o the_o beardless_a divine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n i_o must_v confess_v i_o know_v not_o whether_o the_o down_n be_v still_o upon_o his_o own_o chin_n or_o no_o but_o if_o not_o i_o must_v needs_o tell_v he_o that_o for_o aught_o i_o find_v in_o his_o friendly_a half_a sheet_n of_o paper_n the_o beard_n contibute_v no_o more_o to_o the_o make_n of_o the_o divine_a than_o it_o do_v to_o the_o make_n of_o the_o philosopher_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v conclude_v with_o one_o piece_n of_o advice_n to_o he_o and_o that_o which_o may_v do_v he_o more_o true_a service_n than_o all_o he_o have_v give_v the_o confuter_n can_v ever_o do_v he_o and_o that_o be_v that_o if_o it_o be_v real_o his_o hard_a fate_n not_o to_o be_v able_a to_o write_v more_o to_o the_o purpose_n than_o what_o he_o have_v hitherto_o do_v he_o will_v give_v over_o write_v in_o this_o kind_n and_o for_o the_o future_a follow_v the_o bent_n of_o his_o genius_n which_o seem_v to_o lead_v he_o rather_o to_o the_o comical_a humour_n of_o the_o stage_n than_o into_o the_o field_n of_o controversy_n finis_fw-la
