little_o what_o protestant_n be_v shall_v let_v slip_v his_o text_n and_o follow_v our_o mooish_a way_n shall_v be_v so_o unjust_a to_o his_o flock_n as_o not_o to_o spend_v his_o glass_n in_o

and_o impartial_a reader_n to_o examine_v this_o affair_n of_o the_o mannerly_a and_o this_o time_n i_o will_v not_o judge_v neither_o for_o myself_o nor_o he_o but_o however_o notwithstanding_o this_o little_a displeasure_n of_o my_o answerer_n 24._o it_o clear_v up_o again_o with_o he_o he_o pardon_v all_o frank_o and_o we_o be_v content_v say_v he_o they_o shall_v ridicule_n our_o church_n if_o they_o will_v permit_v we_o true_o to_o represent_v they_o here_o now_o we_o have_v a_o liberty_n grant_v of_o ridicul_v which_o i_o resolve_v never_o to_o make_v use_n of_o unless_o it_o be_v

the_o answerer_n will_v be_v please_v not_o to_o take_v that_o for_o ridicul_v in_o we_o which_o in_o they_o he_o call_v true_o represent_v this_o will_v be_v a_o very_a signal_n favour_v indeed_o if_o it_o can_v be_v obtain_v but_o i_o almost_o despair_v for_o by_o all_o that_o i_o can_v discover_v in_o their_o true_o represent_v it_o be_v so_o unlike_o what_o he_o call_v it_o that_o nothing_o

of_o england_n and_o if_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v to_o be_v down_o right_o misrepresent_v and_o ridicul_v instead_o of_o true_o represent_v i_o will_v even_o throw_v up_o the_o cause_n and_o grant_v the_o papist_n to_o be_v as_o black_a as_o they_o make_v they_o this_o appear_v something_o already_o in_o the_o character_n now_o examine_v which_o he_o own_v to_o be_v ridicul_v though_o it_o be_v

how_o ill_o use_v he_o make_v of_o this_o favour_n for_o have_v so_o far_o comply_v with_o he_o that_o the_o word_n misrepresent_v in_o the_o title_n of_o my_o book_n be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v in_o

misrepresent_v the_o representer_n i_o yield_v to_o he_o indeed_o for_o peace_n sake_n that_o the_o title_n of_o a_o papist_n misrepresent_v be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v in_o its_o strict_a and_o proper_a sense_n as_o misrepresent_v signify_v only_a downright_o lie_v or_o false_o charge_v matter_n of_o fact_n the_o whole_a character_n be_v not_o of_o that_o nature_n and_o this_o with_o our_o

therefore_o as_o our_o answerer_n will_v have_v it_o it_o contain_v nothing_o at_o all_o wrongful_o charge_v upon_o they_o and_o protestant_n do_v not_o in_o any_o thing_n misrepresent_v the_o

last_o favour_n i_o do_v he_o as_o to_o accommodate_v away_o my_o sense_n and_o reason_n to_o do_v he_o another_o no_o transubstantiation_n be_v not_o half_a so_o disagreeable_a to_o
