138._o pag._n 138._o but_o you_o be_v at_o a_o loss_n it_o seem_v in_o that_o which_o you_o ought_v to_o have_v prove_v viz._n that_o any_o of_o these_o domestic_n have_v charge_n elsewhere_o and_o till_o you_o can_v show_v this_o you_o say_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n you_o plead_v likewise_o for_o archbishop_n and_o bishop_n have_v chaplain_n in_o their_o house_n pag._n 139._o and_o sure_o no_o good-natured_a man_n will_v abate_v they_o that_o privilege_n but_o that_o they_o be_v so_o necessary_a to_o be_v subservient_fw-fr to_o they_o in_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n be_v a_o new_a notion_n i_o believe_v the_o prebendary_n and_o experience_a clergyman_n of_o the_o diocese_n may_v do_v the_o bishop_n better_a service_n in_o this_o particular_a you_o have_v find_v out_o a_o office_n for_o they_o which_o the_o canon_n and_o constitution_n of_o the_o church_n never_o give_v they_o as_o for_o the_o govern_n of_o the_o church_n it_o be_v to_o be_v hope_v that_o every_o diocese_n afford_v man_n better_o qualify_v to_o assist_v the_o bishop_n in_o it_o than_o his_o chaplain_n who_o be_v just_o come_v from_o roll_a lad_n in_o the_o university_n and_o who_o themselves_o sometime_o be_v hardly_o of_o age_n to_o be_v churchwarden_n but_o though_o bishop_n ought_v to_o be_v allow_v chaplain_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o necessary_o follow_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o continue_v in_o their_o attendance_n after_o they_o be_v well_o benefice_v prelate_n be_v general_o in_o a_o capacity_n to_o confer_v or_o procure_v benefice_n for_o their_o domestic_n so_o near_o their_o house_n that_o they_o may_v in_o some_o measure_n attend_v both_o together_o and_o if_o they_o can_v do_v this_o yet_o they_o have_v usual_o either_o prebend_n though_o the_o archbishop_n have_v but_o three_o pag._n 18._o as_o you_o seem_v with_o some_o concern_v to_o observe_v or_o sine_fw-la cure_v to_o gratify_v their_o chaplain_n with_o which_o one_o will_v think_v may_v suffice_v till_o they_o can_v with_o convenience_n dismiss_v they_o a_o little_a care_n and_o resolution_n may_v soon_o take_v off_o this_o objection_n now_o i_o suppose_v by_o this_o time_n you_o have_v put_v i_o down_o if_o you_o know_v my_o name_n for_o one_o of_o the_o traditor_n and_o i_o thank_v you_o for_o provide_v i_o such_o excellent_a company_n for_o it_o seem_v archbishop_n williams_n be_v one_o of_o they_o pag._n 12._o and_o the_o present_a bishop_n of_o salisbury_z be_v in_o your_o account_n a_o notorious_a one_o nay_o and_o the_o archbishop_n himself_o must_v come_v into_o the_o number_n for_o licens_v his_o book_n 250._o v._o bp._n of_o s_n pastoral_n care_n pag._n 250._o and_o encourage_v the_o author_n to_o write_v it_o but_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o sir_n that_o i_o neither_o understand_v your_o manner_n nor_o wit_n in_o fix_v such_o a_o odious_a character_n upon_o so_o deserve_o adhere_v man_n nor_o can_v i_o see_v how_o the_o compellation_n fit_v they_o for_o i_o never_o hear_v that_o they_o or_o any_o other_o of_o the_o clergy_n who_o you_o be_v so_o severe_a upon_o ever_o resign_v their_o bibles_n or_o renounce_v their_o religion_n as_o the_o traditor_n of_o old_a do_v nay_o they_o have_v give_v great_a demonstration_n of_o their_o courage_n and_o zeal_n in_o maintain_v they_o than_o ever_o can_v be_v expect_v from_o you_o so_o that_o i_o can_v make_v sense_n of_o the_o expression_n unless_o you_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o the_o permission_n of_o plurality_n and_o nonresidence_n be_v as_o necessary_a to_o religion_n as_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n you_o say_v they_o betray_v the_o outguard_n of_o religion_n i_o know_v not_o what_o you_o mean_v by_o the_o outguard_n but_o i_o be_o sure_a enormous_a plurality_n and_o neglect_v of_o cure_n can_v just_o be_v so_o call_v this_o be_v rather_o the_o breach_n at_o which_o seducer_n enter_v in_o for_o if_o the_o most_o eminent_a of_o the_o clergy_n will_v once_o in_o earnest_n set_v about_o their_o proper_a business_n i_o shall_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o schism_n and_o confusion_n will_v gradual_o lessen_v and_o perhaps_o at_o last_o altogether_o disappear_v your_o charity_n run_v high_a when_o you_o say_v you_o will_v not_o lay_v the_o imputation_n of_o infidelity_n upon_o all_o antipluralist_n pag._n 12._o because_o some_o you_o hope_v act_v upon_o a_o mistake_a zeal_n and_o false_a prejudices_fw-la but_o it_o shall_v seem_v as_o for_o the_o rest_n you_o can_v abate_v they_o a_o inch_n of_o this_o charge_n so_o that_o all_o be_v infidel_n with_o you_o who_o do_v not_o believe_v the_o lawfulness_n and_o convenience_n of_o plurality_n and_o nonresidence_n unless_o invincible_a ignorance_n excuse_v they_o now_o this_o be_v a_o article_n which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v not_o yet_o get_v into_o her_o creed_n but_o probable_o they_o will_v put_v it_o into_o the_o next_o edition_n especial_o since_o you_o have_v silence_v the_o spanish_a bishop_n who_o be_v the_o main_a opposer_n of_o it_o the_o bitterness_n of_o your_o stile_n and_o your_o unchristian_a way_n of_o writing_n will_v provoke_v a_o man_n to_o retort_v the_o accusation_n and_o
