against_o some_o of_o our_o preacher_n a_o charge_n which_o contain_v crime_n of_o so_o high_a a_o nature_n that_o either_o you_o or_o they_o who_o you_o mean_v deserve_v the_o severe_a punishment_n who_o they_o be_v you_o particular_o aim_v at_o i_o be_o ignorant_a but_o i_o something_o wonder_n that_o you_o be_v not_o call_v upon_o by_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o london_n clergy_n who_o be_v most_o likely_a to_o be_v concern_v in_o this_o matter_n to_o interpret_v your_o meaning_n and_o declare_v who_o these_o pest_n be_v by_o who_o the_o church_n be_v endanger_v for_o whilst_o the_o

be_v many_o calumny_n i_o know_v which_o a_o wise_a man_n shall_v rather_o slight_v then_o take_v any_o notice_n of_o but_o there_o be_v other_o of_o such_o a_o nature_n that_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v despise_v but_o of_o which_o the_o great_a man_n in_o the_o church_n have_v ever_o endeavour_v to_o clear_v themselves_o you_o be_v not_o ignorant_a i_o suppose_v of_o that_o which_o some_o

therefore_o since_o you_o endeavour_v to_o fix_v even_o this_o horrid_a brand_n on_o some_o or_o other_o of_o our_o clergy_n and_o leave_v we_o at_o liberty_n to_o suspect_v any_o body_n because_o you_o name_v no_o body_n there_o be_v none_o of_o they_o but_o have_v reason_n to_o ask_v as_o the_o apostle_n do_v our_o saviour_n when_o he_o tell_v they_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v betray_v he_o sir_n be_v it_o i_o be_v it_o i_o speak_v sir_n for_o god_n sake_n though_o they_o think_v fit_a to_o be_v silent_a and_o say_v nothing_o speak_v and_o tell_v we_o who_o the_o man_n be_v on_o who_o you_o have_v set_v so_o black_a a_o character_n you_o be_v bind_v to_o answer_v and_o give_v we_o some_o account_n of_o it_o both_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o we_o poor_a layman_n and_o for_o the_o

do_v not_o deny_v we_o this_o request_n for_o we_o poor_a soul_n be_v in_o a_o dangerous_a case_n if_o we_o follow_v those_o with_o such_o veneration_n as_o be_v due_a to_o the_o minister_n of_o
