gentleman_n now_o of_o late_a well_o know_v to_o the_o world_n who_o have_v marry_v his_o niece_n interpose_v so_o violent_o in_o his_o behalf_n that_o even_o his_o merit_n and_o know_v loyalty_n can_v not_o procure_v his_o expulsion_n this_o kindness_n of_o his_o relation_n who_o be_v engage_v on_o the_o other_o side_n be_v so_o well_o resent_v by_o he_o that_o afterward_o in_o the_o reign_n of_o k._n james_n ii_o he_o be_v extreme_o please_v when_o upon_o the_o alteration_n of_o affair_n in_o england_n he_o have_v a_o opportunity_n offer_v to_o he_o of_o requite_v the_o obligation_n to_o one_o of_o the_o party_n and_o indeed_o almost_o of_o pay_v the_o debt_n in_o kind_n and_o here_o you_o must_v excuse_v a_o very_a short_a digression_n if_o i_o acquaint_v you_o that_o this_o be_v not_o the_o single_a instance_n of_o his_o life_n wherein_o herdiscover_v his_o fix_a principle_n that_o no_o difference_n of_o judgement_n or_o opinion_n ought_v to_o hinder_v the_o mutual_a office_n of_o friendship_n charity_n and_o benevolence_n much_o less_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o most_o indispensable_a duty_n in_o the_o world_n that_o of_o gratitude_n for_o it_o be_v well_o know_v to_o many_o now_o live_v that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o most_o exalt_a loyalty_n when_o man_n outward_a profession_n of_o fidelity_n be_v not_o so_o much_o the_o test_n of_o their_o zeal_n as_o the_o earnest_a of_o their_o preferment_n he_o engage_v so_o far_o for_o his_o friend_n not_o in_o espouse_v his_o tenet_n which_o perhaps_o be_v erroneous_a but_o in_o procure_v his_o safety_n that_o he_o upon_o that_o account_n lose_v a_o bishopric_n which_o have_v be_v often_o promise_v to_o he_o and_o which_o seem_v in_o reality_n to_o have_v be_v otherwise_o design_v for_o he_o but_o to_o return_v to_o our_o author_n life_n after_o the_o restoration_n of_o k._n charles_n ii_o he_o have_v so_o great_a a_o reliance_n on_o his_o friend_n dr._n sheldon_n archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n that_o though_o he_o be_v unanimous_o name_v if_o not_o actual_o choose_v principal_a of_o jesus_n college_n in_o oxford_n he_o decline_v the_o offer_n of_o that_o creditable_a post_n out_o of_o a_o prospect_n i_o believe_v of_o great_a advantage_n by_o his_o stay_n at_o london_n his_o preferment_n at_o last_o be_v the_o deanery_n of_o chichester_n and_o the_o precentorship_n of_o that_o church_n a_o prebend_n of_o westminster_n a_o rectory_n a_o sine-cure_n with_o another_o additional_a dignity_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v perceive_v therefore_o that_o he_o never_o make_v himself_o liable_a to_o the_o censure_n of_o those_o that_o blame_v plurality_n but_o it_o ought_v further_o to_o be_v know_v for_o the_o prevention_n of_o other_o objection_n that_o he_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o have_v accept_v two_o dignity_n seem_o incompatible_a in_o one_o church_n if_o he_o have_v not_o obtain_v a_o promise_n from_o k._n ch._n ii_o of_o annex_v the_o precentorship_n perpetual_o to_o the_o deanery_n of_o chichester_n the_o small_a revenue_n that_o belong_v to_o the_o deanery_n of_o that_o ancient_a cathedral_n recommend_v this_o design_n to_o his_o care_n and_o the_o meeting_n of_o the_o two_o separate_a interest_n in_o one_o person_n be_v the_o most_o probable_a method_n of_o accomplish_v it_o the_o advances_n make_v in_o this_o affair_n the_o licence_n under_o the_o privy_a seal_n the_o consent_n of_o the_o archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n and_o the_o opinion_n of_o very_a eminent_a council_n therein_o be_v now_o in_o my_o hand_n and_o though_o indeed_o the_o design_n be_v always_o pursue_v with_o earnestness_n and_o vigour_n by_o our_o author_n yet_o so_o it_o happen_v that_o through_o other_o negligence_n it_o not_o only_o as_o church-work_n usual_o procee_v slow_o but_o by_o reason_n of_o some_o difficulty_n arise_v between_o a_o warm_a bishop_n of_o that_o see_v and_o dr._n stradling_n then_o dean_n thereof_o be_v then_o whole_o discontinue_v and_o be_v now_o rather_o to_o be_v desire_v than_o expect_v i_o be_o well_o assure_v that_o during_o his_o life_n the_o right_n of_o that_o church_n be_v well_o defend_v the_o revenue_n of_o it_o improve_v and_o the_o fabric_n beautify_v and_o repair_v and_o this_o be_v the_o rather_o probable_a because_o when_o his_o great_a adversary_n have_v bring_v up_o to_o court_v a_o charge_n against_o he_o it_o fix_v no_o other_o crime_n upon_o he_o in_o that_o station_n than_o his_o too_o great_a negligence_n and_o remissness_n in_o promote_a the_o interest_n of_o the_o crown_n in_o the_o choice_n of_o parliament_n man_n for_o chichester_n the_o good_a prelate_n dr._n carleton_n a_o man_n possible_o of_o no_o ill_a principle_n but_o much_o heat_n be_v angry_a that_o man_n that_o agree_v with_o he_o in_o opinion_n be_v not_o likewise_o of_o the_o same_o frame_n and_o temper_v and_o equal_o violent_a in_o execute_v their_o design_n the_o pulse_n of_o our_o author_n it_o seem_v do_v not_o beat_v so_o high_a nor_o do_v his_o blood_n circulate_v so_o quick_a nor_o be_v he_o by_o the_o bent_n of_o his_o nature_n so_o much_o fit_v for_o a_o popular_a and_o tumultuary_a canvas_n and_o therefore_o the_o want_n of_o passion_n be_v by_o the_o zealous_a bishop_n easy_o misinterpret_v lukewarmness_n and_o the_o observance_n of_o decency_n in_o his_o application_n to_o the_o elector_n seem_v to_o
