A30048	To the most reverend the archbishops and the right reverend bishops humbly presented	Bugg, Francis, 1640-1724?	1699 (1699)	Wing B5398; ESTC R34388	3,557	2

to_o the_o most_o reverend_a the_o arch-bishop_n and_o the_o right_n reverend_a bishop_n humble_o present_v my_o lord_n since_o it_o have_v please_v god_n of_o his_o great_a mercy_n to_o convince_v i_o of_o my_o former_a error_n it_o have_v please_v he_o to_o incline_v my_o mind_n to_o meditate_v upon_o and_o to_o study_v the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o the_o more_o i_o have_v be_v intent_n hereupon_o the_o more_o my_o judgement_n have_v be_v confirm_v in_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n profess_v by_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o thereupon_o i_o have_v think_v it_o my_o duty_n to_o discover_v and_o oppose_v destructive_a error_n which_o tend_v to_o overthrow_v the_o christian_a faith_n as_o well_o as_o to_o vindicate_v according_a to_o my_o small_a talon_n my_o mother-church_n from_o those_o calumny_n undeserved_o cast_v upon_o she_o by_o unsound_a schismatic_n and_o i_o be_o afraid_a i_o may_v say_v self-condemned_a heretic_n since_o my_o reason_n tell_v i_o they_o must_v needs_o persist_v wilful_o but_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o and_o what_o else_o may_v be_v say_v on_o this_o foot_n i_o do_v nor_o pretend_v to_o a_o extraordinary_a call_n but_o account_v my_o sel●_n under_o your_o lordship_n command_n believe_v that_o as_o in_o the_o state_n so_o in_o the_o church_n their_o must_v be_v government_n and_o consequent_o governor_n to_o who_o we_o ought_v in_o point_n of_o duty_n to_o submit_v so_o that_o if_o your_o lordship_n shall_v command_v my_o silence_n i_o shall_v as_o in_o duty_n bind_v ready_o obey_v and_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o my_o labour_n herein_o shall_v be_v think_v useful_a in_o oppose_v the_o error_n of_o this_o domineer_a sect_n i_o shall_v with_o all_o faithfulness_n continue_v it_o with_o due_a regard_n attend_v continual_o upon_o this_o very_a thing_n have_v respect_n to_o the_o necessary_a circumstance_n such_o a_o work_n require_v in_o this_o deprave_a age_n and_o thereupon_o lest_o this_o book_n of_o i_o now_o present_v shall_v not_o have_v meet_v with_o that_o reception_n which_o i_o thank_v god_n it_o have_v both_o your_o lordship_n and_o the_o clergy_n in_o general_n may_v safe_o have_v say_v you_o know_v nothing_o of_o it_o to_o that_o end_n also_o i_o mention_v the_o bounty_n receive_v of_o the_o gentry_n the_o justices_z and_o protestant_a dissenter_n to_o take_v off_o occasion_n from_o they_o that_o seek_v occasion_n for_o as_o to_o the_o last_o they_o never_o give_v i_o above_o 50_o s._n and_o the_o gentry_n and_o justice_n not_o 5_o l._n but_o my_o support_n i_o thankful_o acknowledge_v have_v principal_o be_v the_o bounty_n of_o your_o lordship_n the_o university_n and_o particular_a clergyman_n for_o which_o i_o bless_v god_n on_o your_o behalf_n pray_v for_o your_o health_n and_o prosperity_n every_o way_n and_o have_v be_v exercise_v herein_o i_o humble_o beg_v leave_v to_o give_v your_o lordship_n a_o account_n of_o what_o i_o have_v do_v since_o december_n 1698._o and_o as_o i_o have_v never_o let_v mortal_a eye_n see_v the_o last_o letter_n to_o your_o lordship_n so_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v be_v so_o cautious_a in_o this_o as_o will_v preserve_v all_o in_o its_o due_a place_n for_o i_o have_v a_o printer_n i_o can_v confide_v in_o first_o as_o to_o the_o conference_n at_o west-dereham_a the_o quaker_n be_v the_o aggressor_n they_o be_v before_o that_o very_a troublesome_a to_o the_o clergy_n in_o that_o country_n by_o frequent_a challenge_n up●n_o which_o both_o mr._n park_n and_o mr._n meriton_n write_v to_o
