a_o letter_n to_o dr._n e._n hyde_n in_o answer_n to_o one_o of_o his_o occasion_v by_o the_o late_a insurrection_n at_o salisbury_n sir_n it_o be_v my_o resolution_n a_o good_a while_n ago_o of_o which_o i_o be_o able_a to_o give_v a_o good_a account_n though_o i_o do_v not_o to_o you_o never_o to_o deal_v with_o you_o in_o a_o private_a way_n of_o write_v under_o seal_n but_o to_o maintain_v a_o public_a contestation_n with_o you_o for_o all_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o we_o in_o a_o fair_a character_n then_o either_o you_o or_o i_o can_v write_v and_o to_o make_v all_o conscientious_a and_o rational_a reader_n judge_n of_o the_o right_n we_o claim_v and_o of_o the_o wrong_n we_o charge_v upon_o each_o other_o and_o your_o last_o letter_n of_o march_n 29._o rather_o full_o confirm_v i_o in_o this_o course_n than_o any_o way_n divert_v i_o from_o it_o because_o as_o i_o shall_v prove_v before_o i_o conclude_v my_o exception_n against_o it_o it_o refer_v to_o now_o public_a affair_n though_o a_o little_a before_o secret_o carry_v in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o plot_n both_o for_o the_o motive_n which_o induce_v you_o to_o it_o and_o for_o the_o end_n you_o aim_v at_o in_o it_o before_o i_o come_v to_o examination_n and_o answer_n of_o the_o part_n of_o it_o i_o will_v premise_v my_o general_a censure_n of_o the_o whole_a which_o be_v this_o in_o the_o letter_n you_o have_v show_v such_o boldness_n in_o assert_v that_o against_o i_o which_o be_v untrue_a such_o eagerness_n in_o exact_v of_o i_o that_o which_o be_v unjust_a that_o i_o may_v well_o think_v when_o you_o write_v it_o you_o set_v aside_o not_o only_o the_o sincerity_n of_o a_o divine_a but_o the_o charity_n of_o a_o christian_a and_o the_o ingenuity_n of_o a_o scholar_n now_o to_o the_o

your_o wife_n right_a of_o fifth_n out_o of_o the_o rectory_n of_o brightwell_n as_o you_o require_v they_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n but_o a_o non_fw-la ens_fw-la a_o mere_a nothing_o 13._o i_o will_v not_o say_v but_o you_o may_v imagine_v some_o appearance_n of_o a_o right_a for_o if_o as_o some_o do_v you_o lodge_v fantasy_n and_o memory_n both_o in_o one_o bed_n they_o may_v be_v the_o parent_n of_o such_o a_o phantasm_n but_o i_o may_v rather_o say_v sir_n you_o may_v easy_o remember_v that_o i_o have_v prove_v your_o wife_n have_v no_o such_o right_n at_o all_o to_o fifth_n as_o you_o claim_v in_o her_o name_n because_o i_o have_v give_v you_o reason_n in_o print_n against_o it_o which_o i_o doubt_v not_o will_v be_v acknowledge_v valid_a and_o sufficient_a either_o to_o satisfy_v or_o silence_v you_o by_o all_o unpartial_a judge_n who_o shall_v read_v they_o as_o by_o many_o such_o they_o have_v be_v already_o whereas_o you_o neither_o do_v nor_o can_v give_v any_o to_o the_o contrary_a which_o may_v with_o any_o colour_n of_o truth_n be_v bring_v both_o to_o oppose_v or_o over-poise_n they_o and_o this_o be_v not_o my_o conceit_n alone_o but_o his_o judgement_n likewise_o who_o great_a part_n have_v deserve_o advance_v he_o to_o high_a prelation_n of_o dignity_n and_o authority_n above_o other_o man_n for_o when_o about_o the_o beginning_n of_o march_n last_o i_o
