A67003	A short letter modestly intreating a friends judgement upon Mr. Edwards, his booke he calleth an Anti-apologie, with a large but modest answer thereunto framed, in desire, with such evennesse of hand, and uprightnesse of heart, as that no godly man might be effended at it : and with soule-desire also, that they, who are contrary-minded, might not be offended neither, but instructed.	Woodward, Ezekias, 1590-1675.; Hartlib, Samuel, d. 1662.	1644 (1644)	Wing W3502; ESTC R18279	37,876	40

though_o such_o rhetoric_n find_v the_o vulgar-ear_n more_o open_a than_o logic_n reason_n do_v i_o will_v use_v none_o of_o all_o this_o i_o will_v deal_v more_o candid_o than_o so_o and_o more_o become_v a_o christian_n and_o a_o brother_n thus_o i_o will_v do_v make_v a_o narration_n only_o and_o declare_v thing_n which_o i_o see_v and_o hear_v and_o not_o another_o for_o i_o there_o i_o see_v they_o bow_v at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n there_o cringe_v a_o little_a before_o wood_n and_o stone_n and_o there_o i_o hear_v they_o say_v one_o piece_n or_o cantle_n of_o their_o service_n too_o i_o hear_v they_o read_v that_o thrice_o accurse_v declaration_n against_o god_n holy_a day_n also_o that_o i_o do_v i_o do_v see_v they_o give_v forth_o their_o right-hand_n of_o fellowship_n for_o the_o establish_n of_o evil_a and_o overthrow_v of_o good_a i_o see_v they_o contribute_v their_o purse_n and_o then_o they_o will_v their_o blood_n too_o for_o money_n come_v from_o we_o like_o drop_n of_o blood_n to_o strengthen_v the_o hand_n of_o violence_n against_o the_o throat_n of_o their_o dear_a brethren_n the_o scot_n understand_v i_o good_a reader_n i_o will_v rather_o my_o finger_n shall_v rot_v from_o my_o hand_n my_o hand_n from_o my_o arm_n my_o arm_n from_o my_o shoulder_n than_o that_o i_o shall_v employ_v my_o hand_n in_o such_o a_o work_n i_o will_v only_o give_v thou_o to_o know_v how_o fruitful_a the_o *_o 6._o theme_n or_o subject_a matter_n be_v and_o how_o a_o man_n own_o spirit_n can_v enlarge_v and_o dilate_v upon_o it_o very_o ready_o but_o to_o my_o question_n now_o how_o will_v thou_o esteem_v such_o a_o book_n so_o fraught_v and_o stuff_v as_o aforesaid_a for_o indeed_o my_o stomach_n rise_v at_o the_o very_a thought_n of_o it_o with_o the_o fail_n and_o fall_n and_o now_o the_o repent_n of_o god_n servant_n i_o hope_v how_o will_v thou_o esteem_v such_o a_o thing_n such_o a_o work_n for_o i_o can_v call_v it_o a_o book_n how_o will_v thou_o account_v of_o it_o or_o of_o myself_o for_o make_v such_o a_o foul_a piece_n of_o work_n i_o will_v answer_v for_o thou_o and_o against_o myself_o first_o doubtless_o if_o thou_o may_v have_v thy_o will_n thou_o will_v have_v i_o mark_v with_o d_o upon_o my_o forehead_n that_o be_v devil_n for_o though_o i_o will_v urge_v nothing_o against_o my_o brethren_n upon_o report_n of_o hearesay_n or_o from_o letter_n those_o silent_a interpreter_n between_o man_n and_o man_n yet_o i_o may_v accuse_v my_o brethren_n of_o those_o thing_n they_o have_v repent_v of_o and_o god_n for_o aught_o i_o know_v have_v pardon_v and_o then_o thou_o will_v call_v i_o a_o devil_n a_o accuser_n of_o my_o brethren_n and_o thou_o will_v wish_v my_o mouth_n stop_v and_o never_o licence_v give_v to_o my_o pen_n any_o more_o so_o thou_o will_v have_v i_o deal_v withal_o 2._o and_o for_o the_o book_n which_o i_o can_v make_v it_o will_v be_v sure_a a_o abomination_n in_o the_o eye_n ear_n heart_n of_o all_o the_o best_a learned_a all_o over_o the_o land_n and_o to_o thyself_o also_o a_o very_a loathe_n like_o thy_o vomit_n or_o some_o such_o loathsome_a thing_n why_o then_o thou_o can_v make_v judgement_n of_o the_o anti-apol_n that_o be_v such_o a_o abomination_n and_o worse_o for_o worse_a can_v be_v and_o be_v m._n ed._n his_o book_n which_o now_o i_o have_v do_v withal_o but_o that_o i_o hope_v to_o get_v honey_n out_o of_o it_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o use_n before_o i_o make_v a_o end_n and_o first_o i_o shall_v show_v the_o mischief_n this_o contrariety_n to_o the_o rule_n contradiction_n in_o word_n strangeness_n in_o judgement_n alienation_n in_o affection_n have_v cause_v to_o the_o church_n of_o god_n but_o all_o this_o shall_v be_v show_v in_o a_o parable_n with_o which_o i_o shall_v closeup_n my_o answer_n now_o sir_n you_o can_v by_o this_o time_n tell_v yourself_o why_o the_o most_o cry-up_a m._n edw_n book_n 1._o because_o the_o most_o be_v best_a please_v to_o see_v brethren_n stand_v at_o a_o distance_n or_o at_o a_o bay_n or_o come_v near_o hand_n to_o strive_v and_o fight_v each_o with_o other_o 2._o because_o the_o most_o love_v the_o broad-way_n and_o will_v walk_v in_o it_o and_o be_v full_a of_o hope_n now_o that_o this_o contention_n about_o the_o way_n shall_v enlarge_v their_o way_n and_o make_v it_o yet_o broad_a but_o they_o will_v be_v deceive_v for_o whether_o this_o or_o that_o way_n it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v contend_v for_o by_o our_o choice_a man_n past_o all_o question_n 3._o the_o most_o do_v shut_v their_o eye_n against_o the_o light_n and_o hate_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n vox_fw-la populi_fw-la non_fw-la est_fw-la vox_fw-la dei_fw-la if_o the_o most_o say_v it_o and_o it_o be_v touch_v the_o great_a thing_n of_o god_n i_o shall_v doubt_v nay_o i_o shall_v make_v no_o question_n of_o it_o that_o god_n say_v it_o not_o if_o my_o writing_n any_o of_o they_o say_v melancthon_n and_o they_o be_v all_o for_o god_n and_o his_o truth_n be_v please_v to_o the_o most_o that_o shall_v displease_v i_o most_o of_o all_o so_o as_o i_o shall_v tear_v they_o or_o throw_v they_o into_o the_o fire_n i_o know_v how_o the_o most_o relish_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n well_o enough_o and_o with_o what_o eye_n they_o see_v the_o most_o have_v the_o least_o diseern_v into_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n god_n know_v a._n why_o but_o all_o the_o learned_a and_o good_a man_n too_o cry_v up_o his_o book_n b._n for_o what_o sure_o not_o for_o his_o invention_n neither_o his_o topic_n there_o nor_o his_o rhetoric_n his_o compasition_n indeed_o be_v pretty_a good_a his_o elocution_n or_o that_o the_o orator_n call_v action_n the_o all_o of_o a_o orator_n that_o be_v all_o stark_a nought_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o all_o the_o learned_a sure_a but_o let_v the_o author_n have_v all_o his_o due_n and_o let_v his_o book_n be_v call_v a_o book_n because_o the_o most_o say_v but_o they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o good_a one_o for_o any_o further_a respect_n unto_o it_o then_o to_o call_v it_o a_o book_n have_v serious_o consider_v the_o general_a frame_n scope_n and_o tendency_n of_o the_o say_a book_n i_o know_v not_o how_o to_o give_v it_o nay_o i_o very_o believe_v that_o every_o good_a man_n will_v mourn_v over_o it_o upon_o these_o follow_a consideration_n 1._o because_o this_o book_n be_v to_o the_o heart_n it_o comfort_v those_o that_o shall_v not_o be_v comfort_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o his_o servant_n let_v not_o the_o reader_n be_v offend_v at_o this_o expression_n it_o be_v very_o possible_a for_o a_o good_a man_n to_o do_v and_o speak_v that_o which_o may_v comfort_v as_o he_o and_o they_o can_v be_v comfort_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o his_o servant_n oh_o how_o glad_a the_o devil_n be_v at_o the_o sight_n of_o such_o a_o book_n as_o this_o which_o fly_v at_o the_o face_n of_o those_o he_o pursue_v with_o deadly_a hatred_n he_o be_v call_v satan_n a_o adversary_n a_o devil_n too_o a_o accuser_n of_o the_o brother_n if_o any_o man_n now_o will_v take_v the_o devil_n his_o office_n accuse_v the_o brother_n divulge_v their_o fault_n oh_o how_o the_o devil_n rejoice_v at_o this_o how_o glad_a his_o servant_n be_v be_v the_o accusation_n true_a or_o be_v it_o false_a that_o matter_n not_o the_o brother_n be_v accuse_v the_o devil_n and_o his_o servant_n laugh_v an_fw-mi israelite_n strive_v with_o a_o israelite_n oh_o how_o pleasant_a a_o sight_n be_v this_o it_o will_v pluck_v back_o and_o hinder_v the_o great-work_n in_o hand_n as_o once_o it_o do_v think_v the_o devil_n than_o he_o laugh_v and_o hug_v this_o hope_n and_o be_v not_o all_o his_o servant_n as_o merry_a sure_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o servant_n be_v dance_v now_o for_o joy_n now_o he_o see_v those_o strike_v at_o who_o he_o hate_v hearty_o and_o those_o doctrine_n oppose_v which_o be_v the_o very_a destruction_n of_o his_o kingdom_n sure_o no_o good_a man_n will_v help_v to_o make_v the_o devil_n music_n then_o sure_a enough_o he_o will_v not_o make_v such_o a_o book_n as_o this_o for_o this_o be_v music_n for_o the_o devil_n you_o tell_v i_o you_o mourn_v over_o it_o i_o believe_v you_o and_o that_o every_o good_a man_n mourn_v with_o you_o but_o he_o that_o have_v give_v the_o offence_n much_o more_o must_v he_o m●urne_v god_n will_v
