the_o earl_n of_o danby_n vindicated_n in_o reflection_n upon_o a_o paper_n entitle_v some_o reflection_n upon_o the_o e._n of_o danby_n in_o relation_n to_o the_o murder_n of_o sir_n edmundbury_a godfrey_n in_o a_o letter_n to_o a_o friend_n from_o mr._n christian_n sir_n i_o will_v not_o stay_v much_o upon_o those_o reflection_n in_o relation_n to_o the_o earl_n of_o danby_n because_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o god_n will_v clear_v his_o lordship_n innocence_n in_o due_a time_n to_o the_o shame_n of_o his_o enemy_n and_o to_o the_o expose_v those_o by_o who_o insatiable_a malice_n his_o great_a worth_n and_o honour_n be_v calumniate_v to_o the_o parliament_n and_o kingdom_n only_o i_o hope_v no_o man_n can_v fail_v in_o his_o observation_n what_o sect_n of_o man_n his_o lordship_n be_v behold_v to_o for_o their_o good-will_n who_o know_v they_o must_v destroy_v not_o only_a king_n but_o their_o great_a minister_n of_o state_n before_o they_o can_v complete_a their_o bloody_a reformation_n for_o it_o be_v well_o know_v not_o only_o to_o i_o and_o other_o who_o have_v have_v the_o honour_n of_o serve_v that_o lord_n but_o even_o to_o the_o worst_a of_o his_o enemy_n who_o be_v acquaint_v with_o he_o if_o they_o will_v confess_v truth_n that_o no_o man_n be_v ever_o a_o great_a assertor_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n which_o be_v the_o best_a bulwark_n against_o popery_n nor_o any_o man_n more_o constant_a both_o in_o his_o own_o devotion_n and_o in_o the_o care_n of_o see_v they_o due_o perform_v in_o his_o family_n a_o little_a time_n when_o man_n will_v but_o have_v patience_n to_o be_v true_o inform_v will_v serve_v to_o wipe_v off_o such_o scandal_n from_o so_o eminent_a and_o so_o good_a a_o man_n but_o one_o so_o inconsiderable_a as_o i_o be_o may_v suffer_v under_o so_o foul_a and_o false_a a_o aspersion_n if_o i_o shall_v not_o vindicate_v myself_o against_o it_o beside_o that_o by_o the_o falsity_n of_o that_o part_n which_o concern_v

and_o have_v suffer_v but_o before_o i_o have_v read_v it_o half_o through_o his_o design_n be_v as_o plain_a to_o destroy_v their_o evidence_n and_o make_v that_o pass_n for_o nothing_o as_o it_o be_v to_o blast_v the_o honour_n and_o reputation_n of_o the_o earl_n although_o he_o will_v fain_o seem_v to_o say_v something_o in_o their_o excuse_n by_o make_v it_o worse_o viz._n that_o we_o must_v not_o altogether_o rely_v upon_o what_o the_o evidence_n say_v because_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o it_o be_v by_o hear-say_n which_o be_v to_o put_v a_o worthy_a character_n upon_o the_o judge_n and_o jury_n i_o shall_v believe_v this_o j._n b._n to_o be_v author_n also_o of_o that_o pretend_a paper_n entitle_v a_o answer_n to_o the_o objection_n against_o the_o earl_n of_o danby_n but_o to_o
