still_o notwithstanding_o the_o outward_a seem_n and_o apearance_n to_o the_o contrary_n well_o friendship_n or_o no_o friendship_n old_a or_o new_a the_o doctor_n however_o have_v abundance_n of_o

that_o hitherto_o have_v be_v take_v by_o all_o those_o who_o have_v hearty_o and_o honest_o espouse_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o church_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o reformation_n but_o this_o be_v a_o way_n that_o do_v not_o please_v the_o doctor_n be_v friend_n but_o he_o be_v for_o a_o new_a way_n of_o his_o own_o and_o though_o the_o doctor_n do_v not_o tell_v we_o what_o way_n that_o

again_o he_o ask_v whether_o it_o be_v for_o the_o peace_n unity_n and_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n for_o some_o few_o assume_v man_n to_o alter_v the_o establish_a worship_n to_o make_v it_o

of_o worship_n for_o some_o new_a modern_a invention_n how_o shall_v we_o justify_v ourselves_o against_o the_o charge_n of_o novelty_n and_o innovation_n if_o we_o reform_v away_o all_o the_o

now_o sir_n you_o will_v confess_v that_o the_o doctor_n treat_v his_o friend_n especial_o a_o old_a friend_n a_o little_a coarse_o and_o unfriendly_a and_o i_o doubt_v very_o much_o whether_o the_o

more_o inflexible_a fearless_a honesty_n for_o these_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o character_n he_o give_v of_o he_o here_o but_o the_o doctor_n i_o suppose_v be_v grow_v wise_a now_o and_o which_o you_o know_v no_o man_n be_v forbid_v nay_o he_o be_v grow_v wise_a than_o the_o wise_a man_n themselves_o for_o you_o have_v hear_v that_o wise_a man_n foresee_v such_o principle_n will_v destroy_v the_o church_n in_o time_n but_o the_o doctor_n now_o be_v so_o wise_a as_o to_o see_v plain_o that_o those_o principle_n be_v for_o the_o church_n true_a interest_n now_o sir_n whatever_o you_o may_v think_v of_o the_o cause_n i_o pray_v now_o tell_v i_o what_o you_o think_v of_o the_o preacher_n be_v not_o these_o delicate_a thing_n from_o the_o mouth_n of_o dr._n sherlock_n who_o have_v in_o so_o many_o word_n assert_v the_o c●ean_a contrary_n of_o the_o same_o design_n and_o of_o the_o same_o man_n engage_v in_o that_o design_n have_v
manifest_a to_o all_o that_o the_o noble_a princely_a and_o christian_a succour_n he_o have_v afford_v our_o injure_a king_n be_v more_o provoke_a than_o all_o the_o oppression_n in_o the_o world_n to_o this_o may_v be_v add_v what_o immediate_o follow_v in_o the_o same_o sermon_n and_o this_o make_v war_n in_o a_o more_o barbarous_a manner_n than_o the_o most_o barbarous_a nation_n ever_o do_v carry_v fire_n and_o desolation_n and_o lay_v waste_v many_o and_o great_a city_n without_o necessity_n and_o without_o pity_n these_o indeed_o be_v the_o terrible_a effect_n of_o war_n but_o then_o they_o be_v as_o common_a as_o they_o be_v terrible_a for_o whatever_o our_o author_n may_v talk_v of_o a_o more_o barbarous_a manner_n than_o the_o barbarous_a nation_n ever_o do_v there_o never_o

replant_v it_o with_o their_o own_o native_a subject_n and_o the_o conquest_n of_o samaria_n be_v another_o dreadful_a instance_n of_o it_o which_o as_o i_o take_v it_o be_v a_o far_o great_a waste_n and_o desolation_n than_o fire_v a_o few_o town_n and_o destroy_v a_o crop_n of_o corn_n or_o some_o vineyard_n but_o perhaps_o our_o author_n have_v not_o his_o bible_n ready_a but_o may_v think_v

will_v be_v and_o perhaps_o it_o be_v impossible_a it_o shall_v be_v and_o whatever_o the_o case_n be_v that_o may_v seem_v to_o require_v it_o i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o any_o preacher_n of_o

than_o in_o a_o smooth-tongued_a divine_a who_o can_v preach_v up_o moderation_n when_o it_o be_v a_o popular_a theme_n and_o yet_o turn_v out_o a_o most_o reverend_a prelate_n much_o better_a than_o
