to_o heighten_v the_o king_n at_o such_o a_o time_n as_o this_o this_o be_v a_o mere_a fiction_n none_o at_o court_n ask_v this_o question_n but_o that_o which_o make_v this_o altogether_o

the_o distemper_n of_o his_o brain_n and_o judge_v you_o whether_o ten_o day_n after_o he_o come_v into_o the_o island_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o rest_v himself_o after_o his_o journey_n and_o so_o long_o he_o be_v there_o ere_o he_o preach_v beside_o the_o bishop_n do_v not_o preach_v nonsense_n nor_o without_o premeditation_n at_o any_o time_n sure_o he_o will_v not_o choose_v to_o do_v it_o at_o such_o a_o time_n as_o that_o be_v and_o good_a reader_n can_v you_o be_v draw_v to_o imagine_v that_o the_o bishop_n of_o armaugh_n will_v preach_v so_o fil_o on_o that_o text_n as_o those_o inference_n be_v which_o this_o maligner_n set_v down_o with_o as_o much_o boldness_n as_o ignorance_n i_o be_o at_o a_o blush_n for_o his_o folly_n yet_o imu_v confess_v this_o much_o of_o what_o he_o write_v be_v true_a that_o the_o bishop_n preach_v on_o that_o text_n cite_v by_o he_o and_o the_o former_a part_n of_o his_o four_o inference_n that_o it_o be_v his_o majesty_n 49_o year_n the_o year_n of_o jubilee_n and_o he_o hope_v it_o will_v prove_v so_o to_o his_o majest_n but_o the_o last_o clause_n be_v most_o false_a viz._n that_o he_o say_v his_o majesty_n be_v more_o strict_o deal_v withal_o so_o that_o of_o seven_o inference_n which_o he_o note_v six_o of_o they_o be_v utter_o false_a and_o the_o seven_o but_o half_a true_a and_o thus_o much_o he_o avouch_v who_o himself_o be_v a_o more_o faithful_a and_o indifferent_a hearer_n than_o he_o who_o have_v labour_v to_o defile_v the_o reputation_n of_o he_o who_o innocence_n will_v one_o day_n plead_v for_o he_o when_o such_o a_o man_n as_o this_o informer_n shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o stand_v in_o the_o judgement_n now_o concern_v his_o whole_a carriage_n at_o the_o isle_n of_o wight_n nothing_o but_o envy_n can_v asperse_v his_o integrity_n and_o zeal_n for_o a_o happy_a accommodation_n betwixt_o the_o king_n and_o his_o people_n and_o to_o this_o beside_o the_o testimony_n of_o his_o own_o conscience_n he_o have_v good_a witness_n if_o they_o will_v speak_v but_o what_o they_o know_v of_o he_o and_o as_o for_o such_o as_o be_v of_o none_o or_o of_o small_a reputation_n it_o be_v not_o much_o to_o the_o purpose_n what_o they_o say_v and_o therefore_o i_o presume_v i_o need_v say_v no_o more_o to_o satisfy_v any_o sober_a and_o unbiased_a in_o this_o point_n though_o i_o may_v have_v say_v more_o to_o the_o informer_n refutation_n but_o the_o folly_n of_o his_o madness_n be_v and_o will_v be_v sufficient_o make_v know_v and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o have_v a_o word_n of_o advice_n to_o he_o for_o his_o good_a first_o to_o repent_v for_o the_o falsehood_n he_o have_v utter_v and_o confess_v and_o be_v sorry_a that_o he_o have_v wrong_v a_o servant_n of_o christ_n and_o lest_o in_o stead_n of_o such_o a_o rebuke_n as_o this_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n come_v upon_o he_o if_o after_o this_o time_n he_o sin_v wilful_o again_o in_o this_o kind_n for_o no_o liar_n shall_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n i_o have_v a_o word_n likewise_o to_o the_o over_o credulous_a people_n be_v not_o you_o deceive_v nor_o believe_v every_o report_n for_o he_o that_o receive_v and_o he_o that_o tell_v lie_n be_v both_o in_o the_o same_o transgression_n to_o backbite_v and_o to_o take_v up_o a_o reproach_n against_o another_o be_v the_o symptom_n of_o such_o as_o have_v no_o dwell_n in_o the_o holy_a hill_n psal_n 15.3_o and_o as_o for_o the_o bishop_n of_o armaugh_n i_o need_v say_v nothing_o to_o he_o he_o know_v how_o to_o bear_v with_o patience_n all_o reproach_n and_o stripe_n of_o invenomed_a tongue_n and_o to_o contemn_v they_o as_o thing_n far_o beneath_o he_o and_o if_o any_o of_o you_o will_v yet_o be_v more_o vile_a more_o malicious_a
