make_v manifest_v that_o great_a love_n tenderness_n and_o respect_v you_o profess_v to_o have_v for_o we_o by_o your_o utmost_a endeavour_n to_o expose_v our_o reverend_a father_n i_o know_v say_v you_o p._n 34._o a_o dioscess_n where_o the_o bishop_n utter_o suppress_v a_o petition_n sign_v by_o his_o clergy_n and_o ready_a to_o be_v present_v to_o their_o majesty_n for_o the_o restitution_n of_o the_o metropolitan_a the_o bishop_n and_o the_o suspend_v clergy_n of_o that_o diocese_n i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v this_o to_o be_v that_o very_a bishop_n to_o who_o you_o have_v swear_v and_o owe_v canonical_a obedience_n though_o at_o present_v you_o have_v translate_v it_o to_o a_o episcopal-presbyterian_a who_o baptise_n without_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n but_o if_o you_o will_v not_o obey_v yet_o in_o civility_n you_o shall_v forbear_v to_o reproach_v your_o good_a old_a bishop_n or_o to_o stir_v up_o the_o government_n against_o he_o but_o what_o if_o he_o do_v suppress_v a_o petition_n if_o you_o have_v tell_v his_o reason_n you_o will_v find_v that_o you_o have_v better_o have_v hold_v your_o tongue_n if_o you_o consider_v with_o yourself_o perhaps_o you_o will_v remember_v that_o there_o be_v something_o in_o that_o petition_n for_o a_o subsistence_n for_o the_o bishop_n out_o of_o the_o revenue_n of_o the_o bishopric_n and_o may_v he_o not_o modest_o and_o christianly_o say_v that_o he_o desire_v not_o the_o profit_n of_o the_o bishopric_n if_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v suffer_v to_o discharge_v the_o office_n and_o here_o by_o the_o way_n behold_v the_o true_a character_n of_o dutch_a kindness_n when_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o wich_v have_v give_v away_o the_o estate_n of_o so_o many_o thousand_o who_o if_o they_o have_v continue_v honest_a must_v have_v suffer_v they_o leave_v a_o liberty_n to_o make_v provision_n for_o twelve_o but_o the_o good_a man_n to_o who_o the_o disposal_n be_v lest_o like_o a_o trusty_a steward_n never_o allow_v one_o penny_n or_o farthing_n but_o to_o return_v to_o the_o bishop_n you_o speak_v of_o there_o be_v another_o account_n i_o can_v give_v you_o a_o petition_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n be_v sign_v by_o the_o clergy_n of_o another_o diocese_n and_o bring_v up_o to_o town_n to_o be_v present_v but_o all_o the_o avenue_n of_o whitehall_n and_o kensington_n be_v stop_v and_o william_n fret_v and_o fume_v and_o beg_v and_o pray_v of_o all_o about_o he_o that_o they_o will_v never_o suffer_v it_o to_o come_v near_o he_o nor_o can_v it_o ever_o find_v a_o way_n but_o they_o be_v force_v to_o let_v it_o fall_v and_o die_v now_o he_o know_v this_o miscarriage_n and_o the_o resolution_n take_v up_o at_o court_n and_o shall_v any_o man_n blame_v he_o for_o ease_v his_o clergy_n of_o that_o labour_n and_o charge_n of_o which_o he_o be_v beforehand_o assure_v there_o will_v come_v no_o good_a but_o you_o go_v on_o and_o tell_v we_o that_o you_o have_v it_o from_o a_o good_a hand_n that_o a_o motion_n for_o such_o a_o petition_n be_v stifle_v in_o the_o low_a house_n of_o convocation_n upon_o a_o report_n make_v of_o my_o lord_n archbishop_n sancroft_n be_v request_n to_o the_o contrary_a but_o what_o if_o that_o report_n belie_v his_o grace_n this_o be_v no_o such_o strange_a thing_n in_o these_o time_n for_o i_o think_v it_o be_v out_o of_o doubt_n whether_o this_o government_n have_v get_v more_o by_o lie_n or_o arm_n his_o lordship_n be_v live_v and_o thanks_o be_v to_o god_n in_o health_n and_o before_o you_o have_v publish_v such_o a_o story_n of_o he_o you_o ought_v not_o only_o to_o have_v be_v better_o assure_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o but_o also_o if_o possible_a upon_o what_o account_n he_o do_v it_o whether_o the_o tale_n be_v true_a or_o false_a i_o know_v not_o and_o therefore_o must_v leave_v it_o to_o his_o grace_n to_o own_o or_o disow_v it_o according_a to_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o matter_n as_o he_o shall_v see_v cause_n and_o if_o he_o own_v it_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o he_o will_v give_v very_o good_a reason_n for_o what_o he_o do_v but_o if_o i_o may_v be_v allow_v to_o speak_v my_o own_o thought_n i_o humble_o conceive_v that_o one_o great_a reason_n which_o may_v make_v our_o bishop_n under_o a_o lay-suspension_a more_o averse_a to_o petition_v be_v that_o whether_o such_o petition_n be_v grant_v or_o not_o it_o will_v certain_o redound_v to_o their_o harm_n but_o can_v do_v they_o no_o good_a for_o if_o they_o be_v deny_v it_o will_v expose_v the_o government_n and_o consequent_o more_o incense_n it_o against_o they_o but_o if_o they_o be_v grant_v it_o will_v entangle_v they_o in_o fresh_a difficulty_n and_o run_v they_o into_o great_a danger_n for_o it_o will_v have_v be_v expect_v that_o then_o they_o shall_v not_o only_o have_v approve_v the_o prayer_n which_o be_v issue_v out_o during_o their_o suspension_n but_o also_o shall_v tame_o have_v go_v along_o with_o all_o order_n that_o come_v to_o they_o and_o perhaps_o they_o can_v as_o ill_o do_v this_o as_o take_v the_o oath_n yet_o if_o they_o have_v not_o do_v it_o there_o can_v be_v no_o doubt_n but_o they_o will_v have_v be_v more_o severe_o prosecute_v than_o ever_o and_o thus_o may_v have_v bring_v not_o only_o their_o estate_n but_o their_o life_n in_o danger_n now_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a case_n that_o you_o can_v suffer_v good_a man_n to_o act_v with_o common_a prudence_n but_o there_o be_v some_o man_n be_v very_o angry_a that_o they_o can_v make_v they_o act_v like_o madman_n for_o no_o other_o reason_n but_o that_o they_o will_v have_v they_o precipitate_v themselves_o into_o destruction_n but_o you_o may_v have_v forbear_v to_o tell_v these_o story_n see_v they_o do_v your_o cause_n no_o good_a but_o hurt_n for_o the_o less_o they_o regard_v your_o government_n the_o more_o strong_o they_o assert_v their_o own_o authority_n do_v not_o they_o affirm_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o canonical_a bishop_n be_v not_o the_o archbishop_n thrust_v out_o of_o his_o palace_n under_o pretence_n of_o law_n and_o his_o nephew_n imprison_v and_o fine_v for_o not_o make_v a_o present_a submission_n sure_o you_o can_v take_v this_o for_o renounce_v their_o right_n or_o think_v it_o to_o be_v a_o discharge_n the_o clergy_n in_o their_o admission_n of_o now_o bishop_n and_o yet_o you_o endeavour_v to_o make_v we_o believe_v this_o but_o what_o unheard_a of_o impudence_n be_v this_o that_o a_o parcel_n of_o perjure_a fellow_n shall_v contrary_a to_o their_o former_a oath_n to_o manifest_v right_o and_o their_o own_o know_a duty_n forsake_v their_o own_o bishop_n and_o enter_v into_o a_o schism_n against_o they_o and_o then_o cry_v out_o their_o bishop_n have_v leave_v they_o these_o thing_n therefore_o plain_o make_v against_o you_o i_o can_v think_v you_o tell_v these_o story_n for_o any_o other_o reason_n than_o to_o gratify_v your_o malice_n and_o to_o set_v the_o government_n like_o the_o devil_n upon_o job_n to_o plague_v they_o more_o and_o more_o who_o crime_n be_v only_o their_o innocence_n and_o suffering_n sir_n a_o day_n will_v come_v when_o you_o must_v answer_v for_o these_o thing_n and_o therefore_o you_o will_v do_v well_o in_o time_n to_o consider_v how_o fatal_a the_o mischief_n you_o design_v to_o other_o may_v prove_v to_o your_o own_o soul_n and_o repent_v not_o
