preacher_n who_o comply_v with_o our_o scots_a episcopacy_n presbyterian_o for_o by_o that_o same_o argument_n we_o may_v still_o call_v the_o doctor_n a_o papist_n for_o such_o i_o be_o inform_v he_o

to_o mr._n spalding_n that_o he_o shall_v say_v nothing_o can_v be_v make_v of_o it_o it_o be_v absolute_o false_a he_o only_o say_v it_o as_o to_o the_o baptise_v part_n which_o yet_o as_o i_o have_v

after_o so_o many_o year_n time_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o acquit_v dr._n canary_n but_o suppose_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v altogether_o false_a it_o argue_v a_o very_a great_a want_n of_o

this_o impudent_a hint_n of_o deny_v the_o late_a prelatical_a plot_n against_o the_o government_n show_v you_o have_v need_n of_o a_o better_a purgation_n from_o the_o charge_n that_o you_o ride_v

answer_n to_o the_o first_o before_o i_o take_v the_o doctor_n to_o task_n i_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o answer_v the_o objection_n make_v by_o friend_n against_o my_o first_o essay_n which_o be_v that_o the_o style_n be_v too_o satyrical_n the_o instance_n at_o the_o latter_a end_n too_o fulsome_a and_o that_o their_o book_n deserve_v no_o answer_n as_o ●arrying_v its_o confutation_n in_o
