design_v parson_n that_o he_o mean_v by_o some_o day_n before_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o say_a sermon_n have_v the_o sentence_n of_o deposition_n actual_o and_o judicial_o pass_v upon_o he_o by_o the_o presbytry_n and_o the_o occasion_n of_o mr._n clark_n preach_v be_v only_o to_o make_v intimation_n to_o the_o paroch_n of_o auldhamstocks_n of_o the_o say_v presbyterial_a sentence_n he_o be_v order_v by_o the_o presbytry_n so_o to_o do_v next_o he_o come_v to_o give_v his_o wont_a beggarly_a epithet_n to_o the_o say_a sermon_n tell_v there_o never_o appear_v a_o more_o silly_a and_o empty_a discourse_n but_o i_o hope_v these_o vain_a word_n will_v have_v small_a weight_n for_o disparage_v mr._n clark_n or_o render_v his_o sermon_n contemptible_a or_o suspicious_a of_o gild_n this_o way_n for_o it_o be_v evident_a throughout_o his_o narrative_a that_o with_o the_o same_o common_a stile_n he_o also_o lash_v other_o of_o know_a undoubted_a reputation_n for_o learning_n sense_n and_o eloquence_n hence_o pag_n 19_o he_o call_v doctor_n rule_n be_v representation_n of_o the_o principle_n and_o practice_n of_o presbyterian_o a_o weak_a empty_a paper_n full_a of_o

more_o particular_n there_o be_v pag_n 34._o a_o general_a passage_n of_o all_o the_o sermon_n preach_v before_o the_o commissioner_n they_o be_v say_v he_o very_o nauseat_v to_o all_o rational_a person_n miserable_o flat_a and_o dull_a yea_o and_o further_o pag_n 50._o lest_o any_o shall_v think_v there_o be_v some_o that_o do_v not_o preach_v before_o the_o commissioner_n as_o good_a at_o the_o trade_n as_o they_o who_o do_v he_o tell_v nothing_o can_v be_v expect_v from_o any_o of_o they_o whatever_o church_n they_o preach_v in_o but_o noise_n and_o nonsense_n much_o babble_n and_o it_o seem_v the_o printer_n have_v think_v shame_n to_o make_v his_o type_n tell_v the_o rest_n for_o there_o be_v some_o ill-favoured_a word_n or_o another_o omit_v but_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v how_o nonsensical_a light_a and_o lose_v this_o relator_n be_v in_o what_o he_o vomit_v up_o so_o lavish_o i_o think_v it_o not_o unworthy_a of_o observance_n that_o from_o his_o own_o mouth_n it_o be_v clear_a his_o foul-mouthed_a epithet_n and_o nickname_n be_v rather_o malicious_o invent_v than_o judicious_o apply_v for_o though_o this_o rattle_a relator_n take_v upon_o he_o with_o thrasonick_a confidence_n enough_o to_o speak_v so_o much_o ill_o of_o mr._n clark_n sermon_n yet_o it_o seem_v he_o have_v not_o see_v the_o say_a sermon_n which_o he_o study_v so_o much_o to_o defame_v for_o he_o tell_v it_o be_v a_o sermon_n ad_fw-la clerum_fw-la as_o be_v say_v say_a by_o who_o not_o by_o mr._n clark_n not_o by_o mr._n clark_n sermon_n so_o if_o he_o miscall_v and_o reproach_n sermon_n only_o upon_o what_o other_o say_v without_o his_o own_o read_n or_o hear_v i_o think_v no_o sober_a judicious_a man_n will_v ready_o regard_v what_o such_o a_o loose_a rave_a writer_n say_v and_o hereby_o further_o the_o same_o thing_n be_v evident_a for_o he_o tell_v it_o be_v a_o sermon_n preach_v as_o be_v say_v at_o the_o deposition_n of_o the_o parson_n of_o auldhamstocks_n what_o need_v he_o say_v it_o be_v say_v so_o when_o the_o very_a title-page_n of_o the_o say_a sermon_n if_o he_o have_v but_o see_v it_o read_v express_o in_o these_o word_n preach_v on_o the_o occasion_n of_o the_o intimation_n of_o a_o sentence_n of_o deposition_n etc._n etc._n and_o see_v he_o write_v so_o loose_o anent_o mr._n clark_n sermon_n it_o may_v be_v warrantable_o suppose_v that_o he_o be_v but_o a_o rave_v romantic_a scribbler_n in_o other_o thing_n too_o which_o he_o groundless_o and_o false_o relate_v another_o thing_n he_o say_v to_o the_o disgrace_v of_o mr._n clark_n sermon_n as_o he_o misconceive_v be_v by_o tell_v it_o be_v even_o far_o below_o mr._n andrew_n gray_n sermon_n whereby_o i_o think_v indeed_o mr._n clark_n be_v more_o oblige_v to_o the_o relator_n than_o he_o be_v aware_a for_o i_o dare_v say_v there_o be_v no_o godly_a exercise_v or_o discern_a christian_a that_o ever_o peruse_v mr._n gray_n sermon_n but_o will_v ready_o give_v their_o verdict_n of_o they_o to_o be_v excellent_a spiritual_a and_o savory_n so_o that_o though_o mr._n clark_n sermon_n may_v be_v below_o mr._n gray_n which_o i_o believe_v he_o will_v easy_o grant_v himself_o yet_o if_o in_o any_o tolerable_a degree_n it_o come_v near_o to_o be_v like_o they_o i_o think_v pro_fw-la tanto_fw-la it_o be_v to_o be_v prize_v and_o worthy_a of_o acceptation_n in_o the_o next_o place_n he_o tell_v we_o the_o very_a presbyterian_o be_v ashamed_a of_o it_o i_o believe_v i_o have_v have_v as_o much_o occasion_n to_o converse_v among_o presbyterian_o as_o the_o relator_n and_o also_o have_v accidental_o hear_v some_o vent_n their_o sentiment_n anent_o the_o say_a sermon_n yet_o i_o never_o hear_v or_o observe_v any_o of_o they_o express_v in_o the_o least_o what_o import_v a_o shadow_n of_o semblance_n to_o what_o be_v say_v by_o this_o time_n i_o understand_v this_o man_n tongue_n be_v no_o slander_n but_o whether_o or_o not_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o mr._n clark_n sermon_n that_o either_o he_o or_o any_o concern_v in_o he_o needs_o to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o res_fw-la ipsa_fw-la loquatur_fw-la his_o sermon_n be_v extant_a in_o print_n let_v it_o speak_v for_o itself_o and_o let_v judicious_a sober_a man_n speak_v for_o or_o against_o the_o same_o as_o they_o find_v cause_n but_o i_o dare_v say_v if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o say_a sermon_n that_o may_v be_v carp_v at_o or_o just_o censure_v the_o relator_n will_v not_o have_v neglect_v to_o set_v off_o the_o same_o with_o a_o noise_n and_o thunder_n of_o insult_a triumphal_a reflection_n but_o for_o all_o the_o evil_n he_o speak_v of_o mr._n clark_n sermon_n he_o quote_v not_o one_o eull_a thing_n out_o of_o it_o or_o the_o least_o passage_n that_o can_v be_v quarrel_v by_o which_o unfair_a disingenuous_a and_o injurious_a deal_v he_o be_v certain_o a_o matter_n of_o reproach_n to_o his_o party_n whoever_o he_o be_v but_o it_o seem_v though_o he_o be_v so_o foolish_a as_o groundless_o and_o open_o to_o reproach_n other_o yet_o herein_o he_o be_v so_o far_o witty_a as_o to_o conceal_v his_o name_n and_o so_o prevent_v his_o own_o shame_n for_o who_o know_v but_o he_o may_v be_v a_o infamous_a person_n lie_v under_o a_o public_a stigma_fw-la for_o notorious_a villainy_n but_o though_o he_o be_v guilty_a of_o no_o more_o but_o the_o false_a calumny_n and_o forgery_n where_o with_o his_o ridiculous_a pamphlet_n be_v stuff_v full_a it_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v he_o infamous_a and_o odious_a among_o judicious_a and_o honest_a man_n and_o therefore_o he_o have_v industrious_o print_v and_o disperse_v his_o fable_n and_o romance_n among_o stranger_n whole_o not_o in_o the_o way_n of_o be_v undeceive_v of_o his_o clandestine_v misrepresentation_n but_o we_o use_v to_o say_v veritas_fw-la non_fw-la petit_fw-la angulos_fw-la and_o i_o be_o sorry_a for_o i_o own_o that_o i_o be_o very_o much_o oblige_v to_o the_o

call_v evil_a good_a and_o good_a evil_n etc._n etc._n as_o to_o what_o this_o historian_n say_v of_o my_o lord_n crafurd_n and_o the_o printer_n i_o perfect_o know_v mr._n clark_n knowledge_n

length_n for_o it_o seem_v he_o have_v design_o and_o industrious_o enlarge_v against_o mr._n clark_n it_o be_v believe_v he_o show_v all_o the_o learning_n and_o eloquence_n he_o be_v master_n of_o in_o this_o sermon_n but_o i_o believe_v that_o godly_a minister_n who_o project_n the_o conversion_n of_o soul_n to_o christ_n be_v not_o much_o studious_a or_o perplex_a to_o make_v a_o ostentation_n of_o humane_a learning_n or_o busk_n their_o discourse_n with_o the_o gaudery_n of_o rhetoric_n or_o romantic_a strain_n but_o rather_o according_a to_o the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n humble_o and_o plain_o preach_v christ_n to_o the_o poor_a and_o ignorant_a so_o as_o best_o to_o suit_n and_o accommodate_v their_o capacity_n but_o to_o our_o point_n again_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n he_o speak_v diminutive_o of_o mr._n clark_n learning_n and_o eloquence_n when_o he_o dare_v perfricta_fw-la front_n to_o tell_v we_o of_o the_o learned_a dr._n rule_n the_o

presbyterian_o pag._n 49._o that_o learning_n be_v not_o the_o talon_n of_o a_o presbyterian_a as_o for_o what_o learning_n this_o anonymous_n relator_n himself_o be_v master_n of_o i_o know_v not_o for_o he_o will_v not_o let_v himself_o be_v know_v but_o this_o i_o may_v confident_o aver_v of_o he_o that_o he_o declare_v himself_o sufficient_o guilty_a of_o that_o piece_n of_o diabolical_a
