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

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

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

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
