A58980	A second letter to Dr. Burnet	Lowth, Simon, 1630?-1720.	1684 (1684)	Wing S2287; ESTC R8788	4,947	9

a_o second_o letter_n to_o dr._n burnet_n sir_n i_o perceive_v the_o letter_n that_o be_v send_v you_o have_v so_o enrage_v you_o that_o you_o have_v lay_v open_a your_o own_o extreme_a weakness_n and_o at_o last_o betray_v yourself_o and_o i_o be_o concern_v at_o it_o for_o this_o only_a reason_n because_o you_o have_v take_v occasion_n to_o discharge_v a_o whole_a load_n of_o choler_n upon_o the_o person_n of_o one_o who_o be_v of_o know_a integrity_n learning_n and_o eminence_n in_o our_o church_n and_o in_o every_o respect_n so_o unlike_o dr._n burnet_n that_o i_o think_v myself_o oblige_v in_o justice_n to_o so_o a_o worthy_a a_o man_n to_o assure_v you_o that_o all_o this_o while_o you_o be_v mistake_v in_o your_o adversary_n and_o i_o solemn_o declare_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n that_o the_o person_n against_o who_o you_o write_v so_o barbarous_o have_v neither_o direct_o nor_o indirect_o any_o knowledge_n of_o the_o letter_n you_o pretend_v to_o answer_v so_o that_o in_o honour_n and_o conscience_n you_o be_v bind_v to_o make_v he_o reparation_n if_o you_o can_v especial_o consider_v that_o he_o have_v give_v you_o no_o provocation_n unless_o it_o be_v this_o that_o his_o be_v a_o man_n true_a to_o the_o crown_n and_o church_n of_o england_n i_o can_v hardly_o forbear_v smile_v to_o observe_v your_o mistake_n and_o to_o consider_v that_o dr._n burnet_n be_v not_o infallible_a but_o can_v not_o but_o pity_v your_o rashness_n that_o you_o run_v away_o with_o such_o a_o cry_n upon_o a_o presumption_n of_o your_o own_o this_o it_o be_v when_o you_o will_v hasty_o plague_v the_o press_n but_o you_o give_v we_o this_o caution_n not_o to_o build_v too_o much_o upon_o your_o great_a confidence_n in_o what_o you_o write_v the_o only_a excuse_n for_o you_o i_o think_v be_v that_o the_o sense_n of_o your_o gild_n for_o that_o unbecoming_a and_o unnecessary_a touch_n about_o the_o close_a and_o comfortable_a importance_n constrain_v you_o to_o believe_v that_o you_o have_v just_o create_v a_o enemy_n and_o deserve_v a_o rebuke_n but_o no_o body_n admire_v either_o your_o ingenuity_n or_o politic_n for_o characterize_n one_o who_o reputation_n be_v above_o your_o reach_n and_o who_o be_v so_o well_o able_a to_o give_v you_o your_o due_a especial_o when_o you_o your_o self_n stand_v so_o fair_a to_o be_v fling_v at_o for_o your_o own_o close_a and_o comfortable_a importance_n i_o wish_v you_o to_o consider_v on_o it_o and_o to_o beware_v lest_o you_o trust_v too_o much_o to_o good_a nature_n let_v we_o now_o go_v to_o the_o business_n in_o hand_n a_o matter_n that_o i_o assure_v you_o be_v not_o manage_v out_o of_o rude_a disrespect_n or_o quarrel_n against_o your_o person_n but_o partly_o to_o rescue_v the_o reputation_n of_o honest_a mr._n lowth_v partly_o to_o do_v right_o to_o the_o memory_n of_o that_o holy_a martyr_n archbishop_n cranmer_n and_o chief_o to_o vindicate_v the_o honour_n and_o interest_n of_o our_o establish_a church_n which_o plain_o lie_v at_o the_o bottom_n of_o this_o dispute_n for_o if_o cranmer_n change_v not_o his_o first_o opinion_n about_o church-power_n any_o man_n that_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o our_o church_n may_v appeal_v to_o cranmer_n judgement_n in_o favour_n of_o erastianisme_n and_o presbytery_n and_o you_o very_o well_o know_v that_o that_o first_o opinion_n of_o that_o great_a man_n have_v be_v stout_o plead_v against_o the_o necessity_n of_o our_o episcopal_a government_n but_o if_o cranmer_n do_v retract_v his_o opinion_n as_o it_o be_v now_o grant_v he_o do_v by_o subscribe_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o dr._n leyghton_n it_o be_v of_o great_a moment_n to_o have_v the_o truth_n of_o that_o retraction_n make_v out_o clear_a now_o this_o we_o say_v you_o have_v not_o do_v and_o that_o therefore_o you_o have_v deal_v unfaithful_o with_o the_o world_n because_o you_o see_v in_o the_o manuscript_n cranmer_n retraction_n and_o subscription_n to_o leyghton_n opinion_n under_o his_o own_o hand_n upon_o the_o point_n of_o church-power_n and_o yet_o have_v not_o note_v it_o in_o your_o collection_n of_o record_n so_o that_o the_o point_n be_v of_o such_o great_a concernment_n you_o must_v not_o think_v it_o will_v be_v end_v by_o hard_a word_n by_o unmannerly_a and_o scurrilous_a language_n especial_o such_o as_o be_v beyond_o the_o rate_n of_o a_o billingsgate_n style_n however_o it_o may_v be_v use_v by_o some_o ill-natured_a pedlar_n abroad_o two_o thing_n only_o you_o say_v in_o your_o defence_n first_o that_o in_o copy_v out_o the_o resolution_n of_o several_a bishop_n and_o divine_n you_o judge_v it_o may_v be_v more_o acceptable_a to_o the_o reader_n to_o see_v every_o man_n answer_n set_v down_o after_o every_o question_n and_o that_o therefore_o you_o publish_a they_o in_o that_o method_n mean_v a_o different_a method_n from_o what_o you_o find_v in_o the_o original_n and_o that_o this_o you_o be_v advise_v to_o as_o be_v the_o easy_a method_n etc._n etc._n second_o that_o when_o you_o come_v to_o the_o last_o question_n about_o extreme_a unction_n you_o set_v this_o down_o on_o the_o margin_n over_o against_o cranmer_n subscription_n to_o his_o own_o paper_n these_o be_v the_o subscription_n which_o be_v at_o the_o end_n of_o every_o man_n paper_n now_o true_o all_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v nothing_o but_o prevarication_n for_o as_o to_o your_o first_o plea_n that_o you_o alter_v the_o method_n in_o the_o original_a manuscript_n instead_o of_o be_v a_o just_a excuse_n it_o be_v a_o direct_a act_n of_o unfaithfulness_n and_o a_o clear_a argument_n of_o a_o sinister_a design_n how_o come_v you_o to_o be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o mangle_v the_o monument_n of_o the_o dead_a especial_o of_o those_o upon_o who_o judgement_n and_o wise_a proceed_n the_o honour_n of_o our_o reformation_n do_v so_o much_o depend_v whoever_o it_o be_v that_o give_v you_o advice_n who_o give_v you_o authority_n to_o methodize_v the_o transcript_n of_o their_o manuscript_n at_o your_o pleasure_n or_o what_o end_n can_v you_o propose_v to_o yourself_o when_o you_o take_v leyghtons_n entire_a paper_n which_o cranmer_n subscribe_v into_o piece_n and_o divide_v the_o several_a part_n of_o it_o scatter_o and_o by_o piece-meal_n here_o and_o there_o as_o you_o own_o you_o have_v do_v unless_o it_o be_v artificial_o to_o conceal_v granmer_n subscription_n to_o every_o point_n in_o the_o paper_n save_v only_o the_o last_o point_n concern_v unction_n for_o can_v you_o with_o reason_n or_o modesty_n pretend_v that_o you_o do_v this_o for_o your_o reader_n ease_n and_o when_o you_o have_v write_v a_o large_a volume_n of_o your_o own_o we_o have_v a_o proverb_n in_o england_n that_o he_o that_o swallow_v a_o ox_n need_v not_o stick_v at_o the_o tail_n especial_o when_o it_o be_v the_o best_a can_v it_o be_v out_o of_o regard_n to_o the_o reader_n ease_n that_o you_o mangle_a the_o paper_n of_o leyghton_n and_o the_o rest_n when_o you_o have_v publish_a so_o many_o entire_a original_n and_o some_o that_o be_v not_o of_o such_o great_a consideration_n in_o the_o rest_n of_o your_o collection_n and_o in_o the_o addenda_fw-la too_o nor_o can_v it_o be_v for_o your_o reader_n satisfaction_n in_o the_o least_o for_o all_o man_n love_v to_o see_v exact_a copy_n of_o manuscript_n and_o have_v these_o be_v so_o we_o shall_v have_v be_v at_o a_o certainty_n touch_v the_o sense_n of_o every_o one_o of_o those_o bishop_n and_o divine_n in_o every_o particular_a point_n whereas_o now_o we_o must_v take_v thing_n upon_o trust_n especial_o such_o as_o have_v not_o the_o manuscript_n at_o command_n we_o must_v presume_v upon_o the_o faith_n of_o dr._n burnet_n which_o we_o think_v a_o task_n too_o hard_a and_o unreasonable_a to_o be_v impose_v upon_o we_o beside_o i_o appeal_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o every_o divine_a in_o our_o church_n whether_o every_o thing_n have_v not_o be_v infinite_o clear_a than_o now_o it_o be_v especial_o that_o thing_n in_o debate_n viz._n the_o opinion_n of_o granmer_n in_o the_o point_n of_o church-power_n have_v leyghton_n paper_n be_v publish_v entire_o with_o cranmer_n own_o hand_n to_o it_o all_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o original_a the_o truth_n be_v have_v the_o paper_n be_v so_o copy_v out_o cranmer_n opinion_n can_v never_o have_v be_v urge_v more_o against_o our_o establish_v church_n government_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v leyhton_n paper_n with_o cranmer_n subscribe_v be_v chop_v and_o mince_v into_o porcel_n without_o cranmer_n hand_n to_o every_o resolution_n that_o his_o opinion_n may_v be_v leave_v very_o dark_a and_o doubtful_a at_o the_o least_o whereas_o every_o faithful_a and_o honest_a historian_n will_v be_v careful_a to_o print_v manuscript_n as_o he_o find_v they_o without_o use_v any_o manner_n of_o suspicious_a trick_n in_o
