and_o s._n lxxxvi_o madam_n in_o your_o last_o letter_n you_o do_v friendly_a chide_v i_o for_o my_o passionate_a anger_n and_o for_o some_o word_n i_o do_v speak_v in_o that_o angry_a passion_n i_o confess_v my_o error_n but_o yet_o you_o must_v know_v that_o my_o passion_n proceed_v from_o extreme_a natural_a and_o honest_a love_n as_o to_o be_v angry_a in_o mind_n and_o bitter_a and_o sharp_a in_o word_n to_o and_o of_o those_o i_o know_v by_o experience_n and_o practice_n to_o be_v envious_a spiteful_a malicious_a and_o ungrateful_a to_o those_o i_o do_v and_o ought_v dear_o to_o love_n and_o this_o make_v i_o speak_v that_o which_o discretion_n perchance_o do_v not_o allow_v or_o approve_v of_o although_o honesty_n can_v not_o forbid_v it_o but_o have_v it_o be_v in_o my_o own_o particular_a cause_n or_o person_n i_o shall_v neither_o have_v be_v angry_a nor_o bitter_a neither_o in_o thought_n nor_o word_n for_o i_o can_v easy_o pass_v over_o all_o hate_n or_o anger_n either_o in_o word_n or_o action_n to_o myself_o so_o they_o be_v neither_o contumelious_a nor_o impairable_o dishonourable_a the_o first_o can_v proceed_v from_o none_o but_o my_o superior_n the_o other_o from_o none_o but_o bestial_a ruffian_n as_o for_o my_o superior_n i_o count_v none_o my_o superior_n but_o those_o that_o surpass_v i_o in_o virue_a grace_n wisdom_n and_o excellency_n of_o mind_n except_o my_o natural_a parent_n and_o as_o for_o rude_a ruffian_n i_o be_o of_o such_o quality_n as_o not_o to_o keep_v such_o company_n nor_o to_o be_v unattended_a by_o servant_n that_o wait_v upon_o i_o or_o near_o my_o call_n but_o i_o confess_v my_o indiscretion_n for_o violent_a passion_n do_v neither_o gain_n justice_n right_o nor_o truth_n of_o malice_n wrong_v and_o falsehood_n yet_o i_o be_o oblige_v to_o you_o for_o your_o love_n for_o you_o have_v show_v more_o true_a friendship_n in_o your_o reproof_n than_o feign_a friend_n do_v in_o their_o flattery_n for_o

be_v a_o divine_a by_o order_n and_o profession_n the_o subject_a of_o his_o book_n which_o be_v concern_v the_o scripture_n have_v be_v most_o applaudable_a but_o be_v a_o layman_n and_o not_o a_o consecrate_a churchman_n the_o scripture_n be_v not_o a_o fit_a theme_n for_o his_o pen_n to_o work_v upon_o at_o least_o not_o in_o my_o opinion_n for_o although_o i_o keep_v strict_o to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n yet_o i_o think_v it_o not_o fit_a for_o a_o layman_n to_o busy_v his_o pen_n concern_v the_o scripture_n for_o it_o belong_v only_o to_o churchman_n to_o study_v interpret_v expound_v teach_v and_o preach_v the_o scripture_n and_o its_o a_o usurpation_n for_o layman_n to_o meddle_v in_o churchmen_n profession_n unless_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o a_o layman_n have_v more_o wit_n reason_n learning_n and_o inspiration_n than_o all_o the_o churchman_n have_v but_o true_o madam_n the_o book_n be_v a_o excellent_a book_n in_o that_o kind_a only_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o tell_v you_o that_o to_o defend_v scripture_n be_v partly_o to_o express_v fault_n in_o scripture_n and_o to_o dispute_v upon_o the_o obscurity_n in_o scripture_n be_v to_o puzzle_v the_o truth_n in_o scripture_n but_o leave_v scripture_n to_o the_o churchman_n and_o the_o author_n to_o fame_n i_o rest_v madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o servant_n lxxxvii_o madam_n i_o be_o sorry_a mrs._n d._n be_v so_o despair_o melancholy_a as_o not_o to_o be_v comfort_v and_o i_o be_o the_o more_o sorry_a that_o the_o ground_n of_o her_o despair_n be_v the_o bible_n and_o ignorant_a interpreter_n such_o as_o rather_o confound_v the_o clear_a expression_n therein_o than_o clear_a the_o dark_a and_o mystical_a but_o many_o pious_a person_n have_v fall_v into_o the_o same_o distemper_n through_o want_n of_o deep_a capacity_n clear_a understanding_n and_o sound_v judgement_n to_o interpret_v the_o scripture_n or_o to_o conceive_v the_o spiritual_a inspection_n and_o elevation_n of_o the_o purity_n of_o christian_a religion_n and_o all_o the_o several_a opinion_n therein_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v the_o pure_a but_o yet_o it_o have_v suffer_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v read_v too_o common_o which_o have_v cause_v much_o disturbance_n not_o only_o to_o particular_a person_n but_o in_o the_o church_n itself_o and_o have_v lose_v much_o of_o the_o dignity_n belong_v to_o churchman_n nay_o it_o have_v so_o discompose_v the_o church-government_n as_o it_o be_v a_o wonder_n it_o shall_v settle_v in_o its_o centre_n again_o but_o the_o churchman_n say_v they_o give_v layman_n leave_v for_o to_o read_v the_o scripture_n but_o not_o to_o interpret_v it_o but_o the_o leave_v of_o the_o first_o give_v leave_v to_o the_o latter_a but_o madam_n these_o cause_n be_v not_o for_o our_o sex_n to_o discourse_n of_o wherefore_o we_o will_v rather_o pray_v for_o our_o afflict_a friend_n mrs._n d._n and_o so_o take_v my_o leave_n of_o you_o i_o rest_v madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o servant_n lxxxviii_o madam_n i_o do_v not_o wonder_n that_o the_o war_n in_o e._n against_o o._n have_v no_o better_a success_n since_o there_o be_v such_o petty_a commander_n and_o mean_a governor_n and_o i_o fear_v the_o war_a design_n of_o g._n will_v have_v no_o better_o fortune_n because_o the_o general_n which_o be_v to_o command_v in_o chief_a be_v not_o much_o better_a than_o those_o that_o be_v to_o be_v command_v neither_o for_o skill_n conduct_v fame_n title_n friend_n wealth_n nor_o power_n in_o all_o which_o a_o general_n ought_v to_o surpass_v those_o he_o command_v for_o they_o may_v be_v good_a soldier_n for_o a_o troop_n regiment_n or_o brigade_n which_o be_v not_o skilful_a or_o fit_a for_o a_o general_n for_o to_o be_v a_o good_a general_n do_v not_o only_o require_v skill_n and_o courage_n but_o wise_a conduct_n and_o wisdom_n be_v not_o find_v in_o every_o soldier_n brain_n beside_o a_o general_n must_v be_v a_o man_n of_o note_n for_o a_o inferior_a person_n will_v hardly_o be_v obey_v for_o if_o he_o be_v not_o a_o man_n of_o fame_n title_n worth_a and_o merit_n every_o under_o commander_n will_v think_v himself_o as_o good_a and_o fit_a to_o be_v a_o general_n as_o he_o and_o will_v scorn_v to_o be_v command_v by_o his_o equal_a wherefore_o superior_n be_v only_o fit_a to_o be_v commander_n and_o governor_n beside_o a_o general_n or_o governor_n must_v be_v full_a of_o generosity_n free_a from_o covetousness_n which_o generosity_n seldom_o cohabit'_v with_o poverty_n or_o inferior_a person_n also_o they_o must_v be_v just_o both_o to_o punish_v and_o reward_v resolute_a to_o execute_v the_o one_o and_o forward_a to_o perform_v the_o other_o but_o officer_n governor_n and_o commander_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n choose_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o bribe_n faction_n or_o favour_n and_o not_o for_o fitness_n worth_a and_o merit_n which_o cause_n so_o many_o disorder_n complaint_n and_o

nation_n be_v force_v to_o war_n with_o each_o other_o to_o keep_v their_o native_n from_o civil_a dissension_n but_o war_n be_v not_o a_o subject_a proper_a for_o our_o sex_n to_o discourse_v of_o although_o in_o the_o ruin_n of_o war_n we_o suffer_v equal_o with_o man_n wherefore_o leave_v this_o discourse_n of_o war_n i_o conclude_v with_o peace_n for_o i_o be_o madam_n your_o faithful_a
