one_o to_o himself_o say_v lord_n be_v it_o i_o they_o go_v not_o about_o to_o clear_v the_o matter_n but_o believe_v it_o be_v true_a and_o immediate_o make_v a_o thorough_a search_n until_o the_o thing_n be_v bring_v forth_o open_o and_o afterward_o they_o seek_v not_o to_o cover_v the_o transgressor_n but_o declare_v the_o truth_n and_o leave_v it_o upon_o record_n to_o be_v read_v by_o age_n to_o come_v neither_o do_v they_o seek_v to_o hide_v the_o shameful_a sin_n of_o peter_n in_o curse_v and_o swear_v that_o he_o know_v not_o the_o lord_n neither_o do_v paul_n seek_v to_o cover_v the_o hypocrisy_n of_o peter_n when_o he_o find_v cause_n of_o reproof_n nor_o do_v he_o admonish_v other_o to_o let_v it_o fall_v but_o publish_v these_o thing_n and_o they_o be_v upon_o record_n and_o the_o prophet_n do_v not_o seek_v to_o hide_v the_o shameful_a adultery_n of_o david_n the_o king_n one_o of_o the_o most_o eminent_a king_n in_o many_o respect_n that_o ever_o appear_v in_o the_o world_n jesus_n christ_n except_v and_o although_o the_o king_n make_v no_o more_o ado_n but_o confess_v his_o sin_n and_o although_o the_o prophet_n upon_o the_o next_o word_n say_v thy_o sin_n be_v take_v away_o yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o there_o be_v no_o cover_v or_o hide_v but_o it_o must_v be_v record_v and_o king_n david_n do_v not_o bid_v the_o prophet_n let_v it_o fall_v leave_v bad_a spirit_n shall_v know_v of_o it_o as_o you_o do_v and_o herein_o you_o be_v find_v out_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n but_o some_o objection_n may_v be_v put_v 1._o we_o only_o declare_v against_o the_o envy_n and_o malice_n of_o the_o author_n and_o not_o against_o his_o person_n 2._o we_o charge_v he_o to_o be_v a_o liar_n and_o a_o false_a accuser_n and_o our_o charge_n stand_v good_a and_o firm_a because_o he_o dare_v not_o appear_v and_o stand_v by_o his_o testimony_n and_o 3._o we_o declare_v against_o his_o treachery_n and_o combination_n with_o our_o profess_a enemy_n and_o furnish_v those_o enemy_n of_o truth_n with_o such_o slanderous_a lie_a accusation_n against_o we_o and_o hide_v himself_o not_o dare_v to_o show_v his_o face_n answer_v 1._o his_o malice_n and_o envy_n can_v do_v you_o no_o hurt_n for_o it_o be_v worse_a to_o be_v the_o bearer_n of_o malice_n and_o envy_n than_o to_o they_o that_o it_o be_v bear_v against_o and_o therefore_o it_o have_v better_o become_v you_o to_o have_v sober_o clear_v yourselves_o from_o the_o thing_n charge_v than_o to_o bear_v such_o testimony_n against_o malice_n and_o envy_n which_o be_v a_o inward_a principle_n 2._o see_v that_o in_o your_o answer_n you_o justify_v most_o part_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o charge_n he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v judge_v a_o liar_n and_o a_o false_a accuser_n although_o that_o his_o name_n be_v not_o at_o his_o charge_n and_o moreover_o in_o his_o letter_n it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o his_o intention_n be_v to_o have_v it_o publish_v and_o therefore_o it_o savour_v more_o of_o malice_n and_o envy_n in_o you_o for_o it_o break_v forth_o and_o issue_v out_o of_o your_o bottle_n against_o they_o which_o you_o call_v hat-man_n without_o any_o distinction_n but_o he_o make_v a_o clear_a distinction_n between_o what_o he_o declare_v against_o and_o what_o he_o be_v for_o and_o have_v not_o jumble_v all_o good_a and_o bad_a together_o but_o in_o plainness_n of_o speech_n declare_v what_o it_o be_v that_o he_o disow_v and_o declare_v against_o among_o you_o and_o you_o yourselves_o confess_v most_o part_n of_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n only_o you_o seek_v to_o darken_v counsel_n and_o will_v have_v people_n believe_v that_o your_o meaning_n be_v otherwise_o and_o herein_o the_o lie_n and_o the_o false_a accusation_n stand_v upon_o you_o for_o as_o i_o say_v you_o accuse_v all_o the_o hat-man_n as_o you_o call_v they_o so_o that_o if_o his_o charge_n have_v be_v altogether_o false_a i_o dare_v say_v there_o be_v hundred_o of_o those_o which_o you_o call_v hat-man_n that_o be_v innocent_a and_o do_v not_o know_v of_o those_o deboist_a filthy_a action_n which_o you_o slubberly_a seek_v to_o hide_v and_o cover_v 3._o you_o in_o that_o book_n also_o charge_v all_o hat-man_n as_o you_o term_v we_o to_o be_v malicious_a vagabond_n apostate_n and_o this_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o one_o private_a

too_o small_a a_o recompense_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o haman_n to_o have_v mordecai_n himself_o punish_v but_o he_o will_v have_v all_o the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n destroy_v and_o the_o cause_n be_v no_o other_o but_o that_o mordecai_n sit_v in_o the_o gate_n will_v not_o bow_v to_o haman_n and_o there_o be_v no_o other_o cause_n of_o all_o your_o sentence_n of_o condemnation_n against_o the_o hat-man_n as_o you_o call_v we_o but_o because_o we_o sit_v as_o you_o say_v upon_o our_o briche_n when_o you_o pray_v to_o your_o god_n and_o not_o put_v off_o our_o hat_n another_o objection_n do_v not_o thou_o pervert_v our_o declaration_n concern_v the_o hat_n which_o be_v only_o the_o put_v it_o off_o to_o magistrate_n we_o declare_v against_o and_o not_o the_o put_v it_o off_o to_o

and_o for_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o time_n as_o you_o will_v have_v it_o to_o be_v and_o herein_o naaman_n the_o syrian_a have_v a_o more_o clear_a defence_n for_o his_o bow_n in_o the_o house_n of_o rimmon_n because_o that_o he_o reserve_v that_o when_o he_o declare_v that_o he_o will_v worship_v no_o other_o god_n but_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n only_o when_o his_o master_n go_v

carrying_z it_o unto_o the_o wicked_a professor_n but_o we_o can_v make_v a_o book_n of_o your_o fail_n and_o herein_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o please_v with_o the_o hide_v of_o wickedness_n and_o transgression_n for_o though_o noah_n be_v the_o only_a man_n that_o find_v favour_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n in_o the_o old_a world_n yet_o his_o fail_n must_v not_o be_v
