or_o not_o it_o matter_n not_o in_o this_o case_n since_o common_a fame_n make_v it_o so_o and_o every_o body_n in_o this_o place_n believe_v it_o and_o that_o you_o likewise_o think_v so_o will_v appear_v from_o that_o expression_n in_o your_o sermon_n yea_o doctor_n burnet_n himself_o can_v instance_n above_o three_o hundred_o martyr_n in_o q._n mary_n day_n the_o word_n himself_n be_v emphatic_a enough_o to_o oblige_v your_o hearer_n to_o believe_v you_o take_v he_o for_o the_o author_n of_o that_o pamphlet_n as_o you_o call_v it_o that_o you_o design_v that_o great_a man_n in_o your_o kind_a epithet_n and_o the_o person_n unknown_a appear_v plain_o by_o your_o calling_n the_o inquir_a a_o man_n that_o have_v make_v a_o great_a bustle_n in_o the_o world_n give_v so_o

be_v not_o the_o first_o time_n you_o have_v speak_v unkind_o of_o he_o when_o you_o talk_v of_o the_o doctor_n his_o ill_a treat_v of_o his_o sovereign_a prince_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o you_o incline_v that_o other_o shall_v share_v in_o this_o imputation_n since_o the_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n of_o the_o nation_n have_v treat_v the_o king_n worse_o by_o their_o action_n in_o your_o

scurrilous_a epithet_n you_o give_v the_o inquirer_n and_o tell_v i_o i_o ought_v rather_o to_o have_v refute_v the_o reason_n against_o he_o the_o truth_n be_v i_o be_v in_o the_o wrong_n to_o quarrel_n with_o such_o epithet_n since_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v congeneal_a with_o your_o nature_n but_o as_o to_o the_o refute_v of_o your_o reason_n as_o my_o memory_n be_v not_o the_o worst_a so_o i_o confess_v it_o be_v none_o of_o the_o best_a which_o make_v i_o loath_a to_o trust_v it_o with_o any_o methodick_n systeme_n of_o the_o slender_a argument_n you_o use_v so_o as_o to_o

not_o at_o least_o endeavour_v to_o answer_v they_o i_o will_v have_v be_v to_o blame_v for_o breach_n of_o promise_n three_o you_o tax_v i_o with_o a_o mistake_n in_o say_v that_o you_o maintain_v passive_a obedience_n to_o be_v the_o sentiment_n of_o all_o the_o protestant_n in_o europe_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o i_o have_v not_o evince_v to_o you_o that_o it_o be_v not_o their_o

of_o your_o hearer_n persuade_v themselves_o you_o say_v so_o but_o i_o can_v but_o take_v notice_n how_o unwilling_a you_o be_v that_o the_o protestant_n abroad_o shall_v share_v in_o your_o
