say_v how_o well_o he_o have_v acquit_v himself_o in_o the_o management_n of_o this_o argument_n be_v by_o himself_o submit_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o world_n in_o his_o publication_n of_o

to_o mr._n allen_n vindication_n with_o a_o false_a insinuation_n that_o in_o their_o la●●_n preface_n they_o give_v their_o opinion_n of_o the_o ability_n of_o the_o author_n to_o speak_v for_o

they_o shall_v utter_v this_o false_a insinuation_n unless_o it_o be_v to_o squeeze_v themselves_o from_o under_o their_o absolute_a commendation_n of_o those_o error_n in_o mr._n allen_n essay_n

also_o lawful_a for_o one_o voice_n alone_o to_o sing_v the_o praise_n of_o god_n indeed_o in_o a_o public_a assembly_n i_o conclude_v it_o be_v much_o more_o warrantable_a for_o the_o whole_a
