since_o the_o bishop_n repeat_v it_o from_o we_o out_o of_o our_o aforesaid_a four_o head_n about_o justification_n by_o christ_n where_o we_o call_v he_o by_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n as_o may_v

full_a of_o grace_n and_o truth_n i_o wonder_v how_o the_o bishop_n come_v to_o suppose_v a_o thing_n in_o our_o name_n so_o very_o gross_a but_o he_o proceed_v in_o the_o same_o paragraph_n you_o

of_o fear_n towards_o god_n or_o upon_o a_o conscientious_a bottom_n but_o to_o serve_v a_o worldly_a turn_v for_o he_o ask_v we_o be_v it_o not_o your_o main_a aim_n end_v and_o study_n by_o

and_o profane_a can_v make_v upon_o our_o behaviour_n so_o i_o beseech_v god_n to_o forgive_v the_o bishop_n and_o make_v he_o sensible_a how_o little_a such_o treatment_n of_o strict_a &_o sober_a live_n advance_v the_o common_a cause_n of_o religion_n and_o how_o much_o it_o indulge_v those_o that_o know_v no_o reins_o or_o check_n to_o their_o excess_n in_o his_o own_o church_n but_o to_o

of_o their_o behaviour_n so_o indeed_o do_v the_o chemerim_n or_o black_a coat_n of_o old_a and_o those_o that_o wear_v long_a robe_n in_o our_o saviour_n time_n but_o as_o i_o take_v it_o they_o go_v not_o without_o his_o censure_n while_o i_o think_v the_o bishop_n will_v find_v none_o in_o scripture_n against_o our_o plainness_n but_o the_o bishop_n pontifical_a robe_n do_v in_o my_o opinion_n look_v much_o more_o like_a singularity_n and_o a_o sight_n than_o we_o for_o our_o garb_n be_v like_o other_o man_n only_o free_v of_o their_o superfluity_n in_o short_a i_o wish_v he_o a_o better_a understanding_n of_o the_o true_a ground_n of_o our_o strict_a conduct_n and_o where_o and_o who_o they_o be_v that_o make_v a_o trade_n of_o religion_n that_o if_o he_o have_v any_o shot_n leave_v against_o mercenary_a religionist_n he_o may_v not_o miss_v the_o mark_n next_o time_n but_o may_v make_v it_o his_o main_a aim_n end_v and_o study_n to_o expose_v hireling_n and_o hypocrite_n in_o

the_o advantage_n he_o give_v i_o by_o his_o query_n and_o what_o a_o wide_a door_n he_o open_v to_o a_o severe_a retaliation_n but_o my_o desire_n to_o be_v modest_a and_o to_o be_v silent_a upon_o

for_o reason_n of_o state_n peculiar_a privilege_n must_v be_v indulge_v if_o this_o be_v not_o more_o than_o mockery_n i_o shall_v wave_v my_o notice_n but_o call_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o
