a_o reply_n to_o benjamin_n bird_n ignorance_n folly_n etc._n etc._n by_o he_o dedicate_v to_o his_o ingenious_a and_o very_a love_a friend_n mr._n william_n clap_v of_o abbot_n wootton_n solomon_n give_v a_o account_n of_o one_o that_o be_v wise_a in_o his_o own_o conceit_n than_o 7_o man_n that_o can_v render_v a_o reason_n and_o tell_v we_o there_o be_v more_o hope_n of_o a_o fool_n than_o of_o he_o and_o also_o apt_o say_v a_o whip_n for_o a_o horse_n a_o bridle_n for_o a_o ass_n and_o a_o rod_n for_o the_o fool_n back_n but_o when_o by_o many_o fit_a comparison_n he_o have_v set_v he_o forth_o and_o show_v how_o unfit_a he_o be_v to_o send_v a_o message_n by_o declare_v the_o great_a god_n that_o form_v all_o thing_n will_v both_o reward_v the_o fool_n and_o transgressor_n and_o therefore_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o he_o will_v reward_v he_o who_o folly_n and_o conceit_n pride_n and_o enmity_n have_v bring_v he_o to_o that_o pitch_n to_o account_v other_o ignorant_a and_o nonsensical_a and_o himself_o a_o great_a discoverer_n which_o indeed_o i_o must_v grant_v he_o be_v of_o his_o own_o folly_n etc._n etc._n and_o because_o i_o be_o not_o willing_a any_o shall_v take_v this_o upon_o my_o authority_n only_o i_o shall_v offer_v the_o follow_a consideration_n and_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o true_o wise_a and_o judicious_a to_o determine_v i._o consider_v what_o solomon_n say_v it_o be_v a_o honour_n for_o a_o man_n to_o cease_v from_o strife_n but_o every_o fool_n will_v be_v meddle_v and_o again_o he_o that_o meddle_v with_o strife_n belong_v not_o to_o he_o be_v like_o one_o that_o take_v a_o dog_n by_o the_o ear_n and_o as_o a_o madman_n who_o cast_v firebrand_n arrow_n and_o death_n prov._n 26.18_o ii_o now_o this_o man_n coat_n consider_v and_o who_o cause_n he_o espouse_v i_o leave_v to_o the_o judicious_a to_o determine_v how_o apt_o these_o scripture_n be_v apply_v to_o he_o and_o how_o it_o become_v he_o to_o be_v advocate_n for_o the_o

term_v 2_o of_o they_o nonsensical_a i_o must_v confess_v his_o conceit_n have_v exceed_v his_o proof_n thus_o much_o to_o his_o folly_n and_o now_o as_o to_o his_o pride_n let_v he_o consider_v what_o solomon_n say_v he_o that_o be_v of_o a_o proud_a heart_n stir_v up_o strife_n and_o if_o the_o scorner_n be_v cast_v out_o strife_n will_v cease_v and_o as_o little_a sense_n as_o he_o esteem_v the_o quaker_n to_o have_v they_o can_v by_o his_o pamphlet_n discern_v that_o his_o pride_n and_o contempt_n against_o the_o light_n within_o show_v his_o enmity_n and_o bespeak_v he_o a_o evil-doer_n for_o as_o christ_n say_v it_o be_v such_o as_o hate_v the_o light_n and_o he_o write_v in_o defence_n of_o he_o that_o say_v the_o light_n within_o be_v the_o great_a diana_n by_o who_o the_o jack_n of_o all_o trader_n have_v their_o wealth_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o these_o craftsman_n speak_v so_o honourable_o of_o the_o idol_n great_a be_v the_o quaker_n light_v within_o thus_o like_o herod_n and_o pilate_n the_o presbyterian_a libeler_n and_o this_o episcopalian_a priest_n though_o i_o esteem_v not_o all_o of_o his_o mind_n can_v combine_v together_o to_o vent_v their_o
