and_o such_o as_o be_v stranger_n to_o the_o business_n to_o the_o place_n and_o to_o he_o hitherto_o i_o have_v have_v no_o further_a trial_n than_o to_o avoid_v the_o single_a attack_n of_o a_o

not_o the_o least_o hint_n of_o one_o of_o their_o name_n in_o the_o vindication_n of_o this_o passage_n i_o shall_v desire_v the_o reader_n fair_o and_o equal_o to_o consider_v the_o occasion_n mr._n

in_o their_o turn_n when_o they_o be_v not_o in_o action_n they_o have_v prayer_n and_o sermon_n every_o day_n he_o proceed_v gentile_o and_o impartial_o to_o commemorate_v the_o carriage_n of_o the_o seven_o nonconforming_a minister_n give_v they_o this_o encomium_n beyond_o that_o he_o say_v of_o his_o own_o brethren_n that_o they_o be_v careful_a of_o their_o people_n and_o keep_v they_o very_o obedient_a and_o quiet_a and_o have_v a_o design_n rhetorical_o to_o enforce_v their_o commendation_n he_o can_v not_o more_o artificial_o insinuate_v it_o to_o their_o advantage_n than_o by_o mark_v the_o plain_a disparity_n in_o the_o behaviour_n of_o their_o brother_n mr._n osburn_n who_o in_o his_o letter_n message_n and_o discourse_n be_v report_a to_o entertain_v sentiment_n very_o much_o different_a from_o they_o i_o shall_v not_o at_o present_a say_v any_o more_o of_o mr._n osburn_n than_o what_o be_v already_o say_v but_o i_o desire_v every_o man_n who_o be_v not_o bias_v by_o

of_o public_a affair_n and_o the_o action_n of_o private_a man_n see_v a_o letter_n from_o a_o person_n general_o know_v and_o a_o eminent_a leader_n of_o a_o party_n discover_v a_o admission_n into_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o popish_a lord_n deputy_n the_o great_a engine_n and_o operator_n in_o the_o ruin_n of_o ireland_n a_o intimacy_n with_o he_o and_o a_o trust_n and_o commission_n derive_v

side_n in_o case_n of_o opposition_n and_o the_o delusion_n of_o hope_n to_o be_v secure_a under_o a_o protection_n in_o case_n of_o submission_n and_o a_o tame_a surrender_n of_o their_o arm_n and_o horse_n i_o say_v whether_o mr._n walker_n peruse_v this_o ambiguous_a letter_n and_o observe_v the_o pernicious_a effect_n of_o it_o upon_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o people_n in_o ulster_n especial_o those_o of_o the_o writer_n persuasion_n whereby_o they_o be_v influence_v to_o a_o stupid_a &_o fatal_a compliance_n as_o if_o the_o doctrine_n of_o passive_a obedience_n &_o nonresistance_n may_v be_v teach_v on_o fit_a occasion_n even_o by_o such_o as_o dissent_v from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v not_o reason_n to_o suspect_v his_o candour_n and_o too_o apprehensive_a and_o become_v very_o jealous_a of_o his_o integrity_n if_o this_o argument_n will_v not_o suffice_v to_o justify_v mr._n w_n assertion_n who_o in_o the_o whole_a narrative_n be_v not_o provoke_v to_o fix_v a_o positive_a character_n on_o any_o other_o person_n but_o he_o there_o may_v possible_o be_v more_o demonstrative_a proof_n ready_a to_o be_v produce_v which_o nothing_o but_o querulous_a murmur_n sophistical_a evasion_n and_o unhandsome_a reflection_n can_v extort_v from_o he_o for_o assure_o neither_o he_o nor_o i_o retain_v any_o inclination_n but_o what_o tend_v to_o moderation_n and_o unity_n earnest_o wish_v a_o perfect_a agreement_n &_o understanding_n among_o all_o protestant_n as_o to_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o expostulation_n why_o eighteen_o name_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n shall_v be_v distinct_o recite_v and_o of_o seven_o nonconforming_a minister_n not_o one_o shall_v be_v remember_v i_o have_v only_o this_o to_o say_v that_o since_o those_o gentleman_n do_v not_o think_v it_o fit_a to_o join_v with_o mr._n walker_n in_o the_o church_n and_o possible_o their_o inclination_n do_v not_o dispose_v they_o to_o meet_v he_o upon_o the_o wall_n or_o accompany_v he_o in_o his_o sally_n it_o be_v no_o way_n strange_a or_o improbable_a that_o their_o name_n shall_v be_v altogether_o unknown_a to_o he_o neither_o can_v he_o be_v suspect_v purposely_o to_o overlook_a the_o name_n of_o they_o since_o he_o have_v remember_v they_o general_o with_o so_o ingenious_a a_o description_n of_o their_o care_n and_o concernment_n for_o their_o flock_n nay_o to_o put_v it_o out_o of_o all_o doubt_n and_o beyond_o the_o reach_n of_o murmur_n itself_o let_v it_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o i_o be_o well_o assure_v of_o what_o i_o say_v that_o when_o mr._n walker_n give_v his_o majesty_n a_o account_n of_o the_o affair_n of_o london-derry_n he_o candid_o and_o impartial_o represent_v the_o action_n and_o service_n of_o those_o few_o dissenter_n in_o the_o garrison_n and_o recommend_v they_o to_o the_o king_n favour_n equal_o with_o the_o rest_n some_o remark_n upon_o the_o great_a
