chancellor_n mrs._n gauden_n dr._n walker_n and_o several_a other_o that_o he_o write_v the_o book_n the_o evidence_n to_o the_o fact_n be_v still_o but_o one_o and_o that_o be_v dr._n gauden_n

2._o if_o there_o be_v any_o interest_n or_o advantage_n to_o be_v reap_v by_o it_o in_o this_o case_n a_o man_n be_v own_o testimony_n be_v always_o resuse_v because_o a_o man_n be_v suspect_v as_o too_o partial_a to_o himself_o and_o apt_a to_o be_v sway_v by_o his_o interest_n and_o if_o we_o be_v to_o give_v any_o credit_n to_o these_o paper_n i_o be_o afraid_a mrs._n gauden_n have_v reveal_v a_o great_a secret_n when_o she_o say_v that_o her_o husband_n hope_v to_o make_v a_o fortune_n by_o it_o for_o if_o that_o be_v the_o end_n of_o his_o own_n himself_o to_o be_v the_o author_n it_o have_v too_o great_a a_o mixture_n of_o carnal_a ingredient_n to_o gain_v much_o credit_n for_o if_o man_n witness_v for_o themselves_o to_o advance_v their_o ambition_n and_o secular_a design_n their_o evidence_n be_v taint_v and_o savour_v of_o project_n and_o artifice_n and_o man_n always_o uspect_v on_o that_o hand_n and_o i_o be_o sorry_a to_o find_v that_o these_o very_a paper_n insinuate_v too_o much_o of_o this_o very_a temper_n to_o be_v in_o dr._n gauden_n in_o these_o two_o instance_n 1._o they_o lay_v before_o we_o a_o very_a strange_a and_o immodest_a magnify_v his_o own_o merit_n and_o particular_o in_o that_o to_o king_n charles_n the_o second_o write_v by_o his_o own_o hand_n wherein_o he_o declare_v what_o hazard_n he_o have_v run_v of_o life_n and_o estate_n and_o yet_o he_o keep_v one_o of_o the_o most_o considerable_a live_n in_o england_n all_o the_o time_n of_o the_o usurpation_n and_o what_o great_a advantage_n have_v accrue_v to_o the_o crown_n by_o his_o service_n and_o in_o his_o letter_n to_o the_o duke_n of_o york_n he_o strong_o urge_v the_o great_a service_n he_o have_v do_v that_o what_o be_v do_v like_o a_o king_n shall_v have_v a_o kinglike_a retribution_n and_o instance_n in_o the_o case_n of_o joseph_n mordeeai_n and_o daniel_n who_o be_v honour_v and_o reward_v for_o the_o service_n they_o do_v to_o the_o respective_a prince_n and_o in_o particular_a observe_n that_o ahasuerus_n be_v uneasy_a till_o mordecai_n have_v have_v his_o merit_a reward_n now_o these_o be_v fine_a character_n indeed_o and_o give_v a_o good_a account_n of_o dr._n gauden_n performance_n but_o they_o look_v a_o little_a scurvy_o come_v from_o his_o own_o mouth_n have_v the_o dr._n never_o a_o friend_n at_o court_n methinks_v my_o lord_n of_o warwick_n or_o manchester_n his_o know_a friend_n and_o patron_n or_o else_o my_o lord_n marquis_n of_o hartford_n and_o bishop_n duppa_n may_v have_v save_v he_o this_o trouble_v and_o so_o certain_o they_o will_v have_v they_o know_v by_o he_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o the_o writing_n the_o king_n book_n but_o since_o the_o dr._n be_v force_v to_o make_v use_n of_o himself_o it_o seem_v pretty_a plain_a that_o there_o be_v no_o body_n else_o to_o employ_v in_o this_o matter_n and_o that_o no_o person_n about_o the_o king_n know_v the_o drs._n merit_v so_o well_o as_o himself_o the_o truth_n be_v a_o man_n that_o be_v clamorous_a in_o his_o own_o praise_n always_o look_v suspicious_o and_o he_o that_o can_v break_v through_o all_o the_o bound_n of_o modesty_n and_o decency_n to_o magnify_v his_o own_o merit_n may_v possible_o not_o be_v very_o shy_a in_o strain_v at_o a_o point_n of_o truth_n to_o make_v it_o good_a boast_v always_o stand_v near_o untruth_n and_o tread_v on_o the_o very_a heel_n of_o it_o to_o this_o may_v be_v add_v 2._o a_o immoderate_a desire_n of_o reward_n and_o undue_a solicitation_n for_o it_o thus_o these_o paper_n represent_v he_o as_o discontent_v with_o his_o preferment_n to_o the_o bishopric_n of_o exeter_n tell_v the_o king_n that_o he_o have_v a_o high_a rack_n but_o a_o low_a manger_n although_o there_o be_v several_a bishopric_n in_o england_n and_o wales_n inferior_a to_o that_o in_o point_n of_o revenue_n and_o at_o that_o time_n possess_v by_o man_n of_o very_o great_a worth_n and_o virtue_n thus_o also_o he_o teach_v the_o king_n to_o be_v grateful_a to_o he_o by_o the_o respective_a advancement_n of_o joseph_n daniel_n and_o mordecai_n thus_o in_o the_o letter_n to_o the_o duke_n of_o york_n he_o importunate_o beg_v his_o royal_a highness_n to_o intercede_v for_o he_o with_o the_o king_n and_o in_o the_o lord_n chancellor_n hyde_n letter_n to_o he_o it_o be_v express_v that_o he_o be_v uneasy_a under_o the_o bishop_n importunity_n these_o thing_n plain_o represent_v a_o very_a ambitious_a temper_n covetous_a of_o preferment_n hasty_a and_o patient_a in_o the_o pursuit_n of_o it_o and_o when_o man_n be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o such_o a_o complexion_n they_o do_v not_o general_o manage_v themselves_o by_o nice_a and_o punctual_a method_n and_o to_o be_v sure_o such_o a_o man_n merit_n will_v lose_v nothing_o by_o his_o own_o tell_v they_o nor_o himself_o any_o thing_n for_o want_n of_o ask_v and_o the_o truth_n be_v overvalue_a our_o own_o merit_n and_o claim_v those_o which_o be_v none_o of_o our_o own_o differ_v very_o little_a in_o point_n of_o modesty_n and_o virtue_n and_o he_o that_o can_v do_v one_o in_o all_o probability_n will_v not_o stick_v at_o the_o other_o if_o he_o think_v it_o feasible_a to_o accomplish_v the_o end_n he_o aim_v at_o so_o that_o those_o who_o have_v publish_v these_o paper_n have_v do_v but_o little_a service_n to_o the_o bishop_n memory_n and_o as_o little_a to_o the_o cause_n they_o pretend_v to_o maintain_v for_o though_o i_o do_v not_o from_o hence_o conclude_v that_o the_o bishop_n ever_o tell_v king_n charles_n the_o duke_n of_o york_n or_o the_o lord_n chancellor_n that_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o book_n yet_o if_o ever_o he_o do_v so_o or_o to_o any_o other_o i_o do_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v his_o own_o cause_n and_o for_o such_o end_n and_o join_v with_o such_o a_o temper_n it_o apparent_o sink_v the_o credit_n of_o his_o own_o testimony_n and_o render_v it_o of_o no_o value_n 2._o another_o thing_n which_o will_v take_v off_o the_o force_n of_o dr._n gauden_n testimony_n in_o this_o case_n suppose_v he_o ever_o attest_v it_o be_v the_o immorality_n and_o infamy_n of_o the_o whole_a practice_n which_o must_v be_v charge_v upon_o he_o upon_o such_o a_o supposition_n and_o that_o be_v write_v a_o book_n in_o the_o king_n name_n and_o therein_o personate_n he_o in_o the_o act_n of_o piety_n devotion_n and_o high_a point_n of_o conscience_n which_o whatever_o the_o end_n may_v be_v in_o the_o soft_a language_n be_v first_o invent_v a_o falsehood_n and_o then_o impose_v it_o upon_o the_o world_n and_o as_o these_o paper_n intimate_v upon_o the_o king_n too_o for_o they_o plain_o tell_v we_o he_o never_o have_v the_o king_n consent_n have_v the_o devotionary_a part_n be_v compose_v for_o the_o king_n be_v private_a use_n and_o assistance_n the_o attempt_n may_v have_v be_v dutiful_a and_o charitable_a though_o there_o have_v be_v no_o need_n for_o it_o to_o a_o prince_n who_o be_v so_o admirable_o qualify_v himself_o and_o the_o king_n if_o he_o have_v think_v they_o suitable_a may_v by_o they_o have_v express_v the_o sense_n of_o his_o own_o heart_n but_o to_o give_v they_o to_o the_o world_n as_o the_o king_n be_v own_o which_o he_o never_o frame_v nor_o use_v nor_o so_o much_o as_o own_v be_v to_o counterfeit_v the_o king_n conscience_n which_o as_o i_o take_v it_o be_v a_o more_o audacious_a and_o far_o great_a crime_n than_o to_o counterfeit_v his_o coin_n his_o hand_n or_o his_o great_a seal_n for_o such_o a_o practice_n mock_v god_n as_o
