he_o think_v it_o seem_v that_o scurrility_n be_v suitable_a enough_o to_o the_o part_n he_o act_v when_o he_o sustain_v the_o person_n of_o another_o and_o be_v ashamed_a of_o it_o when_o he_o lay_v

on_o the_o side_n of_o lenity_n and_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v much_o concern_v at_o this_o exception_n nevertheless_o my_o adversary_n may_v be_v assure_v that_o such_o a_o conduct_n as_o he_o must_v needs_o have_v awaken_v the_o observation_n of_o many_o and_o i_o can_v promise_v that_o other_o will_v spare_v he_o as_o i_o have_v do_v or_o that_o he_o may_v not_o receive_v such_o correction_n from_o a_o severe_a hand_n as_o he_o be_v not_o stoic_a enough_o to_o bear_v for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v have_v be_v content_a if_o he_o have_v refine_v away_o none_o of_o his_o personal_a reflection_n i_o be_v willing_a enough_o that_o the_o world_n shall_v have_v see_v with_o what_o a_o impotent_a fury_n i_o have_v be_v assault_v by_o he_o and_o i_o shall_v have_v be_v glad_a to_o have_v be_v ease_v of_o the_o fatigue_n of_o writing_n and_o give_v a_o new_a turn_v to_o the_o answer_n i_o have_v send_v he_o but_o for_o his_o own_o sake_n i_o congratulate_v to_o he_o any_o

you_o may_v perceive_v from_o the_o admonition_n he_o give_v i_o in_o his_o letter_n of_o feb._n 9_o that_o he_o and_o i_o be_v never_o like_a to_o answer_v one_o another_o expectation_n so_o long_o
