will_v not_o have_v you_o believe_v it_o you_o must_v not_o suppose_v etc._n etc._n it_o seem_v you_o dare_v not_o affirm_v he_o do_v not_o speak_v so_o much_o but_o you_o be_v loath_a the_o people_n

the_o man_n be_v not_o yet_o bear_v that_o ever_o dare_v tamper_v with_o he_o about_o it_o mark_v i_o beseech_v you_o either_o mr._n masterson_n be_v never_o bear_v and_o therefore_o a_o monster_n

those_o you_o so_o much_o boast_v of_o this_o i_o will_v undertake_v when_o you_o dare_v to_o make_v good_a and_o true_o then_o if_o your_o witness_n will_v say_v one_o thing_n and_o swear_v another_o i_o shall_v hardly_o think_v he_o either_o valiant_a or_o honest_a but_o only_o one_o of_o your_o disciple_n that_o can_v alter_v his_o tone_n as_o occasion_n be_v offer_v but_o wave_v the_o rest_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o pleasant_a part_n of_o the_o story_n viz._n the_o certificate_n which_o methinks_v savour_n of_o the_o priest_n for_o sure_a i_o be_o it_o be_v the_o product_n of_o nothing_o less_o than_o spleen_n and_o inveteracy_n which_o no_o witness_n shall_v be_v fraught_v withal_o but_o i_o desire_v the_o reader_n to_o observe_v how_o impertinent_a this_o be_v to_o the_o prove_n of_o mr._n masterson_n relation_n true_a he_o give_v we_o a_o certificate_n as_o he_o pretend_v wherein_o mr._n willison_n affirm_v he_o speak_v not_o such_o and_o such_o word_n but_o i_o

have_v weigh_v this_o follow_a testimony_n not_o of_o one_o but_o of_o many_o man_n both_o valiant_a and_o faithful_a who_o have_v do_v more_o for_o truth_n vindication_n in_o the_o face_n of_o
