and many of Hie rgst in' which we : differ , r could : da nothing further , being here stopt at the entrance * But

tried it one day , but this allso he will not proceed in , nor stand to what he speaks , or so suddainly writes : and so when he revoketh it I lose all my labour . I have Since proceeded to make one more attempt in his deliberate way , but to jio satisfaction of
