which_o relation_n be_v the_o sum_n of_o that_o which_o i_o shall_v now_o report_v and_o at_o that_o time_n i_o be_v very_o far_o from_o imagine_v that_o my_o lord_n the_o earl_n of_o manchester_n

the_o loud_a cry_n of_o people_n either_o ignorant_a or_o disaffect_v to_o my_o lord_n credit_n do_v sound_n far_o and_o near_o to_o his_o dishonour_n i_o have_v resorve_v to_o take_v the_o boldness_n
