any_o just_a umpire_n will_v attribute_v to_o their_o virtue_n but_o that_o which_o i_o most_o wonder_n at_o in_o your_o judgement_n be_v that_o so_o preposterous_o you_o condemn_v the_o society_n of_o ambition_n whereas_o the_o father_n of_o the_o society_n with_o a_o constant_a submission_n have_v ever_o refuse_v all_o honour_n and_o preferment_n as_o well_o ecclesiastical_a as_o political_n
