of_o other_o nation_n who_o in_o friendship_n i_o will_v not_o now_o name_n and_o as_o to_o the_o instance_n bring_v from_o our_o history_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o people_n depose_v king_n that_o

that_o i_o think_v the_o doctor_n shall_v have_v suppress_v that_o undutiful_a disrespectful_a part_n of_o his_o debate_n against_o our_o historian_n who_o deserve_v much_o less_o to_o be_v tax_v

he_o owe_v so_o much_o service_n to_o so_o worthy_a 72._o and_o excellent_a a_o friend_n as_o the_o bishop_n of_o st._n asaph_n for_o though_o he_o add_v that_o if_o my_o argument_n will_v hold_v
