parliament_n find_v themselves_o overpower_v with_o it_o rather_o than_o to_o be_v utter_o ruin_v as_o be_v unavoidable_a do_v call_v the_o scot_n to_o their_o assistance_n with_o a_o promise_n to_o

till_o his_o majesty_n happy_a restauration_n i_o must_v also_o acknowledge_v that_o i_o have_v commit_v great_a error_n in_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o time_n as_o i_o shall_v have_v do_v in_o many_o
