can_v very_o well_o comply_v with_o the_o equal_a and_o hereditary_a monarchy_n of_o england_n i_o never_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o the_o word_n monarchy_n nor_o design_v to_o interrupt_v the_o

affirm_v though_o we_o ought_v always_o to_o have_v expect_v term_n from_o king_n james_n or_o have_v send_v they_o to_o he_o we_o ought_v not_o though_o i_o will_v have_v good_a one_o even_o now_o to_o make_v such_o as_o will_v make_v he_o just_o uneasy_a so_o unreasonable_a one_o as_o will_v be_v unfit_a for_o he_o to_o grant_v we_o must_v deal_v impartial_o if_o we_o will_v ever_o compose_v

we_o may_v be_v the_o better_a for_o our_o tribulation_n if_o we_o once_o accommodate_v our_o dispute_n i_o never_o flatter_v the_o king_n i_o have_v speak_v plain_a to_o he_o than_o i_o write_v now_o and_o i_o believe_v i_o be_o not_o the_o less_o acceptable_a to_o he_o for_o my_o plainness_n and_o as_o to_o any_o objection_n and_o scruple_n that_o may_v be_v raise_v by_o a_o declaration_n that_o
