some_o divine_a of_o good_a reputation_n and_o learning_n and_o of_o the_o late_a king_n party_n a._n i_o think_v i_o can_v recommend_v unto_o you_o the_o best_a that_o be_v extant_a and_o such_o a_o

to_o himself_o and_o to_o his_o neighbour_n in_o his_o duty_n to_o god_n he_o put_v the_o acknowledgement_n of_o he_o in_o his_o essence_n and_o his_o attribute_n and_o in_o the_o believe_v of_o his_o
