that_o the_o difficulty_n of_o get_v of_o it_o print_a be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o come_v abroad_o so_o late_o as_o such_o a_o book_n can_v be_v write_v in_o a_o day_n so_o you_o must_v needs_o

you_o have_v take_v the_o new_a oath_n in_o some_o sense_n or_o upon_o some_o principle_n which_o in_o your_o own_o conscience_n you_o do_v believe_v consistent_a with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o

you_o have_v take_v the_o oath_n you_o ought_v to_o have_v forbear_v such_o unjustifiable_a reflection_n as_o you_o have_v make_v upon_o that_o author_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n and_o not_o have_v
