the_o doctor_n be_v not_o aware_a of_o what_o question_n may_v be_v raise_v upon_o these_o bold_a assertion_n as_o 1._o whether_o or_o not_o the_o majority_n both_o of_o the_o clergy_n and_o laity_n of_o his_o church_n do_v not_o comply_v with_o charles_n the_o first_o be_v enemy_n when_o the_o king_n be_v no_o long_o able_a to_o protect_v they_o 2._o whether_o the_o presbyterian_o be_v not_o the_o man_n who_o stickle_v most_o against_o oliver_n for_o save_v the_o king_n life_n and_o interest_n as_o can_v be_v evidence_v by_o the_o petition_n and_o behaviour_n of_o the_o city_n of_o

ever_o the_o like_a occasion_n return_v perhaps_o the_o doctor_n may_v rejoin_v that_o if_o k._n james_n have_v be_v cut_v off_o they_o will_v not_o have_v let_v he_o perish_v unattended_a but_o they_o do_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o abdicate_v with_o he_o but_o the_o answer_n be_v easy_a he_o that_o will_v be_v faithful_a in_o a_o little_a will_v never_o be_v faithful_a in_o much_o and_o to_o

even_o have_v have_v leave_n to_o perish_v unattended_a as_o well_o as_o his_o son_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v best_o for_o the_o doctor_n to_o save_v his_o breath_n and_o not_o brag_v so_o much_o of_o his_o church_n loyalty_n to_o the_o martyr_n they_o cut_v off_o his_o grandmother_n because_o they_o be_v afraid_a that_o she_o will_v be_v their_o enemy_n and_o they_o drive_v his_o son_n from_o
