he_o now_o in_o his_o appeal_n seek_v to_o cajole_v they_o but_o what_o a_o business_n he_o make_v what_o word_n and_o distinction_n he_o fly_v to_o what_o inference_n he_o draw_v and_o what_o a_o

raise_v will_v not_o put_v out_o the_o people_n eye_n from_o see_v his_o good_a intention_n therein_o then_o he_o think_v the_o sit_v of_o the_o parliament_n a_o great_a way_n off_o but_o now_o he_o will_v mince_v his_o discourse_n then_o be_v then_o and_o now_o be_v now_o it_o speak_v too_o plain_a his_o conception_n of_o the_o parliament_n not_o be_v for_o his_o purpose_n but_o there_o have_v be_v enough_o speak_v of_o this_o already_o as_o to_o the_o five_o particular_a that_o he_o have_v scandalous_o represent_v the_o late_a petitioner_n and_o the_o promoter_n of_o they_o he_o will_v evade_v also_o by_o his_o own_o self_n quotation_n he_o grant_v petition_v lawful_a if_o the_o thing_n be_v simple_o good_a petition_v for_o if_o so_o sure_o the_o call_n of_o a_o parliament_n to_o
