here_o be_v no_o intention_n discover_v of_o murder_a or_o butcher_v any_o of_o the_o king_n child_n or_o of_o any_o of_o the_o citizen_n or_o of_o any_o of_o the_o member_n of_o either_o house_n of_o

this_o it_o seem_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o contriver_n of_o this_o oath_n be_v to_o destroy_v the_o force_n raise_v by_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o to_o surprise_v the_o city_n of_o london_n
