part_n of_o five_o of_o they_o be_v faithful_a to_o his_o late_a majesty_n whilst_o such_o a_o number_n of_o english_a be_v up_o against_o he_o if_o then_o gentleness_n &_o interest_n can_v

they_o think_v it_o will_v for_o ever_o distract_v &_o disquiet_v the_o nation_n to_o permit_v new_a doctrine_n &_o in_o short_a that_o they_o proceed_v according_a to_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la &_o
