be_v ready_a to_o take_v fire_n from_o any_o little_a spark_n but_o while_o the_o unjust_o discontent_a and_o unreasonable_o factious_a be_v plot_v against_o the_o present_a government_n and_o form_v design_n against_o their_o majesty_n most_o sacred_a person_n it_o well_o become_v you_o gentlemen_z in_o your_o station_n to_o show_v great_a zeal_n than_o ordinary_a for_o both_o by_o like_v
