of_o scotland_n be_v as_o much_o accountable_a to_o the_o state_n of_o that_o nation_n as_o the_o dutch_a stadtholder_n be_v to_o the_o state_n of_o holland_n the_o 2_o d_o reason_n we_o have_v to_o suspect_v the_o influence_n of_o dutch_a council_n in_o this_o affair_n be_v this_o that_o it_o be_v their_o interest_n to_o keep_v we_o and_o the_o english_a from_o unite_n and_o if_o possible_a of_o
