sir_n though_o the_o sacred_a majesty_n of_o king_n i_o be_o sensible_a ought_v not_o in_o common_a case_n to_o be_v approach_v by_o every_o little_a busy-body_n or_o frivolous_a remonstrance-maker_n yet_o when_o our_o prince_n palace_n be_v on_o fire_n and_o his_o sacred_a person_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o flame_n the_o mean_a of_o his_o subject_n have_v the_o privilege_n then_o to_o give_v he_o warning_n of_o his_o danger_n and_o to_o assist_v to_o quench_v the_o fire_n and_o this_o i_o be_o afraid_a sir_n be_v at_o present_a too_o near_o our_o case_n or_o i_o will_v not_o have_v assume_v the_o boldness_n to_o disturb_v your_o repose_n or_o have_v place_v myself_o so_o disadvantagious_o before_o your_o majesty_n as_o i_o must_v expect_v to_o appear_v under_o the_o character_n of_o a_o

that_o the_o principal_a occasion_n of_o our_o misfortune_n or_o rather_o mismanagement_n be_v from_o the_o entrust_v those_o with_o the_o government_n of_o all_o who_o be_v the_o creature_n and_o

ii_o how_o they_o do_v support_v their_o government_n so_o long_o when_o all_o the_o nobility_n gentry_n and_o clergy_n be_v against_o it_o he_o reply_v by_o entrust_v those_o only_a in_o the_o

a_o great_a part_n of_o all_o these_o several_a degree_n of_o man_n who_o be_v most_o hearty_o and_o zealous_o in_o your_o interest_n but_o i_o mean_v by_o this_o that_o you_o be_v to_o oppose_v your_o enemy_n with_o their_o enemy_n not_o with_o their_o friend_n and_o that_o the_o design_n of_o keep_v out_o king_n james_n with_o jacobite_n seem_v to_o be_v as_o impracticable_a as_o his_o

with_o the_o destructive_a politic_n of_o court_v and_o buy_v your_o enemy_n into_o your_o service_n and_o will_v persuade_v you_o that_o king_n james_n tory_n be_v the_o only_a party_n true_o
