you_o have_v choose_v two_o sheriff_n that_o be_v popish_o affect_v and_o protestant_n in_o masquerade_n well_o sir_n if_o you_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o weaken_v the_o interest_n of_o protestantism_n in_o cut_v off_o from_o you_o the_o best_a and_o great_a part_n of_o the_o nation_n by_o such_o scandalous_a character_n i_o be_o afraid_a you_o will_v afterward_o treat_v they_o again_o with_o blow_n
