man_n of_o the_o most_o honesty_n and_o judgement_n can_v by_o no_o mean_n give_v way_n to_o any_o such_o expectation_n but_o rather_o conceive_v nay_o fear_v that_o the_o drift_n of_o a_o personal_a treaty_n be_v one_o of_o the_o design_n of_o the_o old_a serpent_n among_o we_o and_o that_o which_o if_o obtain_v be_v mere_o to_o put_v the_o king_n in_o a_o capacity_n to_o ast_n for_o himself_o or_o in_o case_n that_o fail_v to_o make_v way_n for_o his_o escape_n and_o very_o sir_n if_o you_o thorough_o consider_v it_o the_o former_a be_v not_o whole_o free_a from_o jealousy_n eor_fw-la if_o

stick_v not_o to_o say_v that_o if_o they_o once_o come_v to_o a_o treaty_n they_o have_v do_v the_o business_n and_o that_o they_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o look_v he_o in_o the_o face_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v stand_v for_o our_o law_n and_o liberty_n be_v so_o great_a and_o unpardonable_a a_o error_n but_o indeed_o we_o have_v just_o cause_n to_o fear_v a_o escape_n for_o not_o to_o mention_v the_o old_a attempt_n the_o engine_n whereof_o shall_v have_v be_v those_o base_a and_o unworthy_a fellow_n osborn_n and_o dowcet_n who_o think_v by_o the_o false_a translation_n of_o the_o
