every_o simple_a country-fellow_n like_o myself_o imagine_v that_o on_o the_o parliament_n side_n so_o many_o man_n of_o note_n and_o quality_n when_o they_o have_v their_o sense_n about_o they_o

do_v not_o and_o so_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o judge_n of_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o cause_n by_o the_o purse_n of_o their_o customer_n and_o true_o this_o wrought_v a_o pretty_a good_a opinion_n of_o they_o once_o even_o in_o i_o myself_o but_o when_o i_o have_v consider_v a_o little_a better_o how_o these_o man_n come_v by_o that_o money_n even_o by_o rob_v and_o plunder_v the_o king_n and_o

it_o out_o again_o by_o whole_a pound_n unto_o they_o they_o do_v but_o steal_v a_o goose_n and_o stick_v up_o a_o feather_n as_o we_o use_v to_o say_v for_o at_o last_o between_o fair_a mean_n and_o
