late_a popish_a army_n many_o of_o the_o officer_n and_o soldier_n have_v secret_a order_n not_o to_o sell_v their_o horse_n but_o to_o be_v in_o a_o readiness_n for_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v

the_o catholic_n party_n for_o first_o among_o foreigner_n and_o stranger_n who_o be_v not_o acquaint_v with_o the_o depth_n of_o their_o intrigue_n it_o seem_v to_o cast_v the_o plot_n upon_o the_o

to_o bring_v we_o into_o that_o misery_n wherein_o we_o be_v immerse_v by_o so_o entire_o espouse_v the_o french_a and_o papist_n cause_n even_o almost_o to_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o

at_o our_o hand_n what_o charitable_a christian_n be_v we_o grow_v thus_o to_o return_v good_a for_o evil_n i_o must_v confess_v they_o do_v ever_o treat_v his_o r._n h._n with_o some_o respect_n as_o find_v he_o to_o retain_v more_o favourable_a inclination_n both_o towards_o their_o religion_n and_o government_n than_o his_o gracious_a majesty_n do_v who_o understanding_n and_o wit_n as_o it_o

however_o i_o can_v but_o ascribe_v great_a part_n of_o our_o present_a calamity_n to_o his_o highness_n education_n in_o that_o arbitrary_a and_o popish_a government_n with_o what_o eagerness_n have_v we_o assist_v they_o in_o their_o conquest_n even_o to_o the_o defamation_n of_o our_o own_o honour_n and_o violation_n of_o our_o public_a faith_n with_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o christendom_n we_o first_o make_v they_o a_o idol_n and_o now_o we_o worship_v it_o we_o first_o teach_v they_o the_o art_n of_o navigation_n and_o now_o be_v ready_a to_o strike_v sail_n to_o they_o ourselves_o
