a_o letter_n from_o a_o gentleman_n in_o london_n to_o his_o friend_n in_o the_o country_n on_o the_o occasion_n of_o the_o late_a trial_n of_o stephen_n college_n sir_n when_o i_o have_v the_o

strict_a prosecution_n of_o that_o damnable_a conspiracy_n but_o by_o this_o time_n and_o upon_o this_o new_a face_n of_o affair_n you_o be_v convince_v no_o doubt_n that_o they_o deserve_v not_o your_o good_a thought_n and_o hold_v their_o devilish_a practice_n in_o just_a detestation_n for_o colledg_n trial_n be_v a_o clear_a proof_n i_o wish_v it_o be_v the_o only_a one_o they_o have_v afford_v we_o that_o when_o they_o pretend_v the_o great_a loyalty_n to_o their_o prince_n it_o be_v only_o for_o a_o cloak_n to_o cover_v some_o exeorable_a design_n they_o have_v in_o hand_n they_o
