people_n judge_n they_o can_v not_o prove_v we_o either_o wicked_a dangerous_a seditious_a nor_o sectary_n neither_o have_v the_o effect_n of_o our_o meeting_n ever_o at_o any_o time_n tend_v to_o

and_o thereupon_o be_v soon_o send_v back_o to_o prison_n again_o the_o rest_n of_o we_o be_v twenty_o two_o in_o number_n know_v ourselves_o to_o be_v most_o false_o charge_v be_v free_a to_o join_v
