that_o will_v make_v two_o witness_n to_o prove_v the_o treason_n because_o i_o will_v explain_v my_o mind_n not_o long_o ago_o all_o the_o judge_n of_o england_n be_v command_v to_o meet_v together_o

of_o a_o man_n when_o tarquin_n have_v turn_v the_o legal_a monarchy_n of_o rome_n into_o a_o most_o abominable_a tyranny_n why_o shall_v they_o not_o abolish_v it_o and_o when_o the_o protestant_n

unless_o they_o have_v to_o please_v he_o renounce_v god_n and_o their_o religion_n our_o author_n may_v say_v they_o ought_v to_o have_v suffer_v the_o king_n of_o spain_n by_o their_o resistance_n
