of_o lymerick_n have_v take_v example_n thereby_o to_o affront_v and_o condemn_v his_o majesty_n authority_n place_v in_o we_o and_o from_o we_o by_o consent_n of_o the_o representative_a of_o the_o

by_o attribute_v they_o to_o some_o misunderstanding_n you_o seem_v in_o a_o manner_n to_o excuse_v they_o whereas_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o expect_v that_o suitable_a to_o your_o general_a

your_o endeavour_n where_o we_o give_v you_o particular_a undeniable_a instance_n of_o refractoriness_n and_o disobedience_n so_o there_o can_v no_o instance_n thereof_o be_v more_o pregnant_a nor_o
