in_o their_o good_a though_o perhaps_o too_o much_o zealous_a address_n to_o his_o majesty_n and_o true_o i_o do_v see_v they_o have_v much_o reason_n to_o respect_v the_o city_n petition_n when_o

these_o late_a parliament_n look_v into_o the_o proceed_n of_o that_o at_o westminster_n and_o oxford_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o of_o the_o 513._o not_o above_o 15._o be_v the_o great_a

if_o real_o so_o will_v be_v enemy_n to_o themselves_o the_o worst_a you_o can_v say_v of_o they_o be_v that_o they_o be_v factious_o mad_a and_o fanatical_a but_o that_o they_o be_v the_o minor_a

now_o with_o a_o warrant_n against_o the_o great_a and_o the_o best_a part_n of_o the_o city_n but_o to_o leave_v that_o to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o by_o other_o tell_v i_o do_v you_o think_v it_o no_o reflection_n upon_o the_o h._n of_o c._n what_o the_o king_n have_v say_v of_o they_o in_o his_o declaration_n and_o he_o may_v sure_o say_v that_o that_o it_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o every_o
