the_o head_n of_o this_o late_a conspiracy_n be_v person_n infamous_a throughout_o the_o whole_a nation_n for_o their_o immorality_n and_o debauchery_n notorious_a whoremaster_n adulterer_n drunkard_n

the_o ignorant_a and_o unwary_a such_o matter_n not_o what_o religion_n prevail_v so_o they_o can_v but_o gain_v their_o secular_a ambitious_a covetous_a or_o revengeful_a end_n now_o this_o be_v so_o

from_o their_o reputation_n and_o esteem_n who_o be_v set_v in_o high_a place_n of_o power_n and_o authority_n though_o it_o be_v real_o so_o that_o we_o be_v oppress_v or_o treat_v harsh_o by_o they_o yet_o we_o be_v not_o to_o give_v vent_n to_o our_o passion_n in_o indecent_a rail_n or_o inveigh_v against_o they_o call_v in_o scripture_n blaspheme_v or_o speak_v evil_a of_o dignity_n be_v it_o fit_a say_v elihu_n to_o job_n to_o say_v to_o a_o king_n thou_o be_v wicked_a and_o to_o prince_n you_o be_v ungodly_a it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v we_o in_o this_o city_n have_v much_o to_o

man_n may_v be_v in_o this_o plot_n and_o have_v a_o great_a hand_n in_o this_o conspiracy_n though_o they_o never_o meet_v at_o any_o of_o the_o consult_v nor_o have_v any_o particular_a part_n to_o

of_o this_o plot_n will_v fain_o iamagine_v a_o trick_n in_o it_o and_o that_o it_o be_v all_o a_o invention_n of_o the_o court_n to_o take_v away_o honest_a man_n life_n who_o can_v hearty_o wish_v
