to_o be_v sure_a have_v there_o be_v any_o such_o thing_n the_o nation_n ere_o this_o will_v have_v ring_v of_o it_o some_o few_o halfpenny_n scribbler_n rant_v at_o they_o and_o in_o spite_n of_o

the_o probability_n of_o the_o thing_n viz._n that_o any_o such_o conspiracy_n shall_v be_v contrive_v by_o dissenting-protestants_a the_o person_n that_o so_o think_v must_v suppose_v they_o mere_a

other_o think_v of_o they_o but_o that_o they_o very_o well_o understand_v they_o hold_v their_o life_n as_o well_o as_o their_o religion_n by_o no_o other_o tenure_n than_o his_o majesty_n life_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v their_o great_a concern_n as_o they_o tender_v all_o that_o be_v dear_a and_o near_o to_o they_o to_o preserve_v his_o person_n and_o government_n and_o defend_v both_o with_o their_o life_n and_o fortune_n and_o i_o be_o confident_a that_o the_o whole_a party_n of_o the_o dissenter_n though_o in_o some_o little_a thing_n differ_v from_o each_o other_o will_v universal_o and_o uniformly_n agree_v to_o sacrifice_v their_o all_o in_o his_o majesty_n service_n against_o any_o power_n whatsoever_o that_o shall_v oppose_v he_o the_o universal_a experience_n of_o unbiased_a mankind_n can_v witness_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o be_v here_o say_v yet_o i_o know_v very_o well_o what_o objection_n have_v be_v and_o will_v be_v make_v from_o that_o dismal_a

protestant-subject_n his_o majesty_n intend_v namely_o the_o dissenter_n have_v cheerful_o give_v their_o assistance_n to_o the_o support_n of_o the_o government_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o they_o be_v a_o industrious_a trade_n people_n that_o willing_o pay_v whatsoever_o tax_n the_o law_n require_v and_o it_o be_v remarkable_a that_o no_o people_n ever_o express_v a_o great_a zeal_n to_o oppose_v the_o various_a attaque_n of_o a_o foreign_a anti-spiritual_a power_n than_o these_o dissenter_n and_o can_v i_o know_v any_o one_o of_o they_o that_o will_v shrink_v from_o his_o
