without_o any_o humane_a probability_n of_o be_v supply_v from_o abroad_o i_o say_v this_o army_n shall_v never_o march_v twenty_o mile_n into_o the_o country_n for_o they_o can_v put_v themselves_o

of_o the_o purbeck_n invasion_n which_o be_v so_o private_a that_o it_o be_v see_v only_o by_o a_o old_a man_n and_o a_o boy_n and_o yet_o though_o the_o country_n think_v the_o government_n against_o

of_o the_o english_a nation_n to_o conclude_v the_o whole_a management_n of_o this_o project_n be_v ridiculous_a but_o the_o fatal_a consequence_n of_o it_o require_v deep_a thought_n for_o when_o
