A41163	A brief account of some of the late incroachments and depredations of the Dutch upon the English and of a few of those many advantages which by fraud and violence they have made of the British nations since the revolution, and of the means enabling them thereunto.

to_o have_v satisfactory_o answer_v the_o first_o be_v that_o they_o will_v tell_v we_o what_o the_o meaning_n of_o a_o king_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la be_v and_o how_o such_o a_o one_o differ_v from_o

because_o he_o be_v get_v into_o possession_n of_o the_o throne_n and_o royal_a title_n and_o de_fw-fr facto_fw-la have_v assume_v the_o exercise_n of_o the_o kingly_a power_n nor_o be_o i_o

of_o understand_a reason_n or_o good_a sense_n no_o man_n can_v be_v call_v a_o king_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la who_o be_v not_o either_o antecedent_o or_o concomitant_o a_o king_n also_o de_fw-la
