and_o in_o plain_a honest_a love_n to_o our_o gracious_a king_n william_n and_o good_a old_a english_a interest_n and_o to_o honesty_n and_o policy_n i_o will_v declare_v my_o opinion_n faithful_o that_o if_o there_o be_v not_o wise_a or_o honest_a tool_n to_o be_v find_v in_o england_n than_o those_o who_o on_o the_o one_o hand_n help_v to_o ruin_n or_o have_v help_v to_o ruin_n so_o many_o

or_o ten_o ship_n to_o secure_v they_o home_o to_o france_n i_o say_v in_o short_a if_o there_o be_v not_o better_a tool_n god_n almighty_n know_v when_o there_o will_v be_v better_a work_n for_o our_o case_n be_v like_a to_o be_v sad_a and_o i_o will_v say_v as_o christ_n do_v to_o the_o pharisee_n concern_v st._n john_n baptist_n ministry_n though_o in_o another_o case_n if_o our_o loss_n be_v from_o heaven_n they_o be_v dreadful_a and_o if_o from_o ●…en_n they_o be_v shameful_a and_o scandalous_a and_o ruine_v and_o miserable_a and_o if_o as_o st._n paul_n say_v a_o little_a leaven_n
