use_v we_o but_o this_o be_v in_o our_o favour_n for_o it_o appear_v hereby_o those_o who_o be_v their_o conqueror_n be_v our_o deliverer_n and_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a in_o this_o case_n for_o the_o

the_o irish_a let_v i_o tell_v they_o far_o no_o imaginary_a freedom_n of_o they_o can_v now_o in_o conscience_n exempt_v they_o from_o this_o subjection_n the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n the_o seed_n
