embrace_v the_o enemy_n of_o england_n as_o their_o patron_n in_o imitation_n of_o the_o vile_a and_o ungrateful_a carriage_n of_o the_o samaritan_n to_o the_o jew_n who_o they_o own_v as_o brethren_n when_o they_o be_v in_o prosperity_n and_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o their_o assistance_n and_o protection_n but_o disclaim_v all_o kind_n of_o relation_n or_o affinity_n to_o they_o when_o they_o be_v
