to_o this_o accusation_n as_o any_o of_o the_o present_a clergy_n his_o next_o argument_n be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n to_o maintain_v a_o army_n to_o suppress_v the_o insurrection_n of_o the_o western_a shire_n when_o the_o government_n be_v episcopal_a this_o be_v rather_o a_o threaten_a than_o a_o argument_n and_o we_o know_v very_o well_o that_o since_o ever_o that_o sect_n

to_o the_o people_n of_o their_o communion_n the_o same_o very_a doctrine_n that_o be_v propagate_v by_o the_o covenantor_n if_o they_o preach_v up_o assassination_n and_o rebellion_n as_o their_o enemy_n do_v i_o suppose_v a_o more_o considerable_a army_n will_v be_v necessary_a for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o people_n that_o adhere_v to_o the_o episcopal_a clergy_n can_v fight_v much_o better_a than_o the_o western_a covenanter_n and_o 2000_o man_n can_v keep_v these_o shire_n very_o quiet_a at_o any_o time_n but_o in_o stead_n of_o those_o lame_a topic_n which_o he_o fancy_v demonstration_n i_o think_v a_o better_a expedient_a be_v to_o put_v it_o to_o the_o poll_n of_o the_o whole_a nation_n which_o i_o know_v the_o presbyterian_o will_v never_o be_v for_o the_o author_n
