no_o more_o for_o herself_o than_o the_o french_a say_v for_o their_o king_n which_o yet_o she_o refuse_v to_o take_v for_o a_o answer_n perhaps_o i_o can_v parralel_v some_o of_o the_o severe_a

upon_o their_o plunder_v neighbour_n so_o that_o this_o reflection_n of_o she_o upon_o france_n be_v more_o popular_a than_o just_a from_o she_o but_o i_o beseech_v she_o to_o look_v upon_o a_o

how_o christian_n how_o equal_a how_o safe_a that_o narrow_a method_n be_v become_v she_o well_o to_o consider_v and_o methinks_v she_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v long_o about_o it_o i_o know_v she_o

of_o all_o old_a score_n and_o make_v her_o present_a court_n for_o assistance_n but_o when_o that_o word_n bulwork_n be_v examine_v i_o fear_v it_o appear_v too_o mean_a no_o more_o than_o this_o that_o she_o will_v keep_v out_o popery_n for_o that_o reason_n for_o which_o she_o apprehend_v popery_n will_v turn_v she_o out_o viz._n temporal_a interest_n but_o may_v i_o without_o offence_n ask_v she_o when_o she_o keep_v persecution_n out_o or_o if_o she_o keep_v out_o popery_n for_o any_o body_n sake_n but_o her_o own_o nay_o if_o it_o be_v not_o to_o hold_v the_o power_n she_o have_v in_o her_o hand_n that_o she_o will_v frighten_v other_o party_n now_o she_o have_v do_v her_o worst_a with_o what_o mischief_n popery_n will_v do_v they_o when_o it_o have_v power_n but_o to_o speak_v free_o can_v she_o be_v a_o bulwark_n in_o the_o case_n that_o have_v be_v bring_v the_o worst_a part_n of_o popery_n in_o these_o six_o and_o twenty_o year_n if_o persecution_n be_v so_o as_o she_o say_v it_o be_v this_o will_v be_v call_v cant_v to_o the_o world_n in_o other_o but_o i_o hear_v she_o begin_v to_o see_v her_o fault_n be_v hearty_o sorry_a for_o it_o and_o promise_n to_o do_v so_o no_o more_o and_o why_o may_v not_o popery_n be_v as_o wise_a that_o have_v also_o burn_v her_o finger_n with_o the_o same_o work_n their_o pray_v for_o ease_n by_o law_n look_v as_o if_o they_o choose_v that_o rather_o than_o power_n for_o security_n and_o if_o so_o why_o may_v not_o the_o papist_n live_v as_o well_o as_o she_o reign_v i_o be_o none_o of_o their_o advocate_n i_o be_o no_o papist_n but_o i_o will_v be_v just_a and_o merciful_a too_o however_o i_o must_v tell_v she_o that_o keep_v the_o law_n on_o foot_n by_o which_o she_o do_v the_o mischief_n be_v none_o of_o the_o plain_a evidence_n of_o her_o repentance_n they_o that_o can_v believe_v it_o have_v little_a reason_n to_o quarrel_v the_o unaccountableness_n of_o transubstantiation_n be_v it_o unjust_a in_o

or_o not_o do_v as_o she_o will_v be_v do_v by_o because_o she_o fear_v other_o will_v not_o observe_v the_o same_o rule_n to_o she_o be_v not_o this_o do_v evil_a that_o good_a may_v come_v of_o it_o and_o that_o uncertain_a too_o against_o a_o express_a command_n as_o well_o as_o common_a charity_n but_o to_o speak_v free_o whether_o we_o regard_v the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o king_n the_o
