for_o some_o other_o of_o a_o much_o high_a rank_n than_o he_o to_o my_o knowledge_n they_o retract_v those_o opinion_n which_o have_v give_v so_o much_o encouragement_n to_o the_o factious_a party_n

that_o whatever_o their_o condescension_n be_v they_o be_v intend_v mere_o to_o gratify_v the_o present_a weakness_n of_o such_o as_o they_o believe_v to_o be_v conscientious_a but_o not_o all_o to_o
