the_o grand_a inquest_n or_o a_o full_a and_o perfect_a answer_n to_o several_a reason_n by_o which_o it_o be_v pretend_v his_o royal_a highness_n the_o duke_n of_o york_n may_v be_v prove_v to_o be_v

see_v the_o malice_n and_o rage_n of_o some_o seditious_a person_n who_o by_o load_v the_o duke_n with_o scandalous_a aspersion_n endeavour_v to_o lessen_v his_o esteem_n with_o the_o king_n and_o if_o that_o will_v not_o do_v to_o brand_v his_o reputation_n in_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o credulous_a multitude_n that_o they_o may_v the_o soon_o introduce_v their_o own_o maxim_n into_o the_o

and_o kindness_n the_o parliament_n will_v not_o reach_v he_o with_o a_o oath_n of_o which_o they_o know_v he_o have_v no_o need_n but_o only_o inquire_v into_o themselves_o to_o find_v out_o who_o

though_o a_o papist_n when_o the_o word_n of_o the_o proviso_n will_v bear_v no_o such_o construction_n but_o rather_o value_v he_o as_o a_o person_n of_o that_o honour_n and_o generosity_n that_o they_o can_v do_v no_o less_o than_o distinguish_v he_o from_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o majesty_n subject_n especial_o since_o he_o be_v so_o near_o relate_v to_o the_o crown_n have_v so_o well_o

march_n in_o the_o one_o and_o thirty_o year_n of_o his_o reign_n do_v give_v for_o a_o reason_n to_o the_o parliament_n why_o he_o send_v his_o brother_n out_o of_o england_n because_o he_o will_v leave_v no_o man_n room_n to_o say_v that_o he_o have_v not_o remove_v all_o cause_n which_o may_v influence_n he_o to_o popish_a counsel_n answer_v 3_o this_o reason_n be_v not_o strong_a enough_o to_o make_v any_o person_n suspect_v the_o duke_n to_o be_v a_o roman_n catholic_n for_o when_o his_o majesty_n do_v compliment_v his_o parliament_n and_o have_v acquaint_v they_o with_o what_o
