frequent_a witness_n in_o england_n and_o all_o the_o world_n know_v he_o ever_o show_v himself_o otherwise_o and_o therefore_o hold_v it_o to_o be_v my_o part_n and_o duty_n to_o tell_v they_o that_o his_o majesty_n be_v the_o most_o faithful_a and_o best_a defender_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n of_o any_o christian_a prince_n in_o europe_n and_o be_v so_o account_v by_o all_o the_o

to_o see_v his_o majesty_n enter_v london_n in_o peace_n without_o shed_v one_o drop_n of_o blood_n where_o i_o dare_v say_v god_n and_o his_o majesty_n be_v witness_n i_o lie_v not_o no_o citizen_n

though_o god_n be_v the_o most_o supreme_a and_o immediate_a yet_o there_o may_v be_v some_o mediate_a and_o adjacent_a cause_n since_o the_o barbarous_a inhumanity_n of_o prince_n rupert_n trooper_n may_v give_v a_o sharp_a edge_n to_o the_o sword_n and_o courage_n of_o our_o man_n that_o have_v deep_o imprint_v in_o their_o mind_n the_o cry_n and_o voice_n of_o the_o common_a people_n against_o
