in_o your_o sense_n who_o die_v late_o and_o have_v tell_v i_o be_v my_o very_a dear_a friend_n his_o own_o judgement_n and_o the_o parliament's_n as_o i_o now_o tell_v it_o you_o i_o have_v in_o

in_o what_o you_o say_v more_o of_o williams_n you_o still_o confute_v yourself_o for_o what_o say_v you_o but_o that_o selfish_a carnal_a motive_n do_v make_v a_o a._n b._n fight_n against_o the_o
