deliverance_n be_v great_a in_o respect_n of_o that_o dreadful_a danger_n which_o do_v attend_v we_o and_o be_v so_o near_o we_o four_o our_o deliverance_n be_v great_a in_o respect_n of_o its_o

deliver_v i_o mean_v the_o french_a king_n and_o his_o myrmidon_n his_o priest_n and_o jesuit_n his_o trooper_n and_o dragoon_n those_o his_o late_a reformer_n of_o religion_n who_o have_v not_o one_o strong_a argument_n against_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o church_n save_v only_o that_o which_o hang_v by_o their_o side_n i_o mean_v their_o sword_n and_o pistol_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o the_o french_a king_n be_v a_o potent_a monarch_n his_o dominion_n be_v large_a his_o kingdom_n be_v rich_a his_o people_n be_v numerous_a his_o army_n great_a his_o fleet_n considerable_a and_o though_o he_o may_v have_v lose_v the_o affection_n of_o his_o subject_n yet_o still_o have_v he_o a_o absolute_a command_n over_o their_o person_n and_o purse_n but_o all_o this_o greatness_n can_v satisfy_v this_o proud_a and_o ambitious_a king_n his_o design_n be_v to_o make_v himself_o the_o sole_a emperor_n of_o the_o west_n and_o because_o our_o present_a king_n by_o his_o extraordinary_a courage_n and_o conduct_n stand_v most_o in_o the_o french_a king_n way_n since_o his_o army_n have_v not_o the_o luck_n to_o kill_v he_o fair_o in_o the_o field_n the_o report_n be_v that_o the_o

that_o so_o much_o as_o one_o thought_n of_o such_o a_o vile_a and_o treacherous_a act_n shall_v have_v enter_v into_o a_o crown_a head_n but_o it_o be_v much_o more_o strange_a that_o it_o shall_v

for_o a_o king_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o style_n himself_o the_o most_o christian_n king_n and_o stand_v so_o much_o upon_o his_o honour_n for_o he_o to_o sit_v down_o consult_v and_o contrive_v
