give_v i_o leave_v to_o make_v one_o observation_n more_o of_o my_o own_o knowledge_n which_o be_v that_o sir_n john_n fenwick_n have_v often_o in_o my_o company_n exclaim_v against_o the_o person_n

any_o of_o those_o that_o sign_v the_o address_n with_o he_o how_o sir_n john_n be_v prevail_v on_o to_o be_v guilty_a of_o so_o great_a a_o piece_n of_o folly_n god_n know_v only_o i_o must_v beg_v his_o leave_n with_o other_o to_o believe_v it_o a_o action_n very_o much_o unbecoming_a a_o person_n of_o his_o rank_n much_o less_o a_o christian_n in_o his_o circumstance_n and_o one_o that_o have_v so_o long_o owe_v his_o life_n to_o the_o great_a clemency_n of_o the_o present_a government_n i_o hope_v he_o will_v consider_v it_o himself_o and_o remember_v what_o he_o be_v may_v before_o it_o be_v too_o late_o discharge_v his_o conscience_n faithful_o towards_o god_n king_n william_n and_o his_o native_a country_n for_o i_o presume_v there_o be_v little_a comfort_n in_o die_v for_o

for_o it_o as_o they_o have_v often_o be_v on_o the_o same_o account_n i_o presume_v the_o late_a king_n desire_n of_o the_o death_n of_o such_o be_v not_o mere_o to_o increase_v the_o number_n of_o his_o friend_n in_o heaven_n that_o be_v impossible_a for_o king_n james_n that_o believe_v all_o protestant_n be_v damn_v can_v so_o much_o after_o their_o death_n as_o have_v one_o twelve-penny_n mass_n say_v for_o their_o soul_n therefore_o if_o king_n james_n have_v any_o remorse_n it_o must_v be_v the_o subject_a of_o many_o confession_n and_o cause_n of_o much_o sorrow_n to_o think_v as_o his_o faith_n oblige_v he_o how_o many_o soul_n be_v go_v to_o hell_n by_o his_o engagement_n in_o a_o very_a bad_a cause_n i_o hope_v and_o pray_v that_o no_o true_a englishman_n though_o never_o so_o much_o engage_v in_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o present_a government_n will_v presume_v to_o judge_v so_o uncharitable_o of_o any_o of_o our_o great_a enemy_n that_o have_v die_v most_o just_o
