your_o especial_a care_n some_o few_o day_n before_o i_o declare_v the_o war_n i_o put_v forth_o my_o declaration_n for_o indulgence_n to_o dissenter_n and_o have_v hitherto_o find_v a_o good_a

of_o i_o and_o of_o the_o king_n my_o father_n and_o in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o this_o indulgence_n i_o do_v not_o intend_v that_o it_o shall_v any_o way_n prejudice_n the_o church_n but_o i_o
