except_v as_o have_v their_o hand_n in_o murder_a english_a than_o that_o a_o few_o presbyterian_a and_o fanatic_a up-starts_a be_v make_v great_a by_o other_o man_n estate_n and_o the_o whole_a

as_o conscience_n in_o my_o lord_n clarendon_n and_o his_o covetous_a partner_n settlement_n of_o ireland_n yet_o i_o must_v confess_v this_o domestic_a affair_n agree_v well_o with_o his_o policy_n in_o foreign_a negotiation_n until_o his_o time_n the_o statesman_n of_o europe_n particular_o the_o english_a make_v it_o their_o business_n to_o keep_v the_o scale_n equal_a between_o france_n and_o

a_o peace_n between_o spain_n and_o portugal_n no_o part_n of_o europe_n that_o be_v worth_a the_o covet_v can_v be_v free_a from_o the_o french_a command_n i_o hope_v that_o as_o god_n have_v
