this_o that_o i_o think_v the_o nation_n be_v in_o such_o danger_n of_o popery_n and_o that_o the_o expectation_n of_o a_o popish_a successor_n as_o i_o have_v say_v in_o parliament_n put_v the_o

but_o think_v it_o better_a to_o have_v a_o king_n with_o his_o prerogative_n and_o the_o nation_n easy_a and_o safe_a under_o he_o than_o a_o king_n without_o it_o which_o must_v have_v breed_v
