some_o that_o have_v raise_v the_o loud_a clamour_n have_v be_v discontent_v on_o some_o occasion_n or_o other_o and_o do_v it_o only_o to_o be_v revenge_v on_o the_o government_n some_o intend_v to_o

prudence_n can_v invent_v when_o there_o be_v a_o bless_a harmony_n and_o agreement_n between_o the_o head_n and_o the_o member_n so_o it_o be_v the_o most_o unfortunate_a and_o deplorable_a of_o all_o when_o such_o misunderstanding_n arise_v as_o can_v be_v speedy_o reconcile_v these_o will_v beget_v a_o perpetual_a struggle_n and_o very_o dangerous_a convulsion_n in_o the_o state_n jealousy_n will_v be_v increase_v and_o these_o will_v give_v a_o check_n to_o the_o most_o material_a debate_n that_o they_o will_v hardly_o be_v bring_v to_o any_o good_a issue_n when_o a_o

of_o their_o prince_n act_n as_o they_o shall_v in_o duty_n do_v will_v be_v too_o apt_a many_o time_n to_o sow_v their_o own_o private_a discontent_n all_o the_o country_n over_o and_o the_o

which_o will_v soon_o discover_v themselves_o in_o word_n or_o action_n and_o then_o the_o king_n can_v be_v secure_a of_o their_o obedience_n but_o will_v be_v force_v to_o have_v a_o watchful_a
