and_o other_o now_o how_o this_o discourse_n of_o our_o doctor_n agree_v with_o his_o purpose_n all_o this_o while_n pretend_v here_o i_o can_v see_v for_o it_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o

of_o a_o jesuitical_a party_n and_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n the_o society_n of_o jesuit_n a_o religious_a grave_n prudent_a family_n in_o the_o catholic_n church_n of_o god_n this_o i_o have_v

the_o doctor_n pretend_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o church_n and_o her_o religion_n though_o indeed_o he_o have_v never_o come_v near_o it_o yet_o but_o now_o he_o speak_v that_o which_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o sound_n of_o it_o a_o jesuitical_a party_n and_o a_o court_n what_o be_v these_o to_o our_o purpose_n now_o in_o hand_n there_o be_v party_n and_o as_o many_o design_n sign_n
