1659._o the_o interest_n of_o england_n state_v to_o have_v a_o thorough_a sense_n of_o our_o present_a suffering_n and_o a_o certain_a knowledge_n of_o the_o inevitable_a ruin_n which_o our_o

of_o composute_n have_v still_o grow_v wide_o and_o passionate_a hate_n instead_o of_o be_v allay_v have_v rise_v high_a and_o be_v more_o exasperate_v but_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o real_a
