a_o letter_n in_o answer_n to_o a_o friend_n upon_o notice_n of_o a_o book_n entitle_v a_o short_a view_n of_o the_o late_a trouble_n in_o england_n wherein_o in_o the_o viii_o the_o chapter_n the_o

be_v correct_v the_o author_n endeavour_v to_o make_v the_o grand_a conspirator_n in_o the_o long_a parliament_n 41._o a_o great_a occasion_n of_o the_o irish_a insurrection_n though_o not_o of_o their_o counsel_n and_o contrivance_n i_o have_v nothing_o to_o plead_v for_o those_o conspirator_n the_o event_n of_o their_o counsel_n be_v shame_n and_o confusion_n but_o there_o be_v those_o alive_a write_v a_o illustrious_a person_n that_o know_v how_o far_o at_o first_o their_z soul_n abhor_v what_o afterward_o neither_o policy_n or_o power_n can_v restrain_v when_o as_o his_o majesty_n

charge_v on_o those_o of_o the_o irish_a profession_n in_o england_n to_o be_v mere_a forgery_n whence_o the_o irish_a take_v a_o suspicion_n lest_o they_o too_o shall_v be_v debar_v of_o a_o
