a_o letter_n out_o of_o scotland_n from_o mr._n r._n l._n s._n to_o his_o friend_n h._n b._n in_o london_n honest_a harry_n according_a to_o my_o promise_n i_o shall_v have_v write_v to_o you_o long_o since_o to_o have_v give_v you_o a_o account_n how_o square_n go_v but_o the_o grief_n and_o affright_v of_o heart_n i_o be_v in_o and_o the_o long_a and_o tedious_a journey_n have_v so_o tire_v i_o that_o i_o be_v force_v to_o lie_v a_o bed_n and_o think_v of_o my_o wicked_a fate_n and_o whilst_o i_o be_v muse_v i_o receive_v the_o skeldry_n or_o that_o damn_a picture_n of_o towser_n which_o so_o enrage_v i_o that_o it_o put_v my_o before-heated_n blood_n into_o a_o favour_n what_o rogue_n be_v these_o to_o tie_v my_o dear_a friend_n to_o my_o arse_n too_o i_o must_v confess_v they_o be_v now_o even_o with_o i_o for_o my_o jack-an-apes_n on_o horseback_n i_o know_v hal_n thou_o want_v i_o for_o i_o do_v not_o hear_v of_o any_o great_a feat_n thou_o have_v do_v since_o i_o leave_v to_o brandish_v the_o pen_n and_o i_o as_o much_o long_a to_o be_v scribble_a again_o and_o have_v a_o long_a desire_n after_o i_o have_v rest_v a_o while_n i_o have_v begin_v a_o dialogue_n between_o jockey_n and_o blew-cap_n but_o a_o friend_n of_o my_o come_n in_o make_v i_o burn_v my_o paper_n for_o he_o tell_v i_o that_o it_o will_v prove_v to_o i_o more_o fatal_a than_o citt_n and_o bumpkin_n or_o that_o between_o richard_n and_o baxter_n or_o any_o other_o dialogue_n i_o have_v ever_o write_v for_o that_o these_o plaguy_a scot_n if_o they_o but_o smell_v i_o be_v write_v of_o dialogue_n will_v knock_v out_o my_o brain_n and_o will_v never_o take_v it_o so_o patient_o as_o the_o english_a have_v do_v he_o advise_v i_o therefore_o not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o think_v of_o write_v in_o this_o place_n i_o find_v indeed_o they_o be_v a_o company_n of_o surly_a fellow_n and_o that_o they_o but_o look_v a_o squint_a at_o great_a person_n than_o myself_o i_o be_o not_o here_o know_v to_o be_v r._n they_o will_v take_v i_o then_o for_o a_o papist_n in_o masquerade_n and_o then_o i_o shall_v sure_o go_v to_o pot_n for_o they_o have_v a_o invetrate_v hatred_n against_o all_o papist_n so_o that_o i_o be_o now_o put_v on_o a_o new_a shape_n and_o appear_v like_o a_o presbyterian_a what_o a_o sad_a thing_n be_v this_o that_o i_o shall_v feign_v the_o thing_n i_o so_o much_o hate_v but_o hal_n life_n be_v sweet_a and_o though_o i_o be_o old_a i_o care_v not_o to_o leave_v this_o world_n for_o i_o know_v not_o if_o there_o be_v any_o scribble_n in_o that_o to_o come_v and_o since_o i_o be_o now_o at_o the_o worst_a pass_n except_o hang_v i_o desire_v to_o live_v to_o see_v a_o little_a more_o mischief_n well_o hal_n let_v i_o tell_v thou_o there_o be_v some_o beside_o myself_o of_o my_o mind_n and_o i_o be_o now_o scour_v up_o my_o old_a pistol_n which_o i_o must_v now_o handle_v instead_o of_o my_o pen_n we_o be_v prepare_v and_o thing_n will_v not_o always_o run_v with_o so_o smooth_a a_o stream_n we_o be_v pudle_v the_o water_n all_o we_o can_v and_o let_v the_o citt_n look_v to_o themselves_o we_o may_v chance_v to_o have_v a_o brush_n at_o their_o jackot_n those_o furious_a gentleman_n at_o westminster_n that_o go_v on_o so_o vigorous_o may_v perchance_o find_v some_o repulse_n if_o the_o interest_n and_o power_n of_o my_o master_n and_o the_o popish_a party_n be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o we_o yet_o believe_v that_o it_o will_v not_o be_v so_o easy_a a_o matter_n for_o you_o to_o put_v the_o duke_n beside_o the_o saddle_n what_o do_v you_o think_v he_o have_v no_o friend_n no_o money_n no_o interest_n nor_o ally_n to_o help_v he_o we_o be_v yet_o upon_o terra_n firma_n and_o it_o will_v not_o be_v long_o ere_o my_o master_n will_v give_v you_o a_o civil_a visit_n he_o have_v intrigue_n in_o his_o head_n and_o some_o friend_n at_o the_o helm_n who_o yet_o know_v how_o to_o steer_v for_o his_o interest_n i_o confess_v that_o my_o hope_n be_v not_o so_o very_o great_a as_o they_o have_v be_v for_o i_o do_v once_o believe_v that_o you_o shall_v not_o have_v be_v able_a to_o have_v take_v off_o any_o of_o the_o head_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o tower_n but_o i_o see_v i_o be_v mistake_v for_o one_o of_o they_o be_v take_v off_o you_o have_v drive_v furious_o like_o jeheu_fw-la impeach_v the_o judge_n and_o almost_o all_o my_o master_n secret_a friend_n on_o my_o word_n it_o be_v high_a time_n for_o he_o to_o look_v about_o he_o lest_o they_o pull_v the_o paint_a jezabell_n of_o the_o plot_n out_o of_o the_o window_n that_o the_o little_a cur_n that_o have_v worry_v she_o hitherto_o may_v lick_v she_o blood_n i_o have_v your_o peer_n speech_n too_o it_o be_v brave_a that_o any_o dare_v speak_v so_o plain_a english_a but_o this_o come_v of_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o press_n when_o i_o sit_v at_o the_o helm_n these_o thing_n never_o be_v i_o will_v have_v give_v it_o a_o squeeze_v you_o know_v my_o finger_n be_v like_o pitch_n what_o ever_o they_o lay_v hold_v of_o stick_v to_o they_o so_o fast_o they_o can_v never_o be_v get_v from_o they_o i_o tell_v thou_o that_o speech_n be_v almost_o as_o bad_a as_o the_o appeal_n a_o dangerous_a libel_n have_v i_o be_v at_o london_n i_o will_v have_v answer_v it_o but_o i_o tell_v thou_o that_o i_o have_v be_v so_o terrify_v with_o the_o inveterate_a hatred_n of_o these_o blew-cap_n against_o scribbler_n that_o i_o be_o fain_a to_o make_v they_o believe_v i_o never_o write_v in_o my_o life_n i_o dare_v not_o adventure_v to_o give_v you_o a_o visit_n though_o my_o master_n shall_v come_v and_o though_o the_o parliament_n that_o bugbear_n shall_v be_v prorogue_v for_o i_o dare_v not_o be_v see_v lest_o the_o bailiff_n shall_v seize_v i_o for_o i_o have_v not_o yet_o get_v the_o money_n i_o be_v promise_v and_o therefore_o i_o now_o write_v to_o you_o to_o certify_v my_o mind_n but_o i_o know_v my_o master_n be_v just_a to_o his_o word_n and_o i_o have_v hope_n hal_n if_o we_o thrive_v i_o shall_v requite_v your_o kindness_n i_o be_o think_v of_o some_o great_a place_n for_o thou_o i_o will_v be_v thy_o true_a and_o constant_a friend_n and_o that_o broom_n which_o be_v tie_v to_o towser_n tail_n shall_v be_v advance_v to_o thy_o crest_n ever_o hereafter_o but_o if_o we_o fail_v of_o our_o hope_n i_o can_v be_v worse_a than_o i_o be_o and_o therefore_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o hope_v a_o little_a i_o intend_v when_o i_o dare_v to_o write_v again_o to_o write_v a_o new_a history_n of_o the_o popish-presbyterian-plot_n i_o will_v licence_n it_o my_o own_o self_n and_o no_o body_n shall_v print_v it_o but_o you_o i_o will_v set_v they_o forth_o in_o their_o colour_n i_o have_v a_o excellent_a defamilory_n black_a teach_v i_o by_o a_o italian_a jesuit_n but_o yet_o i_o can_v but_o sigh_v to_o think_v of_o the_o dismal_a present_a time_n i_o be_o get_v into_o a_o cold_a country_n where_o in_o silence_n i_o often_o hear_v myself_o rail_v at_o most_o profound_o i_o be_v ask_v by_o a_o pyde-mouthed_a rogue_n the_o other_o day_n because_o i_o be_v a_o englishman_n whether_o i_o know_v r._n l._n s._n or_o
