with_o the_o manifold_a charge_n disturbance_n and_o division_n which_o have_v be_v occasion_v by_o his_o restless_a seek_v to_o accommplish_v some_o secret_a design_n of_o his_o own_o which_o i_o

at_o farnham_n be_v these_o upon_o due_a examination_n of_o his_o beginning_n and_o his_o proceed_n i_o can_v perceive_v no_o assurance_n that_o he_o intend_v to_o fortify_v it_o unless_o it_o may_v
