when_o it_o be_v abuse_v be_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o make_v we_o very_o earnest_a and_o importunate_a in_o our_o prayer_n to_o god_n for_o king_n but_o if_o ever_o there_o be_v reason_n to_o

to_o do_v it_o we_o have_v a_o king_n who_o have_v already_o rescue_v this_o church_n and_o kingdom_n when_o their_o condition_n appear_v hopeless_a and_o desperate_a and_o certain_o have_v be_v so_o

for_o the_o restauration_n of_o the_o king_n and_o royal_a family_n and_o our_o ancient_a government_n and_o constitution_n both_o in_o church_n and_o state_n after_o the_o misery_n and_o calamity_n of_o a_o civil_a war_n and_o the_o oppression_n of_o our_o fellow-subject_n and_o those_o who_o can_v remember_v those_o day_n must_v confess_v that_o this_o be_v a_o very_a great_a mercy_n and_o though_o the_o glory_n of_o this_o day_n seem_v to_o be_v eclipse_v and_o overcast_v in_o the_o reign_n of_o the_o late_a unfortunate_a prince_n yet_o it_o break_v forth_o again_o with_o a_o new_a
