to_o leave_v what_o will_v you_o make_v we_o still_o believe_v that_o we_o can_v the_o truth_n from_o so_o much_o falsehood_n see_v what_o do_v you_o rule_v the_o king_n or_o he_o rule_v you_o sure_o i_o think_v the_o former_a to_o be_v true_a for_o he_o good_a man_n put_v all_o his_o trust_n in_o you_o and_o what_o you_o do_v he_o think_v must_v needs_o be_v true_a impossible_a it_o be_v he_o

suppose_v the_o king_n command_n shall_v give_v to_o do_v that_o which_o mâght_v his_o true_a subject_n grieve_v yet_o it_o have_v be_v your_o duty_n to_o have_v show_v his_o majesty_n the_o truth_n

which_o god_n people_n do_v despise_v but_o now_o i_o hope_v your_o wisdom_n will_v suppose_v your_o vice_n only_o i_o seek_v to_o disclose_v and_o by_o that_o mean_n seek_v for_o to_o amplify_v and_o
