but_o here_o we_o have_v another_o testimony_n of_o king_n james_n care_n of_o the_o protestant_n in_o his_o turn_n out_o of_o all_o place_n in_o the_o army_n those_o of_o that_o persuasion_n to_o

of_o war_n as_o possible_a lest_o some_o time_n or_o other_o they_o may_v shake_v off_o their_o yoke_n by_o a_o vigorous_a rebellion_n but_o king_n james_n incline_v to_o take_v other_o measure_n

trust_v about_o his_o person_n as_o well_o as_o in_o his_o army_n to_o pass_v a_o just_a judgement_n upon_o his_o assertion_n we_o need_v only_o consider_v what_o sort_n of_o person_n be_v at_o

in_o the_o number_n i_o can_v hearty_o wish_v that_o all_o king_n james_n his_o action_n can_v as_o easy_o admit_v a_o excuse_n as_o this_o for_o the_o authority_n assume_v upon_o he_o by_o

this_o first_o paragraph_n we_o be_v tell_v that_o king_n james_n lie_v grant_v his_o royal_a protection_n to_o such_o who_o mind_n be_v shake_v by_o the_o art_n of_o his_o rebellious_a subject_n
