and_o a_o fit_a respect_n to_o the_o lesser_a wheel_n that_o then_o all_o will_v move_v with_o quiet_a and_o order_n and_o the_o work_n will_v be_v as_o glorious_a and_o useful_a as_o ever_o it_o be_v

to_o secure_v his_o life_n and_o monarchy_n if_o this_o be_v the_o case_n of_o prince_n god_n have_v mercy_n upon_o poor_a king_n who_o must_v be_v so_o tyrannical_o restrain_v as_o not_o to_o be_v

be_v absolute_o impossible_a that_o a_o loyal_a parliament_n shall_v be_v choose_v but_o that_o most_o of_o the_o member_n who_o be_v to_o be_v return_v shall_v only_o serve_v as_o the_o factious_a

of_o a_o fanatick-commonwealth_n or_o usurper_n of_o who_o tyranny_n we_o have_v feel_v too_o much_o already_o indeed_o if_o the_o abuse_a countryman_n can_v be_v bring_v to_o their_o right_a
