that_o he_o have_v be_v accessary_a to_o the_o poison_n of_o his_o father_n that_o he_o endeavour_v to_o introduce_v popery_n and_o arbitrary_a government_n to_o bring_v in_o german_a horse_n and_o

this_o author_n have_v make_v viz._n that_o before_o the_o church_n be_v secret_o practise_v upon_o by_o the_o art_n of_o her_o subtle_a adversary_n which_o by_o the_o way_n do_v not_o prevail_v

it_o be_v easy_o to_o be_v discover_v that_o her_o i._n e._n the_o church_n principle_n of_o conformity_n and_o loyalty_n be_v far_o more_o moderate_a and_o intelligible_a than_o those_o which_o

the_o present_a government_n to_o treat_v she_o with_o less_o kindness_n than_o she_o do_v expect_v as_o the_o author_n do_v suggest_v pag._n 34._o but_o here_o it_o will_v be_v demand_v what_o

by_o his_o desert_v of_o we_o and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o he_o lay_v give_v we_o up_o to_o confusion_n all_o which_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v still_o among_o we_o some_o sober_a man_n so_o
