i_o here_o declare_v once_o for_o all_o i_o no_o more_o envy_n holland_n its_o government_n than_o i_o do_v france_n and_o i_o prefer_v our_o constitution_n before_o any_o other_o whatever_o i_o know_v nothing_o wherein_o it_o be_v so_o defective_a as_o in_o the_o argument_n before_o we_o and_o if_o navigation_n be_v more_o encourage_v no_o way_n apprehend_v how_o the_o royal_a prerogative_n will_v be_v invade_v by_o it_o any_o more_o than_o the_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n or_o liberty_n of_o the_o people_n nor_o will_v it_o be_v expect_v that_o a_o monarchy_n abound_v in_o
