acclamation_n upon_o the_o news_n of_o their_o acquittal_n be_v so_o harsh_a and_o unpleasant_a in_o the_o king_n ear_n that_o from_o thence_o forward_o he_o begin_v to_o wish_v he_o have_v more_o irish_a and_o few_o english_a in_o his_o army_n but_o notwithstanding_o this_o fatal_a blow_n the_o most_o undaunted_a high_a commissioner_n drive_v on_o furious_o send_v forth_o their_o mandate_n to_o the_o chancellor_n archdeacon_n &c._n &c._n of_o the_o several_a diocese_n to_o send_v they_o a_o exact_a account_n of_o all_o such_o minister_n as_o have_v refuse_v to_o read_v the_o

of_o all_o the_o protestant_a clergy_n have_v not_o indulgent_a heaven_n put_v a_o stop_n to_o their_o impetuous_a career_n that_o which_o follow_v be_v so_o romantic_a that_o it_o look_v more_o

which_o look_v more_o romantic_a than_o all_o the_o rest_n that_o the_o king_n himself_o shall_v believe_v and_o urge_v it_o for_o a_o argument_n to_o delude_v the_o world_n that_o he_o who_o have_v

that_o as_o for_o his_o do_v as_o he_o will_v be_v do_v by_o it_o be_v apparent_a by_o all_o his_o action_n that_o he_o can_v not_o speak_v those_o word_n from_o his_o heart_n without_o some_o
