you_o too_o doctor_n as_o i_o say_v ●_o never_o see_v the_o king_n hand_n to_o that_o former_a declaration_n which_o you_o be_v so●_n very_o willing_a shall_v pass_v for_o a_o authentic_a one_o where_o have_v you_o live_v doctor_n of_o late_a you_o use_v to_o be_v a_o man_n of_o good_a intelligence_n i_o wonder_v you_o have_v not_o hear_v that_o this_o last_o declaration_n be_v in_o the_o french_a gazette_n which_o the_o other_o declaration_n will_v questionless_a have_v be_v too_o have_v it_o be_v more_o than_o a_o unfinished_a undetermined_a scroll_n if_o you_o will_v be_v please_v to_o inquire_v the_o french_a gazette_n of_o june_n the_o 20_o the_o 1693._o i_o believe_v you_o need_v not_o put_v yourself_o to_o any_o far_a trouble_n about_o the_o reality_n of_o this_o be_v king_n james_n declaration_n but_o if_o you_o be_v still_o in_o doubt_n there_o be_v a_o astrologer_n who_o be_v a_o prisoner_n in_o the_o fleet_n and_o who_o be_v former_o of_o another_o profession_n to_o who_o you_o may_v apply_v and_o if_o he_o be_v a_o master_n in_o his_o art_n he_o will_v easy_o by_o cast_v a_o figure_n find_v that_o this_o declaration_n have_v pass_v the_o great_a seal_n at_o st._n german_n as_o well_o as_o the_o approbation_n of_o many_o of_o his_o majesty_n friend_n here_o the_o gentleman_n who_o study_v the_o star_n can_v spell_v his_o own_o name_n out_o of_o this_o little_a hint_n but_o although_o he_o fawn_v upon_o king_n james_n in_o his_o prosperity_n and_o have_v be_v a_o busy_a little_a stickler_n against_o he_o since_o his_o misfortune_n and_o have_v have_v a_o mind_n to_o have_v a_o flirt_n at_o this_o declaration_n yet_o i_o pity_v the_o hardship_n that_o gentleman_n have_v bring_v upon_o himself_o and_o wish_v at_o last_o he_o will_v mind_v his_o own_o proper_a function_n and_o not_o trouble_v himself_o any_o more_o with_o politic_n which_o god_n and_o nature_n never_o design_v for_o his_o province_n he_o will_v know_v i_o ken_v but_o

to_o the_o general_a head_n and_o now_o shall_v proceed_v to_o those_o thing_n that_o have_v not_o fall_v under_o they_o in_o look_v over_o page_n the_o 6_o the_o i_o perceive_v doctor_n you_o have_v a_o wonderful_a good_a opinion_n of_o the_o face_n of_o affair_n in_o scotland_n therefore_o if_o you_o please_v i_o will_v compare_v note_n with_o you_o my_o correspondent_o doctor_n assure_v i_o that_o your_o countryman_n be_v less_o affect_v than_o they_o be_v to_o the_o present_a government_n which_o they_o say_v appear_v by_o the_o general_a obstinacy_n against_o take_v the_o oath_n the_o episcopal_a party_n general_o and_o some_o of_o the_o presbyterian_a minister_n themselves_o refuse_v and_o those_o that_o have_v take_v the_o oath_n even_o among_o the_o presbyterian_a clergy_n have_v take_v they_o with_o such_o a_o reservation_n and_o explication_n as_o plain_o show_v that_o they_o have_v king_n william_n in_o suspicion_n and_o that_o they_o do_v desire_v to_o place_v a_o dictatorial_n power_n in_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n i_o think_v i_o have_v best_a send_v the_o explanation_n itself_o we_o do_v take_v the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n to_o king_n william_n and_o queen_n mary_n in_o so_o far_o as_o they_o defend_v our_o religion_n and_o our_o liberty_n according_a to_o the_o claim_n of_o right_n and_o their_o coronation_n oath_n i_o suppose_v you_o have_v

and_o the_o kirk_n of_o scotland_n and_o they_o demand_v and_o will_v not_o be_v satisfy_v till_o they_o have_v get_v instrument_n from_o the_o clerk_n of_o the_o commission_n who_o be_v empower_v to_o adminster_n the_o oath_n unto_o they_o that_o upon_o these_o term_n only_o they_o have_v swear_v the_o oath_n and_o sign_v the_o assurance_n now_o i_o have_v repeat_v their_o explanation_n methinks_v even_o these_o man_n have_v not_o bind_v themselves_o hand_n and_o foot_n the_o claim_n of_o right_n &_o the_o coronation_n oath_n have_v be_v &_o may_v again_o be_v break_v by_o king_n
