to_o your_o royal_a race_n as_o the_o most_o ancient_a monarchy_n which_o we_o know_v but_o find_v that_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o secure_v this_o precedency_n to_o the_o royal_a family_n against_o those_o consequence_n which_o necessary_o arise_v from_o his_o position_n i_o think_v it_o my_o duty_n at_o that_o time_n to_o answer_v his_o lordship_n book_n as_o i_o do_v now_o dr._n stillingfleet_n especial_o since_o they_o in_o overturning_a the_o ancient_a settlement_n of_o the_o royal_a line_n in_o scotland_n destroy_v one_o of_o the_o great_a foundation_n whereby_o your_o

the_o author_n innocent_a of_o any_o ill_a design_n as_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v they_o be_v and_o to_o convince_v they_o how_o impartial_a i_o be_o upon_o any_o national_a account_n i_o beg_v

the_o satisfaction_n of_o all_o indifferent_a man_n refute_v our_o own_o historian_n in_o that_o point_n as_o i_o hope_v i_o do_v now_o these_o gentleman_n in_o the_o point_v controvert_v scarce_o
