sufficient_a to_o remove_v the_o grand_a scruple_n about_o the_o oath_n if_o the_o dissatisfied_a party_n accuse_v the_o convention_n for_o make_v the_o prince_n of_o orange_n king_n it_o be_v not_o

contract_n between_o prince_n and_o people_n ground_v upon_o the_o foundation_n of_o all_o original_a government_n i_o say_v it_o be_v that_o adhere_n to_o evil_a counsel_n which_o depose_v a_o
