A47869	The history of the Plot anatomised: or the late sham fanatical-plot, briefly and plainly laid open Wherein, those worthy patriots who were charged therewith, are vindicated from the malicious and false aspersions cast upon them by a late author.

that_o one_o who_o be_v engage_v in_o the_o same_o plot_n out_o of_o a_o sense_n of_o such_o unpardonable_a guilt_n that_o he_o who_o have_v receive_v such_o singular_a mark_n of_o his_o majesty_n
