will_v call_v he_o papist_n or_o what_o he_o please_v rather_o than_o be_v ignorant_a of_o what_o he_o so_o eager_o desire_v to_o know_v and_o probable_o he_o be_v so_o inquisitive_a because_o he_o will_v suit_v his_o religion_n according_a to_o a_o prospect_n of_o the_o time_n as_o it_o be_v very_o likely_a he_o have_v often_o do_v heretofore_o which_o this_o reservedness_n of_o the_o duke_n
