the_o bad_a impression_n which_o these_o clamour_n make_v upon_o stranger_n that_o be_v ignorant_a of_o these_o transaction_n oblige_a sir_n geo._n mackenzie_n who_o have_v be_v advocate_n to_o k._n

during_o the_o reign_n of_o king_n charles_n ii_o we_o shall_v soon_o find_v that_o those_o act_n of_o the_o government_n which_o they_o tax_v with_o the_o great_a severity_n savour_n of_o nothing_o
