that_o the_o parliament_n will_v acknowledge_v their_o constancy_n in_o gratify_v their_o fidelity_n according_a to_o the_o value_n of_o the_o prize_n and_o then_o demand_v their_o resolution_n they_o

than_o i_o command_v he_o to_o silence_n say_v it_o do_v seem_v strange_a unto_o i_o that_o he_o shall_v dare_v to_o take_v the_o king_n name_n in_o his_o mouth_n in_o regard_n that_o both_o he_o

now_o on_o the_o coast_n of_o ireland_n have_v five_o small_a gun_n in_o she_o but_o the_o say_a captain_n reply_v they_o have_v a_o commission_n for_o what_o they_o have_v do_v under_o the_o hand_n
