to_o perpetuate_v the_o favour_n it_o appear_v that_o the_o secretary_n stile_n and_o the_o notary_n style_v come_v near_a one_o another_o than_o be_v general_o believe_v for_o the_o which_o here_o

to_o the_o notary_n style_v in_o some_o nauseous_a repetition_n or_o that_o he_o will_v intimate_v by_o this_o that_o all_o the_o liberty_n that_o be_v leave_v the_o subject_n be_v comprehend_v in_o this_o toleration_n and_o indeed_o after_o absolute_a power_n be_v once_o assert_v it_o be_v never_o fit_a to_o name_v liberty_n without_o some_o restriction_n after_o this_o come_v a_o stately_a

who_o be_v neither_o enemy_n to_o the_o king_n nor_o to_o these_o addresser_n and_o that_o on_o the_o contrary_n they_o be_v enemy_n to_o it_o because_o they_o be_v the_o best_a friend_n that_o both_o the_o king_n and_o the_o people_n have_v it_o be_v now_o no_o secret_a that_o though_o both_o the_o prince_n and_o princess_n of_o orange_n be_v great_a enemy_n to_o persecution_n and_o in_o

enemy_n either_o to_o the_o king_n or_o the_o people_n be_v one_o of_o the_o figure_n of_o this_o style_n that_o will_v hardly_o pass_v and_o some_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o say_v that_o the_o writer_n of_o this_o letter_n have_v with_o this_o dash_n of_o his_o pen_n declare_v more_o man_n enemy_n to_o the_o king_n than_o ever_o he_o will_v be_v able_a to_o make_v friend_n to_o he_o he_o tell_v they_o next_o that_o these_o enemy_n will_v be_v use_v all_o endeavour_n to_o infringe_v the_o same_o this_o be_v also_o a_o strong_a expression_n we_o know_v the_o use_n of_o the_o noun_n

not_o hear_v any_o of_o they_o have_v the_o least_o thought_n yet_o by_o a_o secret_a figure_n of_o the_o secretary_n stile_n perhaps_o this_o belong_v to_o all_o those_o who_o either_o think_v that_o the_o king_n can_v do_v it_o by_o law_n or_o that_o will_v not_o give_v their_o vote_n to_o confirm_v it_o in_o parliament_n but_o i_o be_o not_o so_o well_o acquaint_v with_o all_o the_o mystery_n of_o this_o style_n as_o to_o know_v its_o full_a depth_n there_o come_v next_o a_o long_a period_n of_o 50_o word_n for_o i_o be_v at_o the_o pain_n to_o count_v they_o all_o which_o seem_v a_o
