why_o sir_n if_o you_o please_v to_o inform_v i_o how_o many_o day_n in_o february_n shall_v be_v clear_a and_o how_o many_o shall_v be_v cloudy_a i_o will_v fall_v a_o guess_v how_o many_o in_o the_o

courtier_n have_v a_o odd_a way_n of_o keep_v these_o malcontent_n in_o hope_n till_o they_o fall_v off_o or_o gain_v what_o they_o desire_v and_o so_o if_o there_o shall_v happen_v to_o be_v a_o thousand_o of_o they_o they_o will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o shock_v the_o government_n if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o cause_n of_o discontent_n than_o that_o well_o but_o here_o duty_n and_o discontent_n will_v mix_v because_o they_o be_v sensible_a of_o their_o mistake_n when_o it_o be_v too_o late_o for_o as_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v fight_v for_o popery_n nor_o against_o the_o law_n and_o liberty_n of_o their_o country_n so_o neither_o ought_v they_o to_o have_v desert_v the_o defence_n of_o the_o king_n person_n and_o crown_n but_o have_v bring_v the_o prince_n to_o term_n as_o well_o as_o the_o king_n why_o sir_n nemo_fw-la tenetur_fw-la ad_fw-la impossibilia_fw-la the_o king_n be_v never_o bring_v to_o term_n nor_o perhaps_o never_o will_v so_o that_o if_o they_o have_v fight_v at_o all_o it_o must_v have_v be_v for_o popery_n and_o against_o both_o our_o law_n and_o liberty_n sir_n show_v when_o and_o where_o the_o king_n offer_v we_o or_o the_o prince_n any_o term_n and_o i_o will_v pass_v my_o word_n you_o shall_v be_v employ_v to_o frame_v law_n for_o the_o convention_n which_o be_v certain_o a_o good_a employ_v for_o one_o that_o be_v so_o

in_o a_o war_n too_o tax_n must_v be_v pay_v yea_o heavy_a tax_n to_o support_v the_o charge_n of_o it_o or_o lovis_z will_v in_o a_o short_a time_n teach_v we_o what_o the_o prince_n expedition_n
