strength_n by_o sea_n that_o nature_n have_v give_v it_o the_o daily_a increase_n of_o his_o royal_a navy_n speak_v he_o to_o be_v of_o that_o opinion_n which_o cicero_n in_o epist._n ad_fw-la

he_o be_v educate_v be_v unquestionable_o evident_a in_o this_o that_o though_o it_o be_v not_o long_o since_o providence_n divine_a restore_v he_o to_o the_o throne_n of_o his_o royal_a progenitor_n yet_o have_v he_o already_o restore_v god_n to_o his_o country_n to_o god_n his_o temple_n to_o temple_n their_o sacred_a thing_n to_o sacred_a thing_n reverend_a prelate_n to_o prelate_n their_o
