can_v ever_o yet_o bind_v he_o from_o make_v the_o most_o unjust_a encroachment_n upon_o his_o neighbour_n wherever_o he_o can_v and_o this_o be_v the_o more_o to_o be_v consider_v because_o it_o be_v very_o easy_a to_o believe_v that_o the_o popish_a clergy_n of_o england_n will_v be_v willing_a enough_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o king_n lewis_n be_v more_o able_a to_o maintain_v his_o conquest_n

that_o point_n that_o it_o be_v presumption_n in_o i_o further_o to_o undertake_v the_o defence_n of_o it_o let_v i_o only_o add_v that_o the_o late_a king_n show_v the_o most_o fix_a resolution_n
