give_v any_o particular_a consent_n to_o the_o invasion_n as_o false_o swear_v against_o he_o etc._n etc._n and_o must_v say_v this_o in_o their_o behalf_n that_o the_o penman_n of_o this_o speech_n

before_o what_o other_o confession_n sir_n john_n pretend_v to_o make_v afterward_o viz._n such_o as_o that_o of_o accuse_v so_o many_o of_o the_o firm_a and_o most_o eminent_a friend_n of_o the_o

look_v more_o like_o a_o gorgon_n then_o a_o discovery_n foe_o far_o from_o any_o former_a acquaintance_n of_o the_o king_n that_o i_o suppose_v it_o never_o see_v light_n before_o sir_n john_n and_o

suppose_v be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o last_o villainous_a project_n be_v conceal_v from_o i_o in_o this_o paragraph_n he_o make_v a_o kind_n of_o mordecai_n plea_n for_o receive_v of_o mercy_n from_o king_n william_n for_o here_o he_o confess_v himself_o entrust_v with_o a_o design_n form_v against_o king_n william_n of_o no_o less_o villainy_n than_o some_o clandestine_v attempt_n upon_o the_o king_n life_n which_o he_o partly_o by_o dissuasion_n and_o partly_o by_o delay_n prevent_v and_o thereby_o as_o he_o tell_v you_o save_v the_o king_n life_n we_o must_v here_o observe_v that_o a_o person_n even_o of_o that_o great_a honour_n and_o character_n as_o sir_n john_n fenwick_n be_v nevertheless_o judge_v that_o proper_a confident_a and_o counsel-keeper_n to_o the_o ruffian_n party_n as_o to_o be_v make_v privy_a to_o so_o black_a a_o design_n as_o assassination_n itself_o nay_o it_o further_a appear_v that_o he_o tacit_o confess_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o actor_n and_o a_o leader_n in_o it_o for_o otherwise_o without_o his_o privity_n how_o can_v he_o dissuade_v or_o without_o his_o own_o actual_a lead_a hand_n or_o at_o least_o command_a power_n in_o it_o how_o can_v he_o delay_v it_o what_o truth_n or_o what_o merit_v soever_o there_o may_v be_v in_o this_o narrative_a of_o his_o secret_a service_n to_o the_o king_n i_o will_v not_o judge_v but_o if_o any_o such_o good_a service_n be_v real_o do_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o he_o have_v have_v that_o tenderness_n for_o the_o actor_n in_o it_o as_o much_o remorse_n as_o he_o say_v he_o have_v have_v for_o the_o act_n itself_o viz._n in_o prevent_v it_o that_o from_o that_o day_n to_o this_o he_o have_v whole_o conceal_v the_o plotter_n though_o at_o last_o he_o have_v declare_v the_o plot._n and_o this_o aversion_n of_o he_o to_o a_o base_a design_n he_o suppose_v be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o late_a villaous_a project_n be_v conceal_v from_o he_o very_o likely_a for_o that_o or_o other_o
