this_o so_o powerful_a prince_n as_o certain_o it_o will_v if_o he_o design_v the_o least_o alteration_n of_o government_n or_o any_o injury_n to_o the_o crown_n much_o more_o to_o the_o person_n of_o

many_o witness_n have_v aver_v to_o be_v his_o own_o no_o man_n can_v condemn_v the_o prince_n of_o o._n for_o doubt_v it_o since_o it_o concern_v himself_o and_o especial_o his_o consort_n so_o

to_o their_o doubt_n so_o that_o we_o can_v tell_v how_o far_o the_o prince_n now_o may_v be_v satisfy_v himself_o or_o a_o parliament_n think_v it_o satisfactory_a since_o so_o much_o have_v be_v do_v of_o late_a in_o the_o council_n chamber_n as_o may_v perhaps_o give_v the_o great_a council_n of_o the_o nation_n much_o of_o satisfaction_n and_o they_o that_o stand_v up_o so_o stout_o for_o
