time_n at_o copthall_n as_o much_o as_o my_o lord_n of_o london_n and_o my_o memory_n can_v serve_v we_o to_o do_v it_o but_o one_o thing_n far_o i_o must_v observe_v as_o very_o remarkable_a in_o this_o affair_n that_o if_o the_o exact_a time_n of_o this_o our_o address_n to_o king_n james_n at_o whitehall_n shall_v be_v compare_v with_o the_o day_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n his_o

declaration_n be_v sign_v there_o on_o the_o ten_o of_o october_n which_o consider_v the_o two_o style_n make_v little_a or_o no_o difference_n and_o if_o i_o may_v presume_v to_o compare_v small_a thing_n with_o great_a in_o the_o matter_n of_o they_o as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o date_n i_o will_v venture_v to_o say_v that_o most_o of_o the_o very_a same_o grievance_n which_o his_o highness_n insist_v on_o in_o his_o declaration_n except_o one_o or_o two_o that_o be_v too_o high_a for_o we_o subject_n to_o meddle_v with_o be_v so_o early_o represent_v by_o we_o to_o the_o king_n in_o that_o petition_n as_o thing_n necessary_a to_o be_v speedy_o redress_v and_o my_o lord_n i_o can_v but_o add_v that_o this_o we_o do_v in_o a_o time_n when_o the_o king_n think_v of_o nothing_o less_o than_o victory_n when_o in_o all_o humane_a probability_n he_o be_v the_o strong_a both_o by_o sea_n and_o land_n when_o as_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o appearance_n of_o such_o a_o prodigious_a alienation_n of_o his_o subject_n affection_n when_o at_o least_o his_o army_n be_v think_v to_o be_v still_o firm_a to_o he_o when_o the_o very_a wind_n and_o sea_n seem_v hitherto_o as_o much_o on_o his_o side_n as_o they_o all_o afterward_o turn_v against_o he_o after_o that_o my_o lord_n as_o i_o remember_v the_o next_o solemn_a time_n of_o our_o wait_v on_o king_n james_n the_o second_o be_v
