and_o it_o be_v very_o remarkable_a that_o whereas_o some_o of_o the_o irish_a papist_n since_o his_o majesty_n restauration_n have_v in_o a_o remonstrance_n prepare_v for_o the_o persuade_v the_o

as_o may_v be_v esteem_v rash_a and_o giddy_a but_o it_o be_v the_o common_a doctrine_n of_o all_o the_o jesuit_n there_o and_o i_o do_v by_o all_o that_o may_v obtain_v credit_n with_o mankind_n
