why_o it_o come_v out_o with_o allowance_n rather_o than_o with_o a_o licence_n which_o be_v our_o legal_a word_n and_o three_o why_o randal_n taylor_n and_o not_o h._n h._n be_v the_o publisher_n these_o be_v small_a query_n but_o you_o know_v we_o church_n of_o england-man_n have_v be_v so_o long_o haunt_v with_o ghost_n and_o hobgoblin_n and_o wolf_n in_o sheep_n clothing_n that_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o anatomize_v all_o paper_n that_o come_v forth_o with_o allowance_n and_o if_o the_o inside_n do_v not_o answer_v the_o outside_n we_o cry_v a_o jesuit_n in_o masquerade_n and_o then_o all_o

the_o commotion_n in_o the_o next_o section_n be_v show_v in_o such_o a_o huddle_n of_o confusion_n as_o i_o know_v not_o what_o you_o mean_v only_o i_o perceive_v it_o be_v so_o express_v because_o

with_o fulsome_a declamation_n against_o the_o penal_a law_n and_o the_o test_n we_o have_v also_o hire_v some_o preacher_n to_o instruct_v the_o brethren_n in_o their_o sermon_n and_o william_n pen_n
