this_o paper_n all_o that_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o leave_v behind_o i_o no_o doubt_n but_o his_o lordship_n have_v a_o due_a regard_n to_o his_o cause_n and_o those_o that_o be_v to_o continue_v it_o and_o therefore_o think_v it_o not_o fit_a to_o leave_v any_o thing_n behind_o he_o that_o may_v discover_v either_o of_o they_o but_o to_o wrap_v it_o up_o in_o such_o ambiguous_a term_n as_o may_v

he_o be_v resolve_v to_o wrong_v his_o soul_n rather_o than_o his_o party_n by_o discover_v they_o his_o lordship_n proceed_v and_o say_v god_n know_v how_o far_o i_o be_v always_o from_o design_n

soon_o as_o he_o have_v begin_v it_o to_o my_o knowledge_n i_o never_o see_v captain_n walcot_n in_o my_o life_n that_o may_v be_v and_o yet_o both_o deep_a in_o the_o plot_n too_o according_a to_o

such_o horrid_a crime_n that_o be_v direct_o against_o it_o i_o have_v live_v and_o now_o die_v of_o the_o reform_a religion_n a_o true_a and_o sincere_a protestant_n and_o in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n though_o i_o can_v never_o yet_o comply_v with_o or_o rise_v up_o to_o all_o the_o height_n of_o many_o people_n his_o lordship_n must_v certain_o equivocate_v here_o in_o his_o meaning_n of_o a_o church_n for_o the_o church_n of_o england_n according_a to_o the_o common_a acceptation_n of_o it_o never_o allow_v such_o practice_n and_o though_o he_o will_v fain_o signalise_v it_o with_o such_o a_o member_n yet_o he_o must_v have_v a_o reservation_n for_o that_o disow_v all_o equivocation_n and_o allow_v salvation_n for_o none_o under_o his_o lordship_n circumstance_n that_o deal_v not_o sincere_o in_o their_o last_o hour_n and_o make_v a_o plain_a and_o full_a confession_n of_o all_o he_o know_v which_o his_o lordship_n resolve_v against_o as_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o advantage_n of_o his_o reform_a traitor_n i_o think_v bitterness_n and_o persecution_n be_v bad_a at_o all_o time_n much_o more_o now_o no_o doubt_n but_o his_o lordship_n will_v have_v they_o go_v on_o without_o controll_n and_o not_o have_v his_o saint_n persecute_v now_o though_o it_o be_v evident_a to_o the_o world_n that_o they_o be_v the_o very_a source_n and_o fountain_n of_o treason_n rebellion_n etc._n etc._n but_o yet_o forsooth_o they_o must_v not_o be_v persecute_v for_o the_o king_n i_o do_v sincere_o pray_v for_o he_o and_o wish_v well_o to_o he_o and_o to_o the_o nation_n that_o they_o may_v be_v happy_a in_o one_o another_o and_o that_o he_o may_v be_v indeed_o the_o defender_n of_o the_o faith_n here_o his_o lordship_n be_v please_v to_o lend_v the_o king_n a_o box_n on_o the_o ear_n on_o one_o side_n and_o endeavour_v to_o hold_v he_o up_o on_o the_o other_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v what_o he_o mean_v by_o indeed_o he_o must_v certain_o insinuate_v that_o he_o be_v nothing_o at_o present_a but_o a_o hypocrite_n and_o pretend_v one_o thing_n and_o mean_v another_o but_o his_o lordship_n defender_n of_o the_o faith_n indeed_o must_v certain_o be_v one_o that_o will_v suffer_v his_o own_o throat_n to_o be_v cut_v and_o say_v nothing_o and_o that_o will_v see_v his_o kingdom_n invade_v and_o all_o his_o loyal_a subject_n destroy_v to_o make_v way_n for_o such_o bloodthirsty_a miscreant_n but_o we_o now_o well_o know_v that_o a_o whig_n be_v that_o sort_n of_o animal_n that_o admire_v nothing_o and_o praise_n none_o or_o at_o least_o but_o slight_o and_o that_o not_o without_o some_o pity_n of_o his_o defect_n and_o want_n but_o he_o forsooth_o have_v all_o that_o every_o man_n have_v and_o all_o that_o every_o
