the_o true_a protestant_n appeal_v to_o the_o city_n and_o country_n gentleman_n and_o worthy_a fellow-citizen_n and_o subject_n i_o have_v overcome_v myself_o for_o your_o sake_n in_o two_o

this_o thing_n be_v not_o do_v in_o a_o corner_n but_o in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o then_o avow_v by_o dissenting-protestants_a both_o in_o the_o public_a memoirs_fw-fr of_o their_o
