themselves_o this_o be_v what_o the_o discontent_n of_o factious_a people_n do_v common_o bring_v they_o to_o in_o the_o issue_n when_o they_o be_v past_a hope_n of_o gain_v their_o end_n any_o

to_o be_v the_o best_a and_o happy_a of_o constitution_n whence_o i_o infer_v that_o if_o people_n be_v due_o thankful_a to_o god_n for_o national_a blessing_n here_o in_o england_n and_o know_v when_o they_o be_v well_o the_o king_n and_o government_n be_v as_o safe_a as_o possible_a but_o if_o man_n have_v no_o sense_n at_o all_o of_o the_o happiness_n of_o a_o constitution_n nor_o ever_o
