the_o conference_n and_o the_o arrival_n of_o your_o antagonist_n endeavour_v to_o possess_v your_o favourer_n with_o a_o prejudice_n against_o he_o prophesy_v something_o which_o you_o be_v sure_o

of_o your_o party_n without_o some_o witness_n of_o his_o own_o but_o this_o as_o you_o shall_v word_n it_o must_v argue_v confidence_n in_o you_o and_o diffidence_n in_o him._n and_o when_o you_o
