though_o they_o find_v no_o just_a reason_n and_o emergency_n for_o war_n yet_o because_o i_o apprehend_v our_o kingdom_n be_v like_o to_o make_v a_o fatal_a end_n and_o our_o babel_n be_v tremble_v

that_o be_v make_v poor_a and_o passive_a they_o may_v be_v rule_v with_o the_o more_o ease_n it_o be_v not_o unknown_a to_o you_o all_o how_o impudent_o and_o blasphemous_o i_o rail_v against_o
