whatever_o be_v pretend_v to_o the_o contrary_a will_v most_o evident_o appear_v if_o we_o may_v but_o look_v a_o little_a back_n to_o what_o have_v heretofore_o pass_v time_n be_v when_o most_o of_o

upon_o his_o return_n to_o his_o undoubted_a right_n upon_o this_o how_o notorious_a be_v it_o that_o they_o meet_v together_o to_o consult_v and_o debate_v upon_o it_o they_o persuade_v the_o
