to_o my_o knowledge_n i_o be_o loath_a to_o mention_v the_o jacobite_n party_n as_o a_o argument_n worth_a while_n to_o maintain_v any_o thing_n of_o force_n but_o just_o enough_o to_o prevent_v

they_o will_v never_o have_v the_o courage_n to_o disturb_v our_o peace_n with_o sword_n in_o hand_n what_o they_o do_v will_v be_v by_o cabal_n to_o foment_n distrust_v and_o discontent_n to_o
