complain_v in_o our_o street_n so_o that_o a_o man_n can_v hardly_o know_v there_o be_v a_o war._n let_v god_n be_v bless_v that_o he_o have_v give_v this_o king_n signal_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o

go_v out_o the_o world_n also_o itself_o be_v trouble_v and_o begin_v to_o grow_v out_o of_o order_n perhaps_o it_o happen_v so_o because_o his_o lordship_n go_v out_o of_o office_n his_o great_a wisdom_n and_o conduct_v not_o be_v any_o long_o at_o the_o helm_n a_o poet_n of_o our_o own_o fancy_n the_o frame_n of_o the_o world_n to_o be_v bolt_v together_o with_o a_o small_a pin_n or_o two_o if_o that_o be_v put_v out_o all_o fall_v to_o piece_n therefore_o when_o he_o bring_v in_o catiline_n in_o the_o three_o act_n in_o a_o great_a chase_n because_o himself_o be_v reject_v and_o

of_o his_o lordship_n because_o i_o perceive_v in_o page_n 44._o of_o his_o pamphlet_n he_o seem_v as_o if_o he_o will_v speak_v like_o a_o friend_n of_o he_o and_o say_v the_o parliament_n have_v
