i_o have_v often_o think_v that_o if_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o jesuit_n and_o the_o late_a king_n friend_n in_o france_n and_o england_n have_v sit_v in_o council_n about_o the_o loyal_a and_o

these_o damn_a dog_n the_o seaman_n be_v ready_a to_o defend_v their_o ship_n and_o their_o nation_n let_v they_o lose_v never_o so_o many_o life_n therefore_o we_o must_v consult_v how_o to_o ruin_v

of_o god_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n and_o th●_n wh●le_a word_n of_o god_n from_o genesis_n to_o the_o revelation_n will_v show_v we_o that_o we_o must_v expect_v ruine_v judgement_n
