that_o form_n of_o government_n it_o be_v answer_v he_o do_v and_o may_v like_v it_o in_o holland_n but_o they_o must_v show_v some_o instance_n that_o his_o zeal_n for_o a_o commonwealth_n be_v as_o

his_o own_o friend_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n be_v very_o few_o and_o his_o revenge_n on_o the_o far_o great_a number_n who_o have_v oppose_v his_o design_n will_v outweigh_v the_o
