a_o humble_a address_n to_o all_o the_o true_o loyal_a commons_z of_o england_n by_o a_o true_a lover_n of_o his_o king_n and_o country_n gentleman_n i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a that_o whatever_o come_v

will_v appeal_v to_o all_o sober_a person_n who_o be_v not_o bias_v by_o interest_n or_o sway_v by_o passion_n whether_o they_o believe_v any_o history_n can_v parallel_v the_o impudent_a libel_n

be_v mislead_v nor_o insinuate_v by_o man_n who_o pretend_v loyalty_n to_o the_o king_n and_o prosperity_n to_o the_o government_n when_o in_o reality_n ambition_n be_v their_o only_a aim_n for_o no_o man_n who_o be_v compomentis_n can_v believe_v that_o those_o man_n who_o in_o their_o cabal_n strive_v to_o carry_v on_o private_a design_n contrary_a to_o the_o know_a will_n of_o their_o

incumbent_n upon_o all_o from_o the_o high_a to_o the_o low_a still_o to_o return_v their_o fidelity_n and_o allegiance_n to_o the_o king_n and_o not_o to_o murmur_v nor_o sligh_o to_o insinuate_v into_o the_o people_n a_o misconstruction_n of_o their_o prince_n action_n and_o a_o mislike_n of_o his_o government_n it_o be_v a_o true_a say_n by_o a_o peer_n who_o receive_v eminent_a and_o
