that_o it_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o safety_n of_o this_o protestant_a kingdom_n to_o be_v govern_v by_o a_o papist_n that_o when_o our_o prince_n be_v a_o real_a papist_n he_o be_v oblige_v

will_v take_v all_o imaginable_a measure_n to_o prevent_v their_o own_o ruin_n and_o that_o of_o their_o religion_n always_o dear_a to_o they_o if_o they_o have_v any_o piety_n at_o all_o than_o

particular_a the_o safety_n of_o this_o nation_n be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o government_n of_o the_o late_a king_n james_n upon_o a_o particular_a account_n that_o i_o shall_v here_o mention_v
