they_o may_v be_v so_o provide_v for_o for_o future_a that_o they_o may_v be_v least_o burdensome_a to_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o that_o present_a and_o speedy_a care_n may_v be_v take_v to_o ease_v the_o people_n of_o that_o intolerable_a burden_n of_o freequarter_n especial_o from_o those_o that_o pay_v all_o due_a tax_n to_o which_o purpose_n we_o earnest_o entreat_v that_o all_o land_n and_o

by_o a_o equal_a tax_n each_o county_n know_v their_o soldier_n they_o be_v to_o pay_v which_o will_v save_v the_o trouble_n and_o charge_n of_o many_o collector_n treasurer_n and_o receiver_n and_o that_o then_o they_o only_o may_v be_v liable_a to_o free_a quarter_n who_o resist_v or_o delay_v payment_n thereof_o 3._o and_o further_o to_o this_o purpose_n we_o humble_o offer_v that_o whereas_o

be_v with_o the_o most_o ease_n to_o the_o people_n that_o our_o law_n may_v become_v by_o its_o reformation_n a_o advantage_n and_o remedy_n which_o for_o so_o long_a time_n by_o corruption_n have_v be_v so_o heavy_a a_o burden_n and_o oppression_n to_o this_o nation_n 5._o that_o that_o unequal_a burdensome_a and_o contentious_a way_n of_o tithe_n may_v be_v take_v away_o and_o a_o more_o
