matter_n of_o this_o dispute_n you_o know_v sir_n what_o obligation_n i_o have_v to_o you_o for_o your_o care_n and_o expense_n in_o my_o education_n and_o for_o recommend_v i_o into_o so_o pious_a

you_o require_v from_o i_o to_o try_v to_o persuade_v my_o father_n who_o you_o call_v malignant_a to_o make_v himself_o a_o good_a example_n in_o the_o city_n by_o free_o bring_v in_o the_o twenty_o

it_o seem_v by_o your_o letter_n that_o i_o have_v the_o authority_n of_o a_o father_n for_o i_o though_o i_o have_v that_o of_o a_o uncle_n against_o i_o true_o sir_n i_o be_o so_o much_o satisfy_v

to_o such_o declaration_n be_v to_o forbid_v the_o print_n and_o publish_v under_o pain_n of_o plunder_v and_o imprisonment_n and_o indeed_o if_o all_o that_o have_v be_v write_v on_o both_o side_n
