easy_a as_o possible_a as_o to_o my_o son_n i_o have_v rather_o he_o get_v a_o little_a honest_o than_o a_o great_a deal_n by_o oppression_n which_o never_o wear_v well_o the_o king_n you_o see_v by_o his_o renounce_v chimney-money_n be_v not_o fond_a of_o tax_n that_o oppress_v the_o people_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a chimney-money_n have_v not_o ruin_v more_o family_n than_o this_o have_v do_v and_o may_v do_v and_o as_o to_o your_o other_o argument_n i_o have_v hear_v a_o soldier_n use_v the_o same_o against_o disband_v a_o army_n when_o all_o trouble_n be_v over_o and_o there_o be_v no_o further_a occasion_n of_o they_o why_o say_v he_o several_z officer_n and_o soldier_n have_v no_o other_o livelihood_n and_o if_o you_o disband_v we_o we_o must_v either_o beg_v rob_n or_o starve_v and_o yet_o i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v a_o madness_n for_o any_o nation_n to_o continue_v they_o to_o the_o oppression_n of_o all_o for_o fear_v they_o shall_v reduce_v some_o particular_a man_n to_o their_o shift_n another_o horrid_a oppression_n be_v this_o i_o have_v know_v a_o countryman_n bring_v a_o action_n but_o for_o ten_o pound_n and_o i_o have_v see_v a_o attorney_n bill_n of_o

that_o with_o shame_n and_o i_o can_v think_v but_o of_o this_o one_o remedy_n for_o it_o that_o be_v if_o any_o attorney_n shall_v make_v a_o oppressive_a bill_n and_o it_o shall_v be_v find_v and_o declare_v to_o be_v so_o before_o a_o judge_n that_o such_o attorney_n shall_v forfeit_v all_o that_o be_v due_a to_o he_o on_o that_o bill_n and_o such_o bill_n certify_v by_o a_o judge_n or_o

way_n of_o redress_n and_o after_o this_o it_o will_v be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o persuade_v a_o attorney_n to_o make_v a_o roguish_a bill_n mem._n true_o i_o believe_v you_o have_v hit_v the_o
