to_o be_v his_o accuser_n because_o you_o know_v there_o be_v a_o certain_a man_n in_o the_o world_n who_o he_o love_v as_o well_o as_o he_o can_v possible_o do_v himself_o that_o have_v present_v

be_v hang_v in_o edward_n the_o four_o time_n for_o a_o much_o more_o pardonable_a presumption_n for_o if_o that_o unhappy_a man_n fool_v away_o his_o life_n by_o say_v his_o son_n be_v heir_n to_o

we_o judge_v he_o worthy_a who_o have_v not_o only_o assume_v to_o himself_o but_o delegated_a to_o his_o dependent_n a_o despotic_a power_n and_o sovereign_a authority_n and_o yet_o you_o be_v

but_o however_o you_o chance_v to_o be_v then_o so_o much_o out_o of_o humour_n i_o can_v doubt_v but_o when_o you_o think_v of_o it_o again_o and_o consider_v right_o you_o will_v make_v i_o a_o return_n of_o thanks_o for_o that_o seasonable_a advice_n and_o suitable_a instance_n together_o with_o these_o your_o respect_n to_o the_o editor_n you_o make_v yourself_o also_o a_o advocate_n for_o

have_v assume_v a_o unwarrantable_a power_n which_o strange_a passage_n incline_v i_o to_o believe_v you_o scarce_o ever_o give_v yourself_o the_o trouble_n to_o read_v over_o that_o paper_n of_o i_o you_o have_v undertake_v to_o animadvert_v upon_o or_o otherwise_o i_o can_v not_o in_o my_o own_o justification_n omit_v to_o treat_v you_o once_o more_o in_o your_o own_o style_n and_o tell_v you_o the_o lie_n remain_v upon_o you_o for_o if_o you_o please_v to_o take_v the_o pain_n to_o look_v over_o it_o again_o you_o will_v there_o find_v a_o brief_a intimation_n of_o the_o piracy_n and_o felony_n he_o commit_v on_o the_o estate_n of_o captain_n valentine_n pynes_n in_o the_o seizure_n of_o his_o ship_n and_o good_n to_o amount_v of_o about_o 3000_o l._n and_o since_o you_o give_v i_o this_o occasion_n i_o will_v call_v no_o other_o person_n than_o your_o own_o good_a self_n to_o witness_v against_o he_o in_o that_o matter_n for_o i_o hear_v you_o be_v one_o of_o the_o select_a committee_n upon_o this_o business_n and_o i_o have_v have_v some_o general_a notice_n how_o the_o affair_n be_v manage_v as_o that_o you_o never_o vouchsafe_v the_o captain_n the_o favour_n of_o a_o hear_n which_o by_o the_o way_n i_o must_v tell_v you_o be_v a_o method_n of_o proceed_v that_o will_v better_o have_v become_v turk_n than_o christian_n but_o after_o you_o have_v consider_v the_o merit_n of_o the_o cause_n according_a to_o your_o good_a pleasure_n you_o let_v he_o know_v your_o despotic_a determination_n that_o upon_o his_o give_v a_o authentic_a full_a release_n to_o your_o general_n and_o all_o his_o confederate_n you_o will_v condescend_v to_o restore_v he_o 1300_o l._n now_o what_o i_o argue_v from_o this_o be_v that_o either_o you_o do_v therein_o tacit_o confess_v your_o general_n have_v do_v he_o wrong_n or_o else_o you_o can_v excuse_v yourself_o from_o do_v wrong_a to_o the_o company_n in_o give_v he_o so_o much_o money_n which_o be_v lawful_o they_o this_o be_v impartial_o the_o state_n of_o the_o case_n and_o so_o i_o leave_v you_o to_o vindicate_v your_o celebrate_a probity_n and_o piety_n from_o those_o imputation_n to_o which_o this_o unhappy_a affair_n have_v render_v you_o obnoxious_a and_o when_o you_o take_v the_o matter_n in_o hand_n i_o pray_v go_v through_o with_o it_o and_o let_v we_o also_o know_v why_o you_o give_v he_o neither_o more_o nor_o less_o than_o the_o just_a sum_n of_o 1300_o l._n because_o i_o be_o sure_a he_o can_v make_v it_o full_o evident_a that_o he_o be_v at_o first_o rob_v of_o double_a that_o amount_v beside_o the_o vast_a prejudice_n that_o accrue_v to_o he_o by_o those_o inhuman_a usage_n of_o your_o new_a make_v general_n in_o be_v so_o long_o deprive_v of_o the_o use_n of_o his_o stock_n and_o put_v out_o of_o that_o beneficial_a way_n of_o business_n he_o be_v place_v in_o your_o next_o objection_n against_o i_o be_v that_o i_o seem_v to_o justify_v those_o that_o you_o be_v please_v to_o
