claudian_n yet_o their_o stiffness_n herein_o put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o happiness_n which_o he_o describe_v as_o peculiar_a to_o the_o man_n that_o never_o go_v beyond_o his_o parish-bound_n these_o be_v their_o sentiment_n and_o so_o you_o must_v look_v out_o for_o other_o method_n to_o supply_v the_o militia_n to_o have_v they_o useful_a one_o project_n be_v that_o out_o of_o the_o

of_o a_o man_n you_o dare_v not_o trust_v or_o what_o better_a security_n can_v i_o have_v that_o one_o who_o proffer_v i_o his_o service_n and_o be_v a_o stranger_n will_v be_v more_o for_o my_o

the_o constitution_n which_o be_v offer_v a_o violence_n to_o nature_n he_o go_v on_o to_o tell_v we_o that_o wherever_o the_o militia_n be_v there_o be_v or_o will_v be_v the_o government_n in_o a_o short_a time_n i_o will_v not_o be_v so_o dogmatical_a as_o to_o prescribe_v to_o my_o better_n but_o if_o you_o will_v procure_v a_o interest_n to_o bring_v in_o a_o bill_n to_o make_v the_o militia_n useful_a those_o who_o send_v man_n to_o it_o will_v be_v please_v with_o the_o project_n to_o have_v the_o gentleman_n of_o the_o country_n without_o the_o addition_n of_o inferior_a officer_n to_o be_v appoint_v by_o the_o king_n and_o the_o reason_n for_o it_o be_v plain_a which_o be_v this_o it_o be_v common_o a_o trust_n which_o divers_a lieutenant_n of_o county_n have_v to_o serve_v as_o representative_n in_o parliament_n either_o for_o the_o county_n or_o some_o burrough-town_n to_o which_o they_o may_v be_v neighbour_n now_o it_o must_v be_v grant_v that_o a_o

future_a prince_n shall_v the_o commons_o not_o approve_v of_o a_o prince_n administration_n liberty_n be_v a_o popular_a argument_n and_o they_o will_v be_v apt_a to_o say_v that_o we_o have_v no_o

you_o fear_v a_o small_a number_n may_v awe_v election_n the_o next_o time_n you_o print_v furnish_v yourself_o with_o better_a argument_n or_o else_o most_o people_n will_v be_v apt_a to_o conclude_v that_o a_o small_a number_n of_o stand_v force_n may_v be_v convenient_a in_o our_o present_a circumstance_n that_o the_o number_n intend_v or_o propose_v be_v to_o be_v small_a it_o be_v plain_a

here_o he_o forget_v to_o make_v a_o distinction_n betwixt_o circumstance_n that_o happen_v at_o that_o time_n and_o how_o the_o case_n be_v now_o we_o have_v then_o successive_o two_o prince_n on_o
