than_o human_a that_o can_v discover_v how_o he_o either_o intend_v to_o invade_v we_o or_o to_o make_v we_o a_o prey_n to_o any_o ambition_n of_o he_o and_o therefore_o if_o upon_o this_o grand_a

but_o i_o will_v not_o injure_v a_o argument_n in_o a_o letter_n by_o the_o by_o which_o i_o can_v make_v good_a in_o a_o whole_a treatise_n for_o you_o may_v remember_v that_o of_o caesar_n to_o

as_o well_o as_o he_o and_o it_o be_v no_o more_o his_o action_n than_o it_o be_v the_o action_n of_o the_o head_n move_v by_o tendon_n and_o muscle_n which_o be_v part_n of_o the_o body_n and_o without_o which_o the_o head_n itself_o can_v not_o possible_o at_o all_o move_v so_o that_o here_o it_o come_v to_o a_o question_n whether_o it_o be_v better_o for_o we_o to_o be_v in_o slavery_n under_o the_o name_n of_o liberty_n or_o in_o liberty_n under_o the_o effect_n of_o slavery_n i_o have_v tell_v my_o thought_n before_o in_o what_o condition_n i_o conceive_v our_o liberty_n be_v and_o i_o repeat_v it_o once_o again_o that_o i_o think_v this_o present_a be_v the_o better_a expedient_a for_o suppose_v that_o the_o several_a county_n shall_v withdraw_v their_o several_a member_n for_o i_o suppose_v they_o can_v not_o of_o late_a pretend_v to_o sit_v by_o write_v certain_o they_o will_v never_o have_v make_v a_o quorum_fw-la in_o parliament_n and_o suppose_v they_o shall_v
