a_o further_a account_n of_o the_o province_n of_o pennsylvania_n and_o its_o improvement_n for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o those_o that_o be_v adventurer_n and_o incline_v to_o be_v so_o it_o have_v i_o know_v be_v much_o expect_v from_o i_o that_o i_o shall_v give_v some_o far_a narrative_a of_o those_o part_n of_o america_n where_o i_o be_o chief_o interest_v and_o have_v late_o be_v have_v continue_v there_o above_o a_o year_n after_o my_o former_a relation_n and_o receive_v since_o my_o return_n the_o fresh_a and_o full_a advice_n of_o its_o progress_n and_o improvement_n but_o as_o the_o reason_n of_o my_o come_n back_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o lord_n baltamore_n and_o myself_o about_o the_o land_n of_o delaware_n in_o consequence_n repute_v of_o mighty_a moment_n to_o we_o so_o i_o wave_v publish_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v look_v in_o favour_n of_o the_o country_n or_o invite_v to_o it_o whilst_o it_o lay_v under_o the_o discouragement_n and_o disreputation_n of_o that_o lord_n claim_n and_o pretence_n but_o since_o they_o be_v after_o many_o fair_a and_o full_a hear_n before_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o committee_n for_o plantation_n just_o and_o happy_o dismiss_v and_o the_o thing_n agree_v and_o that_o the_o letter_n which_o daily_o press_v i_o from_o all_o pa●●s_n on_o the_o subject_n of_o america_n be_v so_o many_o and_o voluminous_a that_o to_o answer_v they_o several_o be_v a_o task_n too_o heavy_a and_o repeat_v to_o perform_v i_o have_v think_v it_o most_o easy_a to_o the_o enquirer_n as_o well_o as_o myself_o to_o make_v this_o account_n public_a lest_o my_o silence_n or_o a_o more_o private_a intimation_n of_o thing_n shall_v disoblige_v the_o just_a inclination_n of_o any_o to_o america_n and_o at_o a_o time_n too_o when_o a_o extraordinary_a providence_n seem_v to_o favour_v its_o plantation_n and_o open_v a_o door_n to_o european_n to_o pass_v thither_o that_o than_o which_o be_v my_o part_n to_o do_v in_o

secure_a profit_n such_o as_o shall_v equal_o encourage_v poor_a and_o rich_a which_o can_v fail_v of_o advance_v the_o country_n in_o consequence_n i._o we_o have_v have_v about_o ninety_o sail_n of_o ship_n with_o passenger_n since_o the_o begin_n of_o 82._o and_o not_o one_o vessel_n design_v to_o the_o province_n through_o god_n mercy_n hitherto_o miscarry_v the_o estimate_n of_o the_o
