the_o representatives_n of_o the_o whole_a nation_n who_o be_v the_o only_a person_n fit_a to_o judge_v and_o determine_v so_o great_a and_o important_a a_o affair_n as_o be_v and_o be_v to_o the_o

of_o which_o we_o have_v already_o feel_v in_o part_n and_o do_v still_o feel_v methinks_v a_o general_a exhortation_n will_v not_o here_o be_v improper_a to_o press_v they_o earnest_o to_o a_o

though_o god_n suffer_v long_o yet_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v always_o but_o more_o particular_o i_o will_v here_o apply_v myself_o to_o all_o those_o that_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v
