to_o give_v a_o easy_a account_n for_o this_o but_o whereas_o i_o say_v the_o repair_n of_o st._n paul_n be_v a_o strange_a piece_n of_o treason_n and_o they_o present_o reply_v that_o they_o do_v

it_o rise_v by_o step_n that_o can_v well_o be_v because_o the_o first_o order_n be_v the_o sour_a if_o i_o conceive_v it_o right_n beside_o here_o be_v real_a composition_n allot_v for_o they_o and_o that_o by_o a_o committee_n name_v by_o the_o lord_n not_o by_o i_o and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v very_o real_a for_o it_o cost_v eight_o or_o nine_o thousand_o pound_n as_o appear_v upon_o the_o

more_o than_o i_o remember_v if_o i_o do_v so_o and_o this_o man_n be_v single_a and_o in_o his_o own_o case_n and_o where_o lie_v the_o treason_n that_o be_v in_o it_o beside_o least_o
