but_o only_a servant_n at_o pleasure_n receive_v wage_n for_o their_o work_n and_o to_o be_v dismiss_v at_o discretion_n when_o the_o governor_n think_v fit_a though_o behave_v themselves_o well_o in_o their_o several_a employment_n they_o may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v a_o equitable_a right_n and_o that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o hardship_n in_o the_o governor_n which_o they_o can_v not_o justify_v to_o themselves_o to_o turn_v they_o off_o against_o their_o will_n in_o such_o circumstance_n as_o these_o but_o however_o these_o opinion_n do_v at_o least_o say_v thus_o much_o for_o we_o that_o

of_o the_o charter_n so_o that_o mr_n hughes_n be_v very_o much_o out_o of_o the_o way_n when_o he_o insist_o so_o unskilful_o upon_o a_o legal_a right_n and_o prove_v himself_o to_o be_v as_o bad_a

in_o the_o king_n very_o unbecoming_a either_o his_o wisdom_n or_o greatness_n and_o a_o great_a diminution_n to_o his_o power_n if_o he_o shall_v erect_v and_o constitute_v a_o commission_n to_o
