off_o so_o of_o late_a citt._n the_o very_a question_n that_o i_o put_v tother_o day_n myself_o state_n and_o it_o be_v answer_v thus_o that_o the_o nation_n can_v not_o be_v happy_a but_o in_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o government_n as_o it_o be_v establish_v by_o law_n for_o the_o tear_n of_o the_o law_n to_o piece_n must_v needs_o distract_v the_o people_n when_o they_o have_v no_o rule_n to_o walk_v by_o that_o a_o great_a many_o worthy_a person_n be_v disappoint_v in_o the_o election_n by_o be_v misrepresent_v to_o the_o people_n that_o by_o these_o practice_n diverse_a person_n be_v obtrude_v upon_o the_o nation_n of_o remarkable_a disaffection_n both_o to_o church_n and_o state_n and_o that_o therefore_o i_o suppose_v they_o may_v be_v put_v off_o to_o the_o end_n that_o some_o other_o distemper_n may_v be_v compose_v before_o their_o meeting_n bum._n and_o what_o return_n do_v thou_o make_v he_o citt._n i_o tell_v he_o he_o smell_v of_o the_o court_n topique_n and_o that_o he_o have_v a_o pope_n in_o his_o belly_n and_o so_o i_o will_v have_v no_o more_o to_o do_v with_o he_o for_o the_o better_a clear_v of_o this_o passage_n i_o shall_v set_v forth_o in_o the_o first_o place_n the_o true_a occasion_n and_o intent_n of_o my_o two_o dialogue_n upon_o the_o read_n of_o a_o venomous_a bumpkin_n if_o not_o a_o treasonous_a libel_n call_v a_o appeal_n from_o the_o country_n to_o the_o city_n i_o find_v it_o to_o be_v a_o direct_a encouragement_n to_o a_o rebellion_n and_o yet_o recommend_v to_o the_o world_n as_o the_o sense_n and_o act_n of_o the_o whole_a nation_n now_o to_o vindicate_v the_o sober_a and_o loyal_a part_n both_o of_o the_o country_n and_o city_n from_o this_o audacious_a scandal_n i_o think_v i_o can_v not_o do_v better_o then_o to_o expose_v the_o conspirator_n under_o the_o character_n of_o a_o couple_n of_o mean_a factious_a ignorant_a and_o busy_a knave_n and_o under_o the_o reproachful_a name_n of_o citt_n and_o bumpkin_n who_o be_v here_o introduce_v in_o a_o discourse_n upon_o matter_n of_o state_n and_o ironical_o point_a at_o in_o the_o very_a margin_n for_o meddle_v with_o affair_n which_o they_o do_v not_o understand_v pass_v from_o one_o thing_n to_o another_o what_o do_v think_v say_v bumpkin_n be_v the_o reason_n &_o c_o now_o this_o be_v not_o a_o question_n put_v in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o either_o to_o require_v fact_n or_o to_o draw_v on_o a_o assertory_n resolution_n upon_o the_o true_a reason_n but_o a_o question_n accommodate_v to_o the_o character_n of_o the_o person_n that_o ask_v it_o it_o be_v the_o constant_a practice_n of_o those_o people_n upon_o all_o prorogation_n or_o dissolution_n to_o write_v and_o to_o print_v their_o thought_n upon_o the_o point_n and_o effectual_o to_o call_v his_o majesty_n to_o a_o account_n upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n and_o beside_o as_o it_o be_v a_o question_n congruous_a to_o the_o humour_n of_o the_o person_n so_o have_v it_o no_o regard_n at_o all_o to_o a_o answer_n upon_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n what_o do_v think_v say_v bumpkin_n be_v the_o reason_n etc._n etc._n the_o very_a question_n say_v citt_n that_o i_o put_v other_o day_n myself_o and_o then_o without_o deliver_v his_o own_o thought_n he_o tell_v what_o another_o say_v to_o he_o upon_o the_o same_o question_n and_o citt_n do_v not_o lay_v any_o stress_n upon_o that_o answer_n neither_o but_o bring_v in_o the_o respondent_fw-la speak_v only_o upon_o a_o bare_a supposal_n by_o this_o transition_n and_o by_o what_o follow_v it_o will_v plain_o appear_v that_o this_o intervening_a clause_n be_v only_o make_v usc_n of_o for_o connexion-sake_n and_o as_o a_o clause_n of_o transition_n for_o the_o carry_v on_o of_o the_o character_n out_o of_o one_o impertinence_n into_o another_o for_o without_o come_v to_o any_o conclusion_n at_o all_o upon_o the_o point_v citt_n betake_v himself_o immediate_o to_o the_o ordinary_a refuge_n of_o the_o party_n of_o make_v two_o or_o three_o answer_n serve_v to_o all_o manner_n of_o purpose_n and_o question_n i_o tell_v he_o say_v he_o that_o he_o smell_v of_o the_o court_n and_o have_v a_o pope_n in_o his_o belly_n i_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o this_o apology_n will_v satisfy_v any_o man_n that_o have_v not_o my_o person_n in_o his_o eye_n rather_o than_o my_o error_n i_o remember_v boccalini_n laconic_a senate_n that_o pass_v so_o grievous_a a_o sentence_n upon_o a_o letterato_fw-mi for_o make_v use_n of_o three_o word_n when_o two_o will_v have_v do_v his_o business_n but_o the_o question_n be_v here_o whether_o or_o no_o i_o have_v say_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v ill_o mean_v and_o not_o whether_o that_o which_o i_o have_v deliver_v may_v have_v be_v speak_v better_a after_o this_o demonstration_n of_o the_o innocent_a intention_n and_o application_n of_o the_o matter_n in_o exception_n it_o may_v seem_v superfluous_a to_o speak_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o sense_n and_o wording_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v further_o that_o i_o can_v find_v any_o one_o syllable_n in_o this_o passage_n that_o will_v so_o much_o as_o bear_v a_o ill_a
