the_o proceed_n of_o the_o citizen_n of_o hereford_n in_o the_o delivery_n up_o of_o their_o charter_n and_o renew_n of_o it_o vindicated_n from_o the_o scurrilous_a imputation_n of_o richard_n

true_a account_n out_o of_o the_o record_n of_o matter_n of_o fact_n that_o by_o the_o prudent_a legal_a and_o deliberate_a proceed_n of_o the_o mayor_n herein_o you_o may_v see_v he_o be_v not_o in_o

for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o city_n for_o the_o better_a effect_v hereof_o it_o be_v requisite_a you_o have_v mr._n janeway_n false_a and_o scandalous_a relation_n upon_o the_o whole_a action_n in_o

who_o will_v have_v oppose_v it_o be_v know_v to_o be_v absent_a from_o the_o town_n and_o so_o the_o same_o be_v order_v but_o late_o a_o new_a charter_n be_v return_v with_o addition_n of_o a_o
