oldsworth_n by_o his_o power_n interpose_v his_o most_o humble_a prayer_n therefore_o be_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o mr._n abbot_n have_v neglect_v his_o charge_n to_o the_o damage_n of_o the_o state_n and_o have_v lie_v under_o sequestration_n and_o only_o cast_v in_o his_o private_a case_n among_o the_o various_a high_a important_a affair_n of_o this_o honourable_a house_n to_o avoid_v expedition_n as_o may_v be_v conceive_v and_o forasmuch_o as_o mr._n oldsworth_n suit_n be_v subsequent_a in_o time_n to_o the_o petitioner_n and_o be_v not_o commence_v till_o the_o favourable_a order_n of_o the_o house_n have_v fix_v the_o hope_n of_o the_o petitioner_n upon_o this_o solicitation_n and_o disengaged_n he_o from_o other_o application_n his_o most_o humble_a prayer_n be_v that_o he_o may_v be_v admit_v into_o the_o execution_n and_o possession_n of_o the_o say_a register_n place_n and_o your_o petitioner_n shall_v ever_o etc._n etc._n this_o petition_n for_o the_o

presumption_n to_o limit_v the_o house_n or_o to_o particularize_v too_o far_o but_o in_o the_o open_n of_o the_o petition_n it_o be_v so_o represent_v to_o the_o house_n and_o the_o house_n so_o understand_v it_o and_o the_o judge_n place_n be_v grant_v away_o since_o the_o order_n can_v now_o take_v place_n no_o otherwise_o unless_o it_o be_v suppose_v that_o i_o use_v his_o excellency_n recommendation_n and_o make_v all_o this_o suit_n for_o some_o inferior_a service_n under_o the_o register_n if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o the_o order_n refer_v to_o something_o else_o as_o advantageous_a i_o answer_v that_o be_v add_v in_o favour_n of_o i_o in_o case_n this_o may_v fail_v by_o mr._n abbot_n justification_n or_o otherwise_o and_o so_o the_o word_n be_v in_o his_o

the_o present_a though_o less_o advantageous_a shall_v satisfy_v i_o but_o there_o be_v no_o certainty_n how_o the_o order_n of_o the_o house_n can_v be_v ever_o satisfy_v if_o i_o be_o leave_v to_o another_o discovery_n for_o either_o i_o may_v not_o live_v or_o not_o discover_v or_o else_o i_o be_o still_o in_o the_o same_o predicament_n and_o only_o capable_a of_o the_o same_o answer_n in_o infinitum_fw-la if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o mr._n oldsworths_n merit_n be_v great_a than_o i_o i_o answer_v in_o suit_n mere_o honorary_a i_o will_v be_v no_o competitor_n with_o mr._n oldsworth_n but_o in_o suit_n of_o a_o pecuniary_a nature_n i_o conceive_v i_o have_v this_o advantage_n whereas_o he_o serve_v immediate_o for_o such_o a_o burrow_n and_o the_o old_a use_n and_o law_n be_v that_o shire_n burrough_n or_o city_n shall_v maintain_v their_o own_o representant_n i_o have_v serve_v the_o lord_n and_o commons_o immediate_o in_o a_o place_n of_o eminence_n and_o so_o for_o my_o ordinary_a attendance_n and_o travail_n may_v pretend_v to_o a_o due_a entertainment_n or_o pay_v and_o yet_o more_o than_o this_o i_o have_v do_v extraordinary_a office_n also_o to_o the_o whole_a state_n which_o have_v not_o be_v altogether_o unacceptable_a and_o which_o i_o hope_v be_v in_o part_n point_v in_o the_o house_n order_n i_o shall_v without_o immodesty_n say_v this_o if_o mr._n oldsworth_n have_v make_v himself_o more_o odious_a to_o the_o other_o side_n than_o i_o have_v do_v i_o desire_v he_o may_v be_v more_o gracious_a to_o this_o if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o i_o have_v already_o enjoy_v a_o place_n of_o great_a profit_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v know_v to_o all_o that_o ever_o have_v business_n with_o i_o that_o i_o never_o demand_v nor_o suffer_v to_o be_v by_o my_o servant_n any_o thing_n of_o any_o as_o a_o due_a or_o as_o a_o gratuity_n and_o it_o be_v know_v to_o myself_o what_o i_o have_v give_v away_o and_o what_o i_o have_v lend_v and_o what_o i_o have_v lose_v by_o plunder_n and_o otherwise_o and_o i_o wish_v i_o may_v fail_v in_o this_o suit_n if_o i_o be_o not_o solicitous_a in_o it_o that_o i_o may_v be_v enable_v thereby_o for_o that_o public_a service_n which_o hitherto_o mere_a indigence_n have_v hinder_v i_o from_o if_o the_o gain_n of_o a_o new_a office_n can_v as_o much_o conduce_v to_o mr._n oldsworths_n attendance_n in_o parliament_n as_o it_o may_v to_o my_o other_o study_n and_o endeavour_n i_o will_v not_o be_v his_o concurrent_a if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o the_o place_n be_v of_o vast_a advantage_n i_o answer_v for_o that_o i_o shall_v not_o insist_v upon_o those_o word_n in_o the_o order_n i_o leave_v that_o to_o the_o house_n own_o interpretation_n and_o to_o consider_v as_o well_o what_o be_v fit_a for_o they_o to_o give_v as_o for_o i_o to_o receive_v if_o this_o also_o may_v be_v a_o precedent_n for_o other_o officer_n either_o to_o moderate_a fee_n or_o to_o assist_v the_o public_a by_o they_o i_o shall_v rejoice_v to_o see_v it_o nevertheless_o master_n kilvert_n who_o be_v mr._n oldsworths_n friend_n and_o my_o enemy_n will_v not_o cantonize_v the_o place_n it_o be_v his_o own_o word_n if_o master_n oldsworth_n may_v enjoy_v it_o but_o rather_o than_o i_o shall_v enjoy_v it_o he_o will_v be_v so_o good_a a_o patriot_n as_o to_o cut_v it_o into_o part_n my_o suit_n therefore_o now_o be_v that_o since_o the_o house_n do_v first_o intend_v i_o this_o place_n or_o something_o else_o as_o advantageous_a in_o case_n this_o prove_v not_o feasible_a and_o do_v add_v a_o clause_n for_o my_o benefit_n in_o their_o order_n not_o because_o i_o shall_v be_v put_v off_o upon_o further_a attendance_n or_o expectation_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o mr._n oldsworth_n be_v not_o only_o bar_v by_o the_o

be_v before_o express_v that_o he_o make_v no_o request_n to_o the_o house_n for_o this_o place_n nor_o acquaint_v they_o withal_o how_o far_o the_o house_n have_v condescend_v before_o about_o the_o same_o in_o give_v it_o to_o i_o but_o proceed_v direct_o by_o way_n of_o ordinance_n for_o possess_v himself_o of_o that_o place_n all_o the_o premise_n consider_v that_o i_o may_v be_v make_v capable_a of_o that_o favour_n which_o the_o honourable_a house_n order_n first_o intend_v i_o my_o friend_n may_v also_o urge_v in_o my_o behalf_n 1._o that_o i_o never_o seek_v for_o any_o stipend_n from_o the_o state_n nor_o ever_o receive_v penny_n under_o that_o name_n but_o do_v disburse_v some_o money_n for_o the_o state_n upon_o special_a command_n and_o order_n all_o which_o be_v not_o

by_o some_o officer_n that_o be_v in_o want_n 3._o that_o when_o i_o leave_v this_o kingdom_n and_o betake_v myself_o to_o serve_v the_o merchant_n at_o hamburgh_n i_o be_v drive_v thereunto_o by_o
