general_n i_o wish_v my_o heart_n towards_o that_o lord_n be_v write_v in_o my_o forehead_n but_o lest_o i_o shall_v be_v think_v to_o flatter_v a_o person_n who_o power_n and_o merit_n be_v so_o far_o above_o i_o which_o i_o detest_v i_o will_v take_v the_o liberty_n only_o to_o say_v this_o my_o education_n and_o birth_n i_o hope_v will_v render_v i_o so_o much_o a_o civilise_a man_n and_o above_o that_o we_o call_v ingrateful_a as_o to_o give_v the_o general_n his_o due_a who_o upon_o several_a application_n and_o address_n i_o find_v regardful_a to_o i_o and_o my_o business_n beyond_o my_o desert_n or_o expectation_n and_o for_o the_o election_n at_o cyrencester_n i_o appeal_v to_o my_o lord_n general_n himself_o what_o my_o humble_a entreaty_n and_o several_a offer_n to_o he_o

and_o due_o choose_v i_o be_o satisfy_v i_o wish_v in_o this_o business_n of_o the_o forest_n he_o may_v show_v himself_o as_o forward_a and_o faithful_a as_o the_o other_o member_n that_o the_o

as_o i_o be_v a_o stranger_n to_o they_o so_o i_o never_o receive_v more_o regard_n from_o any_o and_o in_o all_o their_o act_n they_o be_v the_o only_a people_n ever_o i_o sit_v with_o that_o carry_v
