long_o and_o for_o that_o i_o may_v thank_v the_o parliament_n but_o you_o petition_v against_o i_o for_o which_o i_o be_o much_o behold_v to_o you_o very_o inever_n think_v this_o city_n will_v have_v prove_v so_o unfaithful_a to_o i_o i_o be_o sure_a i_o well_o remember_v when_o it_o be_v otherwise_o when_o my_o brother_n harry_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o good_a old_a cause_n be_v mangle_v into_o piece_n by_o gun-shot_n that_o very_o little_a if_o any_o part_n at_o all_o be_v leave_v of_o he_o oh_o how_o do_v you_o the_o grave_a man_n of_o the_o city_n wait_v upon_o and_o walk_v after_o his_o empty_a coffin_n what_o fine_a verse_n be_v make_v upon_o he_o how_o do_v the_o herald_n stretch_v their_o wit_n and_o tenter_v their_o invention_n to_o emblazon_v his_o

hug_v of_o myself_o it_o be_v pretty_a well_o know_v upon_o what_o foundation_n i_o first_o raise_v the_o fabric_n of_o my_o greatness_n o_o it_o be_v a_o fine_a thing_n to_o have_v faith_n i_o have_v faith_n and_o it_o fail_v i_o not_o i_o trust_v the_o cavalier_n man_n of_o quality_n man_n of_o estate_n when_o there_o wealth_n be_v a_o refine_n at_o goldsmith_n half_a they_o pay_v i_o i_o get_v by_o it_o and_o ever_o since_o i_o hate_v they_o it_o be_v agreat_a eyesore_n gentleman_n nay_o it_o be_v a_o heart-breaking_a when_o any_o person_n can_v hit_v it_o in_o our_o tooth_n that_o they_o raise_v we_o oh_o those_o step_n must_v be_v pull_v down_o by_o such_o worthy_a act_n i_o think_v to_o have_v endear_v the_o city_n and_o consequent_o to_o have_v merit_v a_o everlasting_a government_n and_o true_o i_o must_v confess_v it_o be_v as_o a_o worthy_a alderman_n late_o say_v my_o own_o seek_v and_o can_v you_o blame_v i_o for_o such_o a_o seek_v the_o great-man_n the_o governor_n the_o parliament_n they_o approve_v of_o my_o seek_n but_o you_o be_v not_o please_v with_o it_o you_o be_v offend_v you_o cry_v out_o of_o your_o privilege_n that_o you_o shall_v loose_v your_o charter_n why_o gentleman_n be_v it_o not_o better_v you_o shall_v lose_v your_o charter_n then_o i_o the_o reward_n of_o any_o good_a service_n if_o old_a thing_n be_v to_o be_v lay_v aside_o you_o may_v have_v as_o well_o lay_v aside_o your_o old_a charter_n as_o refuse_v i_o for_o fear_v i_o shall_v be_v a_o old_a mayor_n true_o gentleman_n you_o need_v not_o court_v the_o mayoralty_n so_o much_o for_o there_o be_v no_o protector_n to_o knight_n you_o now_o as_o soon_o as_o you_o be_v out_o of_o your_o time_n i_o be_o sorry_a that_o a_o roll_n of_o parchment_n shall_v stick_v so_o in_o your_o stomach_n pray_v god_n you_o may_v be_v able_a to_o digest_v it_o i_o be_o much_o afflict_v to_o see_v you_o have_v so_o little_a manner_n in_o you_o i_o be_o sure_a you_o have_v choose_v a_o thousand_o mayor_n and_o you_o may_v have_v give_v the_o parliament_n leave_v to_o choose_v one_o i_o be_v once_o a_o mercer_n and_o cheat_v the_o people_n with_o false_a light_n than_o i_o become_v religious_a and_o cheat_v they_o with_o false_a light_n afterward_o i_o be_v a_o publican_n and_o consequent_o a_o public_a sinner_n but_o as_o i_o be_o a_o sinner_n do_v not_o think_v you_o will_v have_v use_v i_o so_o unkind_o what_o need_v you_o keep_v such_o a_o stir_n with_o your_o charter_n suppose_v you_o have_v never_o a_o mayor_n do_v you_o think_v your_o city_n will_v perish_v pray_v tell_v i_o where_o do_v you_o find_v that_o the_o city_n which_o cain_n build_v in_o the_o land_n of_o nod_n have_v any_o mayor_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o i_o know_v it_o be_v govern_v as_o well_o as_o london_n beside_o i_o read_v not_o where_o in_o scripture_n that_o there_o be_v any_o mayor_n of_o city_n indeed_o we_o hear_v of_o king_n of_o particular_a town_n as_o of_o sodom_n and_o gomorrha_n etc._n etc._n i_o will_v i_o be_v king_n of_o london_n i_o believe_v i_o shall_v be_v as_o great_a a_o king_n as_o kedorlaom_a for_o all_o his_o hard_a name_n i_o have_v likewise_o hear_v of_o the_o ruler_n of_o the_o city_n but_o now_o i_o perceive_v a_o mayor_n be_v no_o ruler_n of_o your_o city_n for_o if_o i_o can_v have_v rule_v this_o city_n you_o may_v be_v sure_a i_o will_v have_v have_v my_o will_n a_o little_a better_o than_o now_o i_o have_v but_o hang_v it_o let_v it_o go_v take_v your_o mayorality_n and_o your_o charter_n and_o wipe_v your_o tail_n with_o your_o charter_n and_o your_o mayorality_n for_o when_o i_o consider_v what_o metaphorical_a gird_v the_o mayor_n be_v liable_a too_o true_o i_o can_v conceive_v it_o so_o great_a a_o dignity_n as_o you_o imagine_v for_o some_o man_n call_v i_o swinherd_n of_o the_o people_n some_o call_v i_o goatherd_n of_o the_o people_n and_o some_o shep-herd_n of_o the_o people_n against_o the_o two_o latter_a i_o know_v not_o how_o to_o defend_v myself_o consider_v your_o tameness_n and_o wantonness_n but_o for_o the_o first_o say_v i_o gentleman_n pray_v do_v not_o lay_v that_o aspersion_n upon_o i_o for_o i_o never_o see_v any_o beast_n break_v under_o my_o charge_n but_o what_o have_v horn_n on_o well_o i_o can_v blame_v you_o for_o man_n be_v covetous_a of_o novelty_n nor_o can_v i_o blame_v myself_o for_o have_v a_o ill_a opinion_n of_o you_o for_o you_o be_v always_o deserter_n of_o your_o friend_n no_o long_o pipe_n no_o long_o dance_v with_o you_o if_o the_o parliament_n be_v interrupt_v than_o oliver_n his_o red_a nose_n must_v be_v meet_v by_o you_o with_o hosannaes_n all_o the_o glory_n you_o can_v invent_v be_v too_o little_a for_o his_o highness_n entertainment_n he_o

he_o deserve_v to_o be_v whip_v who_o pull_v down_o his_o breech_n for_o the_o lash_n oh_o that_o prince_n that_o will_v be_v have_v a_o soft_a place_n in_o his_o head_n and_o do_v he_o think_v we_o
