by_o the_o master_n warden_n and_o assistant_n of_o the_o company_n of_o shipwrights_a whereas_o the_o remissness_n of_o former_a governor_n in_o execute_v the_o ordinance_n establish_v for_o the_o well_o government_n of_o the_o corporation_n and_o their_o forbearance_n to_o levy_v the_o fine_n impose_v for_o breach_n of_o order_n according_a to_o his_o majesty_n charge_n and_o the_o ordinance_n thereupon_o make_v make_v many_o person_n especial_o of_o the_o better_a sort_n insolent_a in_o their_o carriage_n and_o remiss_a in_o their_o duty_n and_o notwithstanding_o that_o we_o who_o be_v now_o governor_n with_o a_o joint_a consent_n be_v in_o hand_n to_o redress_v those_o grievance_n which_o themselves_o complain_v of_o and_o that_o many_o of_o they_o be_v eyewitness_n what_o good_a entrance_n we_o have_v already_o make_v in_o reform_v of_o many_o disorder_n and_o particular_o for_o relief_n of_o the_o poor_a and_o restrain_v the_o abuse_n of_o keep_v exorbitant_a number_n of_o
