3._o that_o the_o proceed_n of_o the_o say_a office_n as_o they_o will_v needs_o call_v it_o or_o society_n be_v a_o great_a affront_n to_o and_o so_o resent_v by_o the_o whole_a commission_n of_o the_o peace_n by_o who_o commission_n i_o suppose_v they_o intend_v all_o the_o justice_n in_o commission_n and_o not_o only_o their_o own_o party_n and_o if_o so_o i_o must_v be_v excuse_v from_o

the_o committee_n but_o deign_v that_o lawful_a favour_n or_o civility_n to_o the_o innocent_a and_o honest_a gentleman_n concern_v which_o they_o ready_o extend_v even_o beyond_o law_n to_o
