a_o account_n of_o the_o late_a revolution_n in_o new-england_n in_o a_o letter_n sir_n among_o the_o many_o matter_n of_o discourse_n and_o wonder_n at_o this_o day_n abroad_o in_o the_o world_n the_o state_n of_o new-england_n can_v but_o be_v one_o 〈◊〉_d and_o of_o that_o if_o i_o will_v not_o forfeit_v the_o character_n which_o you_o allow_v i_o of_o your_o friend_n i_o must_v now_o give_v you_o some_o account_n since_o the_o illegal_a subversion_n of_o our_o ancient_a government_n this_o great_a but_o poor_a people_n have_v be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n skilful_a to_o destroy_v and_o all_o our_o concern_v both_o civil_a and_o sacred_a have_v suffer_v by_o the_o arbitrary_a oppression_n of_o unreasonable_a men._n i_o believe_v no_o part_n of_o the_o english_a america_n so_o powerful_a and_o unite_a as_o new-england_n be_v can_v have_v endure_v half_o so_o many_o abuse_n as_o we_o have_v be_v harass_v withal_o with_o a_o ten_o part_n of_o our_o patience_n but_o our_o conscience_n be_v that_o which_o give_v metal_n to_o our_o patience_n and_o keep_v we_o quet_n for_o though_o our_o foul_a mouth_a enemy_n have_v treat_v we_o as_o a_o rebellious_a because_o we_o be_v a_o religious_a people_n they_o may_v be_v please_v now_o to_o understand_v that_o if_o we_o have_v not_o be_v religious_a we_o have_v long_o since_o be_v what_o they_o will_v if_o they_o dare_v have_v call_v rebellious_a the_o very_a form_n of_o government_n impose_v upon_o we_o be_v among_o the_o worst_a of_o treason_n even_o a_o treasonable_a invasion_n of_o the_o right_n which_o the_o whole_a english_a nation_n lay_v claim_v unto_o every_o true_a englishman_n must_v justify_v our_o dissatisfaction_n at_o it_o and_o believe_v that_o we_o have_v not_o so_o much_o resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n as_o we_o have_v resist_v a_o intolerable_a violation_n of_o his_o ordinance_n but_o sir_n be_v please_v now_o to_o reflect_v upon_o our_o declaration_n and_o consider_v whether_o the_o administration_n of_o this_o government_n be_v not_o as_o vexatious_a as_o the_o constitution_n of_o it_o be_v illegal_a consider_v whether_o the_o whole_a government_n be_v not_o become_v a_o mere_a engine_n a_o sort_n of_o machin_n contrive_v only_o to_o enrich_v a_o crew_n of_o abject_a stranger_n upon_o the_o ruin_n of_o a_o miserable_a people_n and_o yet_o i_o be_o to_o tell_v you_o that_o scarce_o one_o half_a be_v tell_v you_o the_o declaration_n be_v compose_v so_o much_o in_o the_o hurry_n of_o action_n that_o it_o comprehend_v not_o all_o our_o grievance_n however_o you_o may_v guess_v from_o the_o claw_n there_o portray_v what_o sort_n of_o creature_n be_v devour_v of_o we_o sir_n i_o own_o that_o we_o argue_v simple_o about_o the_o affair_n of_o government_n but_o we_o feel_v true._n i_o have_v sometime_o challenge_v any_o man_n to_o mention_v so_o much_o as_o one_o thing_n do_v by_o our_o late_a superior_n for_o the_o welfare_n of_o the_o country_n a_o thousand_o thing_n we_o all_o feel_v every_o day_n do_v for_o the_o ruin_n of_o it_o and_o as_o it_o be_v say_v once_o when_o they_o have_v divine_a service_n among_o they_o he_o that_o read_v it_o be_v to_o read_v that_o epistle_n where_o according_a to_o their_o translation_n it_o be_v say_v be_v barbarous_a one_o to_o another_o by_o a_o unhappy_a mistake_n read_v it_o be_v barbarous_a one_o to_o another_o so_o we_o think_v we_o feel_v their_o continual_a act_n upon_o that_o mistake_a rule_n however_o i_o confess_v and_o i_o know_v not_o whether_o you_o will_v count_v it_o our_o honour_n or_o our_o blemish_n we_o shall_v have_v bear_v the_o grievance_n without_o any_o attempt_n for_o our_o own_o relief_n but_o our_o supplication_n to_o the_o great_a god_n for_o our_o application_n to_o the_o late_a king_n our_o only_a remain_a remedy_n on_o earth_n we_o have_v find_v ineffectual_a but_o there_o happen_v one_o provocation_n to_o our_o people_n more_o which_o have_v more_o than_o a_o hundred_o in_o it_o and_o such_o be_v their_o infirmity_n if_o you_o will_v call_v it_o so_o that_o this_o they_o can_v not_o bear_v a_o small_a body_n of_o our_o eastern_a

a_o party_n of_o indian_n which_o be_v affirm_v to_o belong_v unto_o that_o crew_n of_o murderer_n be_v seize_v by_o the_o english_a but_o governor_n andros_n with_o many_o favour_n to_o they_o
