to_o press_v with_o all_o possible_a advantage_n it_o require_v therefore_o all_o their_o skill_n and_o industry_n to_o arm_v their_o people_n against_o these_o instrument_n of_o seduction_n and_o

that_o i_o have_v not_o aggravate_v the_o calamity_n we_o have_v suffer_v nor_o misrepresent_v the_o proceed_n against_o we_o out_o of_o favour_n or_o affection_n to_o a_o party_n but_o have_v

it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v wish_v and_o in_o due_a time_n it_o be_v hope_v that_o commission_n may_v be_v issue_v by_o the_o proper_a authority_n into_o the_o several_a county_n to_o inquire_v of_o
