must_v ready_o accord_v to_o this_o proposal_n and_o not_o only_o acknowledge_v that_o it_o be_v indispensible_o requisite_a it_o be_v do_v with_o all_o possible_a expedition_n but_o that_o it_o be_v

a_o principal_a article_n of_o their_o creed_n that_o their_o main_a business_n in_o this_o world_n be_v to_o aggrandise_v their_o family_n though_o they_o raise_v their_o fortune_n by_o the_o ruin_n of_o their_o country_n and_o they_o go_v on_o with_o a_o strange_a assurance_n of_o success_n to_o their_o evil_a design_n for_o they_o have_v cut_v out_o a_o bill_n in_o readiness_n and_o presume_v they_o shall_v make_v a_o interest_n for_o its_o pass_v without_o opposition_n whereby_o one_o or_o two_o aspire_a man_n hope_v to_o be_v invest_v with_o a_o more_o despotic_a power_n over_o our_o

we_o enjoy_v they_o will_v make_v we_o the_o most_o abject_a slave_n in_o nature_n for_o those_o imposing_n may_v in_o some_o respect_n be_v tolerable_a from_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o sovereign_n which_o will_v be_v worse_o than_o death_n from_o a_o fellow-subject_a especial_o from_o such_o who_o have_v not_o the_o least_o pretence_n to_o any_o superiority_n more_o than_o they_o fancy_v they_o

in_o the_o opinion_n of_o other_o i_o have_v hear_v of_o some_o of_o their_o little_a argument_n or_o rather_o evasion_n whereby_o they_o will_v fain_o persuade_v they_o that_o be_v stranger_n to_o these_o affair_n that_o it_o will_v be_v very_o incommodious_a if_o not_o impracticable_a to_o make_v any_o alteration_n in_o the_o present_a company_n as_o that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o work_n of_o time_n to_o adjust_a all_o matter_n betwixt_o the_o old_a and_o new_a adventurer_n and_o so_o may_v occasion_v a_o interruption_n in_o the_o trade_n which_o will_v be_v a_o great_a prejudice_n to_o the_o nation_n that_o they_o have_v not_o for_o some_o year_n pass_v receive_v account_n from_o their_o factor_n and_o be_v thereby_o unacquainted_a with_o the_o true_a state_n of_o their_o affair_n and_o value_v of_o their_o effect_n in_o india_n that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a difficult_a thing_n how_o to_o compute_v a_o equitable_a consideration_n for_o their_o dead_a stock_n abroad_o in_o castle_n fort_n colony_n city_n town_n factory_n etc._n etc._n now_o beside_o the_o invalidity_n of_o these_o empty_a pretence_n i_o can_v but_o take_v notice_n that_o our_o cunning_a man_n be_v sometime_o so_o unlucky_a to_o outwit_n themselves_o by_o their_o own_o sophism_n for_o certain_o it_o be_v not_o well_o consider_v to_o give_v a_o hint_n of_o the_o damage_n it_o will_v be_v to_o the_o public_a to_o have_v the_o trade_n interrupt_v for_o a_o little_a time_n because_o it_o may_v give_v occasion_n to_o the_o government_n to_o make_v strict_a inquiry_n into_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o late_a interruption_n for_o four_o or_o five_o year_n together_o and_o to_o exact_a satisfaction_n for_o the_o great_a loss_n sustain_v thereby_o which_o as_o i_o before_o intimate_v can_v be_v compute_v at_o less_o than_o a_o million_o to_o the_o crown_n and_o the_o company_n nor_o will_v it_o pass_v for_o better_a than_o a_o blunder_n in_o the_o school_n of_o politic_n to_o bring_v upon_o the_o stage_n a_o accusation_n against_o their_o servant_n in_o allege_v they_o be_v so_o long_o behind_o in_o their_o account_n because_o such_o unpardonable_a failure_n abroad_o will_v arraign_v the_o understanding_n or_o integrity_n of_o some_o body_n at_o home_n who_o have_v have_v the_o choice_n of_o all_o their_o servant_n for_o several_a year_n past_a and_o make_v it_o manifest_a that_o there_o have_v be_v care_n take_v to_o provide_v person_n just_o so_o fit_a to_o assist_v in_o their_o mercantile_fw-la affair_n as_o coachman_n will_v be_v to_o command_v their_o ship_n but_o moreover_o this_o thing_n be_v not_o more_o improper_a to_o be_v offer_v than_o it_o be_v in_o part_n if_o not_o altogether_o false_a for_o to_o my_o certain_a knowledge_n there_o be_v general_a book_n of_o account_n bring_v from_o fort_n st._n george_n by_o the_o chandois_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o february_n last_o though_o i_o can_v say_v they_o be_v now_o where_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o the_o company_n house_n in_o leaden-hall-street_n for_o i_o have_v be_v tell_v that_o a_o certain_a man_n who_o be_v at_o present_a no_o more_o than_o one_o of_o the_o committee_n do_v late_o take_v away_o several_a of_o their_o book_n and_o paper_n to_o his_o own_o house_n about_o six_o mile_n from_o london_n which_o if_o true_a be_v in_o my_o opinion_n a_o sort_n of_o felony_n that_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v the_o benefit_n of_o clergy_n as_o to_o their_o dead_a stock_n what_o i_o have_v already_o say_v concern_v it_o will_v vouch_v for_o i_o that_o it_o be_v as_o far_a from_o my_o will_n as_o my_o power_n to_o deny_v they_o full_a satisfaction_n for_o every_o particular_a but_o i_o must_v here_o say_v it_o be_v very_o idle_a i_o have_v almost_o say_v ridiculous_a in_o those_o that_o pretend_v it_o will_v be_v such_o a_o insuperable_a difficulty_n to_o make_v a_o reasonable_a valuation_n of_o it_o for_o it_o be_v but_o do_v over_o again_o what_o have_v be_v do_v several_a time_n before_o and_o the_o very_a same_o thing_n that_o this_o company_n do_v to_o the_o precede_a wherefore_o however_o they_o express_v themselves_o about_o this_o concern_v their_o mean_v be_v plain_a and_o the_o use_v they_o hope_v to_o make_v of_o it_o be_v this_o that_o if_o it_o do_v they_o no_o further_a service_n it_o will_v help_v to_o prepossess_v people_n with_o a_o opinion_n that_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v for_o some_o mighty_a thing_n that_o they_o make_v so_o great_a a_o noise_n and_o so_o it_o may_v prepare_v the_o way_n to_o make_v a_o noble_a of_o ninepence_n by_o a_o more_o current_a overvalue_a those_o matter_n when_o they_o come_v to_o a_o adjustment_n of_o they_o thus_o do_v our_o sage_a senior_n who_o have_v make_v their_o will_n a_o law_n to_o the_o other_o adventurer_n and_o use_v the_o committee_n as_o the_o french_a king_n do_v his_o parliament_n at_o paris_n contrive_v to_o impose_v on_o the_o whole_a nation_n at_o once_o but_o their_o wit_n that_o have_v serve_v they_o so_o well_o in_o other_o attempt_n will_v fail_v they_o in_o this_o for_o as_o i_o hope_v there_o be_v no_o man_n wish_v they_o the_o least_o wrong_a so_o
