do_v with_o i_o 2._o the_o second_o motive_n for_o acceptance_n be_v the_o profit_n of_o the_o place_n and_o that_o be_v very_o considerable_a with_o most_o man_n i_o bless_v god_n he_o have_v give_v

be_v more_o than_o the_o salary_n of_o this_o office_n though_o i_o acknowledge_v your_o bounty_n to_o your_o servant_n 3._o the_o three_o motive_n be_v the_o command_n which_o this_o great_a

of_o the_o service_n which_o be_v to_o do_v right_a and_o justice_n to_o man_n to_o relieve_v the_o oppress_v to_o serve_v god_n and_o to_o serve_v you_o and_o my_o country_n which_o will_v be_v do_v

other_o 1._o the_o first_o of_o these_o motive_n be_v the_o trouble_n of_o the_o place_n which_o have_v the_o great_a and_o most_o constant_a labour_n in_o it_o of_o any_o other_o place_n in_o

learning_n and_o subtlety_n can_v invent_v and_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o discern_v the_o clear_a truth_n through_o these_o shadow_n the_o judge_n of_o the_o common_a law_n have_v certain_a rule_n to_o

of_o this_o employment_n which_o be_v 4._o my_o unfitness_n and_o want_n of_o ability_n to_o under_o go_v it_o i_o mention_v not_o my_o want_n of_o ability_n of_o body_n though_o this_o place_n

do_v so_o and_o the_o more_o because_o of_o the_o difficulty_n now_o make_v here_o about_o they_o he_o do_v ingenuous_o confess_v that_o when_o he_o be_v in_o sweden_n england_n be_v then_o in_o war_n with_o the_o dutch_a his_o judgement_n be_v not_o to_o insist_v upon_o the_o have_v of_o pitch_n etc._n etc._n to_o be_v contrebanda_n good_n but_o rather_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v esteem_v so_o and_o his_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o dutch_a can_v have_v they_o notwithstanding_o by_o small_a vessel_n which_o shall_v take_v they_o in_o at_o hamborough_n or_o have_v they_o bring_v from_o lubeck_n most_o part_v of_o the_o way_n by_o water_n except_o about_o 20_o mile_n by_o land_n to_o hambourgh_n and_o from_o hambourgh_n in_o those_o vessel_n they_o can_v bring_v they_o down_o the_o elbe_n and_o from_o thence_o by_o the_o flat_n which_o be_v shoal_n water_n full_a of_o sand_n on_o the_o coast_n of_o bremen_n and_o so_o along_o to_o holland_n without_o go_v at_o all_o into_o the_o open_a sea_n or_o come_v within_o the_o danger_n of_o our_o ship_n which_o can_v not_o come_v among_o those_o flat_n nor_o hinder_v the_o dutch_a from_o have_v of_o those_o commodity_n but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n they_o can_v not_o be_v bring_v to_o england_n but_o through_o the_o wide_a sea_n where_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o danger_n of_o be_v intercept_v by_o our_o enemy_n and_o if_o he_o shall_v then_o have_v agree_v to_o have_v they_o contrebanda_n good_n he_o conceive_v the_o same_o will_v have_v hinder_v england_n be_v supply_v and_o not_o have_v hinder_v our_o enemy_n have_v of_o they_o but_o now_o he_o say_v our_o war_n with_o spain_n have_v make_v a_o great_a difference_n as_o to_o that_o matter_n because_o they_o can_v not_o have_v they_o but_o through_o the_o wide_a sea_n where_o they_o must_v be_v bring_v by_o we_o and_o we_o shall_v watch_v the_o conveyance_n of_o they_o the_o lord_n fiennes_n then_o fall_v upon_o the_o point_n of_o passport_n and_o say_v that_o if_o his_o excellency_n do_v pass_n not_o approve_v of_o the_o proposal_n for_o the_o commissioner_n for_o restitution_n to_o examine_v and_o determine_v all_o difference_n upon_o

in_o then_o the_o lord_n fiennes_n say_v that_o his_o highness_n and_o the_o council_n have_v likewise_o consider_v the_o rule_n which_o his_o excellency_n have_v propose_v for_o the_o commissioner_n for_o restitution_n of_o damage_n to_o walk_v by_o and_o do_v apprehend_v the_o same_o to_o be_v very_o unequal_a to_o make_v rule_n now_o for_o case_n that_o have_v be_v former_o adjudge_v and_o to_o give_v such_o regard_n to_o certificate_n to_o be_v now_o procure_v for_o matter_n long_v since_o past_a and_o say_v that_o either_o from_o some_o place_n in_o sweden_n or_o denmark_n or_o some_o of_o
