we_o as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o common_a and_o general_a practice_n and_o hereon_o to_o ground_n in_o great_a part_n the_o heavy_a imputation_n that_o follow_v we_o shall_v oft_o meet_v with_o these_o

be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o do_v it_o ans_fw-fr 1._o this_o representation_n of_o the_o deputy_n as_o preresolved_a to_o oppose_v their_o majesty_n commission_n be_v unlimited_a and_o unprove_v and_o therefore_o as_o here_o and_o afterward_o improve_v be_v a_o evil_a surmise_n and_o asperse_v all_o the_o deputy_n and_o the_o whole_a colony_n and_o open_v a_o wide_a door_n to_o any_o such_o
