we_o consider_v those_o maxim_n that_o be_v use_v and_o also_o necessary_a in_o our_o government_n that_o be_v that_o only_o a_o few_o be_v to_o be_v admit_v into_o the_o council_n for_o private_a

against_o the_o enemy_n may_v be_v keep_v secret_a and_o not_o divulge_v and_o bring_v to_o the_o ear_n of_o the_o enemy_n which_o private_a consultation_n be_v well_o observe_v by_o the_o council_n pensionary_a who_o permit_v his_o creature_n to_o be_v of_o the_o privy_a council_n and_o exclude_v several_a good_a patriot_n who_o his_o excellency_n judge_v will_v oppose_v he_o in_o the_o carry_v

which_o undoubted_o will_v be_v inflict_v on_o several_a of_o the_o supreme_a governor_n which_o have_v so_o long_o manage_v the_o helm_n of_o our_o government_n can_v be_v effect_v without_o fear_n of_o great_a inconvenience_n to_o this_o state_n which_o in_o this_o conjuncture_n must_v by_o all_o mean_v possible_a be_v prevent_v those_o that_o please_v to_o read_v the_o history_n of_o barneve●t_n will_v find_v that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v do_v without_o great_a difficulty_n which_o necessary_o ought_v to_o be_v divert_v and_o refer_v till_o some_o other_o and_o more_o convenient_a time_n when_o either_o all_o thing_n may_v be_v bury_v in_o oblivion_n or_o else_o the_o traitor_n condemn_v to_o lose_v their_o head_n for_o betray_v our_o native_a country_n as_o the_o lord_n magistrate_n shall_v think_v fit_a and_o therefore_o be_v it_o not_o abominable_a that_o private_a person_n dare_v daily_o presume_v to_o do_v justice_n nay_o to_o inflict_v sufficient_a

this_o delay_n of_o punish_v the_o traitor_n fear_v that_o if_o the_o treachery_n go_v unpunished_a the_o state_n will_v be_v leave_v in_o a_o great_a labyrinth_n and_o in_o danger_n of_o be_v whole_o deliver_v up_o into_o the_o enemy_n hand_n because_o when_o those_o wicked_a traitor_n be_v accuse_v of_o their_o villainy_n and_o see_v as_o it_o be_v their_o punishment_n before_o their_o eye_n they_o will_v use_v all_o mean_n possible_a to_o make_v more_o and_o more_o confusion_n in_o the_o financie_n of_o which_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o great_a complaint_n and_o increase_v all_o other_o

the_o loyal_a patriot_n be_v not_o without_o some_o reason_n since_o a_o eminent_a person_n be_v yesterday_o please_v to_o tell_v i_o that_o if_o in_o case_n the_o confusion_n in_o the_o fi●ancie_n
