spirit_n i_o bemoan_v she_o and_o wish_v all_o that_o know_v she_o with_o i_o to_o bewail_v she_o and_o to_o set_v to_o their_o help_a hand_n and_o heart_n and_o to_o implore_v some_o mean_n from_o the_o great_a and_o good_a god_n of_o heaven_n who_o be_v both_o able_a and_o willing_a to_o help_v for_o her_o recovery_n and_o establishment_n in_o her_o perfection_n which_o be_v i_o conceive_v

to_o this_o common_a wealth_n of_o england_n but_o which_o be_v most_o of_o all_o it_o will_v much_o enlarge_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o propagate_v the_o gospel_n to_o the_o natve_v all_o

in_o this_o answ_n truth_n it_o be_v their_o patent_n be_v grant_v from_o the_o grand_a governor_n of_o this_o common_a wealth_n for_o the_o time_n then_o be_v who_o grant_n i_o conceive_v be_v good_a
