custos_fw-la rotulorum_fw-la of_o the_o country_n of_o surrey_n my_o lord_n when_o i_o petition_v your_o lordship_n to_o appoint_v the_o easter_n session_n at_o dorking_n i_o little_o expect_v the_o honour_n the_o gentleman_n on_o the_o bench_n be_v please_v to_o do_v i_o in_o choose_v i_o for_o their_o chairman_n but_o when_o i_o be_v force_v to_o submit_v to_o their_o command_n in_o accept_v a_o office_n for_o which_o i_o be_v so_o ill_o qualify_v i_o be_v extreme_o surprise_v at_o the_o unusual_a compliment_n the_o grand_a jury_n first_o and_o then_o the_o court_n make_v i_o in_o desire_v i_o to_o publish_v the_o charge_n i_o give_v they_o all_o the_o importunity_n i_o can_v use_v prove_v insufficient_a to_o excuse_v i_o from_o appear_v thus_o in_o public_a and_o i_o be_v force_v out_o of_o deference_n to_o their_o judgement_n and_o obedience_n to_o their_o order_n though_o with_o the_o great_a reluctance_n to_o execute_v on_o myself_o a_o sentence_n so_o severe_a for_o though_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o these_o paper_n that_o a_o honest_a man_n need_v be_v ashamed_a of_o yet_o the_o world_n will_v be_v apt_a to_o judge_v of_o they_o not_o according_a to_o the_o sincerity_n of_o the_o author_n but_o the_o exactness_n of_o the_o performance_n and_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v wit_n and_o eloquence_n sense_n and_o judgement_n as_o well_o as_o a_o good_a intention_n in_o those_o that_o appear_v in_o print_n i_o be_o sensible_a my_o lord_n how_o deficient_a i_o be_o in_o the_o first_o mention_v qualification_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o beg_v your_o lordship_n protection_n for_o this_o discourse_n and_o indeed_o whether_o i_o consider_v your_o lordship_n as_o a_o zealous_a patron_n of_o religion_n and_o vertae_n or_o as_o a_o true_a friend_n to_o the_o interest_n of_o your_o country_n and_o by_o consequence_n entire_o devote_v to_o their_o majesty_n service_n or_o whether_o i_o consider_v the_o high_a office_n your_o lordship_n so_o deserve_o enjoy_v in_o this_o county_n and_o the_o obligation_n i_o owe_v your_o lordship_n for_o honour_v i_o with_o your_o friendship_n in_o all_o these_o respect_n my_o lord_n there_o can_v be_v no_o person_n so_o fit_a as_o your_o lordship_n to_o defend_v the_o follow_a sheet_n from_o the_o censure_n of_o atheistical_a libertine_n and_o seditious_a malcontent_n if_o we_o be_v to_o judge_v of_o the_o strength_n of_o these_o two_o party_n by_o their_o clamour_n and_o their_o positiveness_n in_o what_o they_o assert_v than_o religion_n virtue_n and_o loyalty_n may_v just_o be_v apprehensive_a of_o they_o as_o dangerous_a and_o formidable_a enemy_n but_o those_o argument_n have_v need_n be_v irrefragable_a that_o can_v persuade_v a_o man_n of_o sense_n either_o that_o wickedness_n and_o goodness_n be_v of_o the_o same_o intrinseck_n value_v and_o equal_o eligible_a or_o that_o a_o despotic_a monarchy_n be_v preferable_a to_o the_o excellent_a model_n of_o our_o english_a government_n and_o though_o they_o be_v master_n of_o as_o much_o wit_n and_o art_n as_o the_o epicurean_a poet_n or_o the_o malmsbury_n philosopher_n who_o dictate_v they_o for_o the_o most_o part_n copy_n after_o yet_o principle_n that_o be_v in_o themselves_o false_a and_o beside_o that_o undermine_v the_o public_a security_n and_o destroy_v the_o private_a happiness_n of_o mankind_n must_v never_o hope_v to_o be_v general_o entertain_v unless_o they_o have_v better_a recommendation_n than_o superficial_a sophistry_n and_o smooth_a language_n but_o my_o lord_n it_o be_v the_o proper_a business_n of_o a_o dedication_n to_o be_v on_o the_o defensive_a and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v not_o engage_v myself_o any_o far_a in_o this_o quarrel_n i_o have_v only_o this_o to_o say_v in_o behalf_n of_o myself_o that_o whoever_o think_v i_o have_v prostitute_v my_o pen_n either_o to_o revenge_n covetousness_n or_o ambition_n be_v very_o much_o mistake_v for_o as_o i_o never_o receive_v any_o personal_a affront_n or_o injury_n from_o the_o last_o government_n so_o neither_o do_v i_o expect_v or_o hope_v for_o any_o profitable_a employment_n or_o great_a place_n under_o the_o present_a but_o be_o as_o free_a on_o the_o one_o hand_n from_o malice_n as_o i_o be_o on_o the_o other_o from_o flattery_n by_o this_o the_o world_n may_v see_v i_o have_v no_o private_a aim_n but_o have_v sincere_o and_o free_o declare_v the_o genuine_a and_o vnbyast_o dictate_v of_o my_o reason_n and_o these_o i_o presume_v to_o shelter_v under_o your_o lordship_n patronage_n and_o since_o i_o have_v be_v as_o it_o be_v force_v to_o print_v these_o paper_n it_o be_v no_o small_a comfort_n to_o i_o that_o i_o have_v thereby_o a_o opportunity_n public_o to_o own_o your_o
