A58148	The revolution in New England justified and the people there vindicated from the aspersions cast upon them by Mr. John Palmer in his pretended answer to the declaration published by the inhabitants of Boston and the country adjacent, on the day when they secured their late oppressors, who acted by an illegal and arbitrary commission from the late King James.

by_o a_o charter_n upon_o such_o condition_n as_o be_v not_o perform_v and_o therefore_o all_o the_o land_n of_o new_a england_n have_v return_v to_o the_o king_n and_o that_o the_o attorney_n

to_o the_o same_o purpose_n i_o tell_v they_o that_o so_o far_o as_o i_o understand_v we_o receive_v only_o the_o right_n and_o power_n of_o government_n from_o the_o king_n charter_n within_o such_o
