the_o diversity_n of_o success_n in_o these_o two_o commonwealth_n have_v spring_v from_o this_o diversity_n of_o institution_n and_o from_o so_o many_o accident_n and_o not_o from_o any_o one_o

whereby_o they_o may_v seem_v to_o reproach_v the_o counsel_n of_o those_o wise_a and_o stout_a senator_n who_o have_v then_o the_o manage_n of_o public_a affair_n in_o their_o hand_n for_o those_o
