letter_n and_o paper_n concern_v some_o matter_n in_o the_o last_o parliament_n relate_v to_o the_o common_a right_n of_o all_o the_o communs_n of_o england_n fit_a to_o be_v consider_v in_o the_o

the_o nation_n in_o general_n or_o your_o particular_a county_n and_o therefore_o since_o you_o be_v ever_o long_o to_o have_v a_o new_a election_n of_o member_n of_o parliament_n i_o think_v sit_v to_o give_v you_o notice_n of_o some_o thing_n fit_a to_o be_v consider_v in_o relation_n to_o that_o business_n a_o business_n which_o deserve_v to_o be_v better_o consider_v by_o all_o the_o

say_v already_o be_v what_o do_v more_o especial_o concern_v your_o county_n that_o i_o shall_v here_o offer_v to_o your_o consideration_n the_o denial_n of_o justice_n have_v be_v always_o look_v upon_o as_o a_o great_a grievance_n in_o a_o king_n but_o a_o capital_a crime_n in_o a_o subject_n the_o preservation_n of_o our_o right_n and_o of_o the_o free_a course_n of_o justice_n be_v a_o

in_o the_o house_n but_o to_o repeat_v it_o out_o of_o the_o house_n in_o coffeehouse_n and_o tavern_n with_o so_o much_o vanity_n and_o so_o palpable_a falsity_n that_o the_o very_a perusal_n of_o these_o paper_n be_v sufficient_a to_o detect_v it_o and_o as_o give_v offence_n to_o diverse_a who_o hear_v he_o and_o make_v some_o think_v a_o little_a addition_n to_o his_o name_n at_o the_o end_n more_o proper_a for_o he_o than_o that_o before_o it_o i_o presume_v you_o know_v who_o be_v concern_v in_o the_o case_n and_o hope_v you_o will_v do_v at_o your_o county_n court_n what_o may_v be_v

profession_n of_o the_o law_n the_o true_a english_a government_n excellent_o compose_v of_o the_o three_o simple_a species_n monarchy_n aristocracy_n and_o democracy_n i_o have_v long_o think_v and_o still_o think_v to_o be_v in_o its_o constitution_n one_o of_o the_o best_a government_n in_o the_o world_n and_o not_o more_o excellent_a in_o itself_o than_o well_o accommodate_v to_o the_o genius_n of_o the_o people_n and_o which_o be_v but_o the_o consequence_n of_o these_o most_o easy_a to_o be_v exercise_v this_o i_o think_v very_o true_a though_o it_o have_v already_o within_o our_o memory_n

this_o do_v not_o proceed_v from_o the_o constitution_n but_o from_o other_o cause_n whereof_o one_o be_v secret_a the_o judgement_n of_o god_n for_o a_o secret_a root_n of_o bitterness_n little_o

corruption_n of_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o people_n another_o notorious_a corruption_n of_o their_o deputy_n and_o representative_n both_o in_o manner_n in_o general_a and_o in_o respect_n of_o justice_n and_o the_o trust_v repose_v in_o they_o in_o which_o respect_n i_o have_v know_v some_o of_o themselves_o laugh_v and_o say_v that_o they_o be_v the_o true_a representative_n of_o the_o
