what_o he_o can_v to_o uphold_v and_o defend_v the_o same_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v as_o many_o sad_a example_n in_o this_o land_n show_v that_o enormity_n have_v so_o long_o continue_v and_o

the_o same_o which_o otherwise_o will_v never_o have_v be_v do_v but_o where_o there_o be_v a_o free_a state_n you_o have_v no_o such_o inconvenience_n neither_o indeed_o be_v such_o abuse_n and_o

to_o put_v man_n into_o office_n so_o much_o for_o the_o public_a good_a as_o how_o to_o carry_v forth_o their_o own_o private_a interest_n 5._o this_o misery_n and_o mischief_n ordinary_o go_v
