it_o must_v be_v a_o new_a generation_n that_o will_v complain_v against_o they_o i_o have_v good_a reason_n to_o hope_v this_o will_v not_o if_o they_o have_v do_v and_o shall_v persevere_v to_o do_v according_a to_o the_o ordinance_n it_o be_v also_o provide_v by_o the_o ordinance_n that_o the_o register_n place_n shall_v not_o be_v execute_v by_o deputy_n which_o i_o hope_v no_o man_n will_v speak_v against_o for_o what_o reason_n be_v there_o that_o another_o person_n shall_v have_v a_o tribute_n out_o of_o the_o labour_n of_o man_n who_o spend_v a_o great_a part_n of_o their_o age_n in_o attain_v to_o ability_n in_o their_o profession_n and_o then_o take_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o pain_n to_o do_v the_o client_n business_n why_o shall_v the_o poor_a client_n pay_v for_o the_o sack_n and_o satin_n of_o another_o by_o who_o he_o receive_v no_o benefit_n and_o the_o allowance_n yield_v to_o the_o labourer_n there_o by_o the_o unnecessary_a ignorant_a officer_n so_o mean_v that_o if_o the_o client_n have_v not_o yield_v a_o supply_n there_o be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a recompense_n for_o the_o care_n and_o labour_v take_v by_o those_o that_o be_v deputy_n former_o but_o now_o stand_v on_o their_o own_o leg_n and_o sure_o i_o be_o that_o if_o the_o ordinance_n as_o concern_v the_o register_n be_v due_o and_o conscionable_o observe_v none_o will_v find_v fault_n but_o those_o person_n who_o without_o art_n or_o conscience_n will_v thrust_v themselves_o into_o place_n they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o execute_v the_o ordinance_n also_o provide_v well_o that_o the_o chief_a examiner_n do_v examine_v all_o the_o witness_n themselves_o and_o not_o by_o deputy_n as_o it_o seem_v they_o do_v the_o ordinance_n notwithstanding_o and_o if_o they_o be_v not_o able_a so_o to_o do_v either_o through_o their_o own_o incapacity_n or_o the_o multiplicity_n of_o business_n if_o the_o present_a examiner_n be_v remove_v or_o other_o of_o ability_n and_o honesty_n be_v add_v to_o they_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v not_o be_v a_o grievance_n worthy_a of_o any_o complaint_n the_o great_a cry_n against_o the_o ordinance_n under_o colour_n whereof_o the_o cashier_a officer_n have_v thrust_v in_o this_o head_n of_o their_o serpentine_a complaint_n be_v that_o the_o court_n must_v not_o relieve_v against_o new_a bond_n and_o that_o legacy_n shall_v be_v sue_v for_o at_o law_n i_o conceive_v that_o at_o the_o make_n of_o the_o ordinance_n a_o provision_n be_v intend_v in_o those_o case_n for_o a_o relief_n to_o be_v have_v at_o the_o common_a law_n but_o if_o upon_o second_o thought_n the_o chancery_n shall_v be_v think_v the_o fit_a court_n to_o give_v relief_n therein_o i_o wish_v the_o suitor_n speedy_a and_o just_a relief_n there_o likewise_o the_o fee_n be_v
