the_o service_n the_o greatness_n of_o the_o place_n which_o may_v sway_v much_o with_o some_o other_o but_o not_o with_o i_o who_o ambition_n be_v of_o a_o low_a stature_n i_o never_o affect_v

do_v with_o i_o 2._o the_o second_o motive_n for_o acceptance_n be_v the_o profit_n of_o the_o place_n and_o that_o be_v very_o considerable_a with_o most_o man_n i_o bless_v god_n he_o have_v give_v

mr._n speaker_n this_o be_v not_o so_o great_a a_o motive_n as_o it_o may_v be_v to_o other_o because_o those_o that_o know_v my_o course_n can_v testify_v that_o the_o benefit_n of_o my_o practice_n be_v more_o than_o the_o salary_n of_o this_o office_n though_o i_o acknowledge_v your_o bounty_n to_o your_o servant_n 3._o the_o three_o motive_n be_v the_o command_n which_o this_o great_a officer_n have_v over_o the_o person_n and_o fortune_n of_o man_n which_o be_v a_o please_a thing_n and_o much_o seek_v after_o by_o man_n in_o this_o world_n the_o spirit_n of_o domination_n be_v

of_o the_o service_n which_o be_v to_o do_v right_a and_o justice_n to_o man_n to_o relieve_v the_o oppress_v to_o serve_v god_n and_o to_o serve_v you_o and_o my_o country_n which_o will_v be_v do_v

other_o 1._o the_o first_o of_o these_o motive_n be_v the_o trouble_n of_o the_o place_n which_o have_v the_o great_a and_o most_o constant_a labour_n in_o it_o of_o any_o other_o place_n in_o

no_o easy_a duty_n for_o one_o man_n to_o attend_v the_o service_n of_o this_o house_n it_o be_v more_o than_o double_v by_o be_v a_o commissioner_n of_o the_o great_a seal_n whereof_o i_o have_v

second_o motive_n for_o my_o refusal_n be_v the_o danger_n of_o this_o employment_n through_o the_o envy_n of_o man_n more_o in_o these_o time_n than_o other_o and_o through_o the_o importance_n of_o

little_a danger_n 3._o the_o three_o motive_n be_v the_o difficulty_n of_o this_o employment_n some_o will_v labour_v to_o conceal_v or_o obscure_v the_o truth_n as_o much_o as_o eloquence_n learning_n and_o subtlety_n can_v invent_v and_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o discern_v the_o clear_a truth_n through_o these_o shadow_n the_o judge_n of_o the_o common_a law_n have_v certain_a rule_n to_o guide_v they_o a_o keeper_n of_o the_o seal_n have_v nothing_o but_o his_o own_o conscience_n to_o direct_v he_o and_o that_o be_v ofttimes_o deceitful_a the_o proceed_n in_o chancery_n be_v

of_o this_o employment_n which_o be_v 4._o my_o unfitness_n and_o want_n of_o ability_n to_o under_o go_v it_o i_o mention_v not_o my_o want_n of_o ability_n of_o body_n though_o this_o place_n

hold_v myself_o oblige_v to_o lay_v down_o my_o life_n to_o serve_v you_o i_o may_v more_o insist_v upon_o my_o want_n of_o ability_n of_o mind_n to_o perform_v this_o great_a charge_n and_o this_o be_v best_a know_v to_o myself_o though_o i_o confess_v it_o have_v be_v too_o much_o likewise_o discover_v to_o you_o both_o upon_o former_a occasion_n and_o at_o this_o persent_a and_o it_o be_v
