probable_a you_o have_v and_o keep_v forty_o servant_n and_o at_o length_n by_o your_o neglect_n and_o the_o industry_n and_o thrift_n of_o your_o domestic_n you_o sell_v one_o thousand_o to_o your_o

be_v all_o the_o militia_n of_o england_n beside_o the_o king_n ten_o part_n can_v it_o be_v believe_v that_o in_o those_o day_n the_o commons_o shall_v dislike_v any_o thing_n the_o lord_n do_v in_o

and_o although_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o do_v assemble_v to_o present_v their_o grievance_n yet_o all_o great_a affair_n of_o high_a importance_n concern_v the_o government_n be_v transact_v by_o

of_o war_n and_o invasion_n and_o this_o alone_a though_o there_o be_v no_o other_o decay_n in_o the_o government_n be_v enough_o to_o make_v the_o king_n depend_v upon_o his_o people_n which_o be_v

though_o it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o there_o be_v property_n in_o france_n and_o yet_o the_o government_n be_v despotical_a at_o this_o present_a yet_o it_o be_v one_o of_o those_o violent_a

a_o government_n be_v as_o i_o say_v violent_a and_o not_o natural_a but_o contrary_a to_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o people_n first_o can_v be_v last_v when_o the_o adventitious_a prop_n which_o

government_n when_o if_o i_o remember_v you_o do_v once_o to_o day_n extol_v the_o monarchy_n of_o the_o turk_n for_o well-founded_n and_o natural_a be_v not_o the_o people_n in_o that_o empire_n as_o much_o oppress_a as_o in_o france_n eng._n gent._n by_o no_o mean_n unless_o you_o will_v call_v it_o oppression_n for_o the_o grand_a signior_n to_o feed_v all_o his_o people_n out_o of_o the_o

and_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o it_o at_o all_o in_o this_o case_n i_o have_v tell_v you_o before_o that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o a_o senate_n and_o how_o short_a this_o government_n

may_v please_v to_o consider_v that_o all_o difference_n between_o the_o several_a part_n of_o any_o government_n come_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o interest_n now_o when_o this_o settlement_n be_v

pass_v or_o that_o the_o king_n by_o reject_v they_o may_v discontent_n his_o people_n to_o avoid_v which_o dilemma_n there_o need_v no_o more_o but_o to_o procure_v some_o person_n to_o prosecute_v his_o appeal_n before_o the_o lord_n some_o honest_a patriot_n afterward_o possible_o may_v use_v the_o same_o policy_n which_o they_o learn_v from_o the_o courtier_n to_o quash_n some_o bill_n very_o

equity_n that_o there_o be_v none_o among_o they_o but_o know_v we_o be_v almost_o destroy_v for_o want_n of_o it_o and_o when_o they_o have_v consider_v well_o and_o that_o some_o such_o

wish_v that_o even_o in_o the_o intermission_n of_o parliamentary_a session_n the_o whole_a peerage_n of_o england_n as_o many_o of_o they_o as_o can_v convenient_o be_v in_o town_n may_v sit_v in_o

or_o temptation_n to_o differ_v with_o the_o commons_o in_o any_o thing_n wherein_o the_o public_a good_a be_v concern_v but_o be_v oblige_v by_o all_o the_o tie_n in_o the_o world_n to_o run_v the_o
