before_o i_o leave_v england_n i_o have_v be_v in_o a_o station_n of_o great_a noise_n without_o power_n or_o advantage_n whilst_o i_o be_v in_o it_o and_o to_o my_o ruin_n now_o i_o be_o out_o of_o it_o i_o know_v i_o can_v justify_v myself_o by_o say_v though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o i_o think_v to_o have_v prevent_v much_o mischief_n for_o when_o i_o find_v that_o i_o can_v not_o i_o ought_v to_o have_v quit_v the_o service_n neither_o be_v it_o a_o excuse_n that_o have_v get_v none_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o usual_o engage_v man_n in_o public_a affair_n my_o quality_n be_v the_o

so_o much_o as_o if_o i_o have_v increase_v it_o by_o indirect_a mean_n but_o to_o go_v on_o to_o what_o you_o expect_v the_o pretence_n to_o a_o dispense_v power_n be_v not_o only_o the_o first_o thing_n which_o be_v much_o dislike_v since_o the_o death_n of_o the_o late_a king_n but_o the_o foundation_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n i_o ought_v to_o begin_v with_o that_o which_o i_o have_v so_o

i_o think_v every_o body_n advise_v he_o against_o it_o but_o with_o little_a effect_n as_o be_v soon_o see_v that_o party_n be_v so_o please_v with_o what_o the_o king_n have_v do_v that_o they_o

it_o do_v give_v such_o offence_n to_o the_o parliament_n that_o it_o be_v think_v necessary_a to_o prorogue_v it_o after_o which_o the_o king_n fall_v immediate_o to_o the_o support_v the_o dispense_v power_n the_o most_o chimerical_a thing_n that_o be_v ever_o think_v of_o and_o must_v be_v so_o till_o the_o government_n here_o be_v as_o absolute_a as_o in_o turkey_n all_o power_n be_v include_v in_o that_o one_o this_o be_v the_o sense_n i_o ever_o have_v of_o it_o and_o when_o i_o hear_v lawyer_n defend_v it_o i_o never_o change_v my_o opinion_n or_o language_n however_o it_o go_v

in_o which_o there_o be_v so_o many_o considerable_a man_n of_o several-kind_n i_o can_v have_v but_o a_o small_a part_n and_o that_o after_o lawyer_n have_v tell_v the_o king_n it_o be_v legal_a and_o nothing_o like_o the_o high_a commission_n court_n i_o can_v most_o true_o say_v and_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o for_o a_o good_a while_o i_o defend_v magdalen_n college_n pure_o by_o
