willing_o submit_v to_o leysler_n authority_n but_o stubborn_o reject_v the_o king_n commission_n and_o defy_v his_o lieutenant_n two_o if_o we_o renounce_v the_o king_n ànd_v his_o government_n we_o destroy_v our_o own_o we_o can_v pretend_v to_o any_o thing_n but_o from_o and_o under_o the_o king_n and_o how_o can_v we_o demand_v or_o expect_v that_o other_o shall_v obey_v we_o if_o we_o will_v not_o obey_v the_o king_n all_o loyal_a subject_n may_v just_o be_v afraid_a of_o have_v to_o do_v with_o we_o for_o such_o obedience_n be_v indeed_o unlawful_a three_o we_o can_v think_v that_o our_o government_n shall_v always_o shoulder_v out_o the_o king_n government_n and_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o their_o majesty_n have_v long_o have_v the_o settlement_n of_o the_o government_n of_o these_o territory_n under_o consideration_n the_o defence_n of_o the_o dominion_n be_v their_o majesty_n great_a interest_n and_o care_n it_o be_v obvious_a to_o every_o eye_n that_o we_o be_v divide_v from_o the_o massachuset_n at_o sea_n by_o the_o shoal_n and_o at_o land_n by_o a_o great_a distance_n and_o that_o connecticut_n and_o york_n by_o their_o natural_a situation_n lie_v much_o fair_a than_o connecticut_n and_o the_o massachuset_n for_o the_o defence_n of_o each_o other_o and_o in_o particular_a of_o albany_n that_o key_n of_o the_o country_n à_fw-la post_fw-la necessary_a to_o be_v defend_v and_o by_o the_o defence_n whereof_o we_o defend_v ourselves_o and_o this_o be_v lay_v as_o the_o ground_n of_o their_o majesty_n dispose_n of_o the_o militia_n in_o this_o commission_n it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o appoint_v or_o dictate_v to_o their_o majesty_n but_o to_o acquiese_v in_o their_o majesty_n wisdom_n and_o goodness_n in_o that_o behalf_n on_o who_o we_o may_v rely_v be_v assure_v that_o they_o will_v do_v that_o which_o shàll_a be_v best_a for_o we_o four_o we_o may_v remember_v also_o that_o whereas_o their_o majesty_n do_v the_o last_o year_n give_v a_o commission_n to_o sir_n william_n phips_n their_o governor_n of_o the_o massachuset_n we_o have_v then_o the_o same_o jealoûsie_n of_o be_v annex_v to_o the_o massachuset_n and_o will_v not_o submit_v to_o that_o commission_n nor_o take_v notice_n of_o sir_n william_n in_o that_o capacity_n whereby_o to_o make_v the_o fair_a construction_n of_o it_o that_o may_v be_v their_o majesty_n may_v very_o well_o conclude_v that_o we_o be_v not_o desirous_a to_o be_v annex_v to_o the_o massachuset_n but_o have_v rather_o be_v annex_v to_o york_n às_o be_v far_o more_o convenient_a howbeit_o we_o may_v well_o look_v upon_o this_o commission_n as_o the_o consequent_a of_o our_o non-submission_n to_o sir_n william_n phips_n it_o be_v their_o majesty_n grace_n so_o far_o to_o overlook_a that_o disobedience_n if_o now_o we_o shall_v finanl_o reject_v the_o second_o the_o third_z may_v bring_v a_o great_a inconvenience_n than_o any_o we_o can_v imagine_v to_o follow_v upon_o our_o be_v annex_v to_o york_n 5th_o the_o regal_a and_o chief_a government_n do_v not_o belong_v to_o we_o the_o most_o that_o we_o can_v pretend_v to_o be_v but_o that_o of_o a_o corporation_n the_o regal_a government_n be_v the_o king_n be_v and_o their_o majesty_n may_v commit_v it_o here_o or_o there_o as_o please_v they_o and_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o submit_v and_o which_o i_o pray_v be_v the_o most_o likely_a way_n to_o preserve_v our_o government_n obedience_n or_o disobedience_n 6_o object_n but_o if_o we_o be_v annex_v to_o york_n we_o shall_v have_v great_a rate_n to_o pay_v and_o be_v grievous_o oppress_v the_o long-islander_n complain_v that_o they_o be_v intolerable_o oppress_v by_o this_o governor_n answ_n one_a we_o have_v a_o friend_n in_o the_o country_n that_o have_v tell_v the_o world_n that_o this_o be_v a_o land_n full_a of_o lie_n and_o i_o wish_v it_o be_v not_o true_a howbeit_o malcontent_n will_v never_o want_v complaint_n true_a or_o false_a two_o the_o governor_n neither_o do_v nor_o can_v impose_v any_o rate_n upon_o they_o there_o be_v none_o levy_v but_o what_o their_o assembly_n of_o the_o freeholders_n see_v needful_a for_o defray_v the_o necessary_a charge_n three_o that_o small_a province_n of_o new-york_n have_v have_v beside_o other_o arrear_n the_o burden_n of_o the_o defence_n of_o albany_n so_o long_o lie_v main_o upon_o they_o alone_o by_o which_o their_o rate_n no_o doubt_n have_v be_v much_o more_o heavy_a than_o otherwise_o they_o will_v have_v be_v but_o have_v not_o we_o great_a rate_n to_o pay_v also_o now_o as_o we_o be_v stand_v alone_o and_o how_o do_v it_o appear_v that_o their_o rate_n be_v great_a than_o we_o if_o that_o màtter_n be_v well_o examine_v possible_o it_o may_v be_v find_v thàt_v our_o rate_n be_v as_o great_a if_o not_o great_a than_o they_o and_o yet_o we_o have_v have_v no_o such_o burden_n incumbent_n upon_o we_o how_o many_o thousand_o of_o pound_n have_v be_v raise_v upon_o this_o

still_o especial_o as_o long_o as_o the_o war_n last_v we_o volûntary_o take_v upon_o we_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o upper_a town_n belong_v to_o the_o massachuset_n upon_o this_o river_n which_o appertain_v not_o to_o we_o the_o king_n by_o his_o letter_n command_v assistance_n of_o man_n and_o money_n to_o his_o governor_n of_o york_n and_o we_o seem_v willing_a to_o comply_v with_o that_o but_o these_o thing_n must_v of_o necessity_n augment_v our_o rate_n as_o much_o if_o not_o more_o than_o our_o annexion_n to_o york_n if_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o 5thly_a if_o we_o shall_v be_v annex_v to_o the_o massachuset_n shall_v we_o not_o have_v as_o great_a rate_n to_o pay_v as_o if_o we_o be_v annex_v to_o york_n or_o great_a do_v not_o they_o complain_v as_o much_o as_o the_o other_o or_o rather_o more_o and_o we_o have_v see_v something_o of_o it_o too_o so_o that_o this_o be_v but_o a_o common_a objectïon_n for_o look_v which_o way_n we_o will_v whether_o we_o be_v

way_n to_o make_v great_a rate_n and_o if_o by_o any_o way_n they_o may_v be_v less_o than_o other_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v by_o our_o annexion_n to_o york_n many_o hand_n make_v light_a work_n and_o many_o occasion_n whereby_o much_o money_n be_v now_o expend_v to_o little_a purpose_n will_v by_o that_o mean_n be_v take_v away_o 6thly_a let_v we_o do_v our_o duty_n and_o let_v the_o skey_n fall_n these_o be_v but_o empty_a scarecrow_n contrive_v on_o purpose_n to_o fright_v man_n from_o their_o duty_n and_o let_v we_o have_v their_o majesty_n government_n law_n and_o justice_n and_o let_v it_o

who_o know_v when_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o child_n will_v have_v do_v lie_v and_o slander_v his_o excellency_n may_v much_o better_o say_v of_o we_o he_o desire_v not_o to_o be_v set_v over_o such_o a_o rude_a proud_a vngoverned_a and_o disorderly_a people_n as_o we_o have_v declare_v ourselves_o to_o be_v and_o true_o it_o argue_v but_o a_o bad_a cause_n that_o can_v be_v maintain_v

such_o like_a none_o but_o a_o son_n of_o belial_n will_v put_v such_o nickname_n upon_o it_o we_o ought_v to_o know_v that_o the_o king_n captain_n general_n be_v a_o great_a man_n abner_n be_v

to_o the_o sight_n of_o some_o and_o whereas_o by_o the_o publicàtion_n of_o this_o their_o majesty_n commission_n all_o former_a military_a commission_n be_v express_o determine_v hereupon_o arise_v a_o question_n and_o doubt_v whether_o we_o have_v best_a to_o muster_v and_o call_v man_n to_o arm_n for_o military_a exercise_n as_o former_o yet_o upon_o deliberation_n it_o be_v resolve_v upon_o

have_v take_v upon_o we_o to_o create_v a_o major_a too_o thus_o we_o make_v all_o the_o defiance_n to_o their_o majesty_n and_o their_o commission_n trample_v they_o into_o the_o very_a dirt_n and_o offend_v with_o as_o high_a a_o hand_n as_o be_v well_o possible_a for_o we_o to_o do_v this_o be_v the_o entertainment_n that_o their_o majesty_n authority_n find_v in_o connecticut_n and_o thus_o we_o ethink_v we_o have_v neat_o and_o effectual_o defeat_v their_o majesty_n commission_n but_o we_o have_v need_v to_o consider_v it_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o people_n as_o be_v ùsual_a in_o such_o case_n that_o be_v guilty_a of_o this_o error_n some_o there_o be_v of_o factious_a and_o turbulent_a spirit_n and_o such_o as_o be_v pre-engaged_n by_o their_o male-feazances_a or_o other_o personal_a interest_n and_o these_o two_o witting_o err_v themselves_o amnd_v out_o of_o design_n mislead_v other_o other_o again_o there_o be_v and_o i_o will_v hope_v the_o most_o that_o àre_o plain_a honest_a mind_a man_n who_o pin_v their_o faith_n upon_o other_o man_n sleeve_n and_o be_v delude_v by_o divers_a artifices_fw-la industrious_o use_v for_o that_o purpose_n do_v think_v the_o

therefore_o think_v they_o must_v and_o aught_o to_o follow_v they_o and_o do_v as_o they_o do_v thus_o it_o be_v in_o absalom_n rebellion_n 2_o sam._n 15._o 11._o with_o absalon_n go_v two_o

when_o the_o poor_a man_n come_v upon_o their_o trial_n and_o hàd_v their_o eye_n open_a to_o see_v what_o they_o have_v do_v they_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v for_o themselves_o but_o to_o confess_v

the_o former_a sort_n seem_v to_o be_v desperate_a there_o be_v little_a hope_n of_o bring_v they_o to_o better_a thought_n for_o the_o latter_a sort_n therefore_o this_o essay_n be_v chief_o intend_v
