of_o his_o former_a in_o advertency_n and_o miscarriage_n herein_o it_o be_v a_o unworthy_a and_o inbecoming_a action_n and_o sure_o i_o be_o no_o sober_a mind_n will_v do_v it_o inasmuch_o as_o there_o be_v a_o act_n of_o indemnity_n pass_v by_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_o to_o have_v all_o these_o thing_n bury_v in_o the_o ember_n of_o oblivion_n and_o forgetfulness_n and_o that_o they_o

and_o if_o in_o case_n they_o be_v in_o the_o same_o capacity_n they_o will_v never_o run_v again_o the_o same_o extreme_n and_o i_o can_v wish_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n that_o these_o book_n that_o

the_o objection_n lie_v herein_o viz._n that_o you_o have_v lay_v out_o so_o much_o money_n already_o upon_o the_o rebuild_n of_o your_o royal_a exchange_n and_o that_o in_o reason_n you_o ought_v

that_o this_o famous_a and_o most_o magnificent_a structure_n of_o the_o royal_a exchange_n be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o necessary_a and_o most_o public_a place_n that_o be_v build_v within_o your_o

i_o shall_v make_v it_o clear_o appear_v in_o manner_n and_o form_n as_o follow_v viz._n that_o it_o be_v as_o requisite_a and_o necessary_a but_o more_o especial_o in_o so_o famous_a and_o so_o

the_o future_a benefit_n and_o advantage_n which_o the_o whole_a body_n shall_v receive_v thereby_o as_o it_o be_v requisite_a and_o necessary_a that_o a_o shop_n keeper_n shall_v lay_v out_o 500_o

whereas_o you_o have_v build_v this_o place_n for_o the_o honour_n of_o his_o majesty_n so_o you_o have_v likewise_o make_v it_o more_o especial_o and_o in_o particular_a for_o the_o accommodation_n of_o the_o merchant_n and_o all_o other_o who_o have_v converse_v commerce_n and_o traffic_n with_o they_o for_o the_o advance_v of_o your_o trade_n for_o the_o enrich_n of_o your_o member_n and_o
