return_v home_o and_o apply_v myself_o to_o the_o gentleman_n from_o who_o i_o have_v the_o pass_n and_o the_o hundred_o pound_n to_o know_v the_o reason_n why_o i_o be_v so_o use_v and_o who_o the_o person_n be_v that_o commission_v he_o to_o transact_v he_o tell_v i_o that_o be_v a_o secret_a he_o must_v keep_v and_o very_o much_o excuse_v himself_o for_o have_v engage_v i_o in_o so_o much_o trouble_v and_o danger_n this_o be_v all_o the_o satisfaction_n i_o have_v from_o he_o the_o management_n of_o this_o affair_n however_o mysterious_a it_o may_v seem_v may_v perhaps_o need_v no_o oedipus_n to_o unriddle_v it_o for_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o time_n when_o this_o be_v do_v the_o reason_n why_o will_v not_o be_v hard_a to_o be_v guess_v at_o nor_o perhaps_o will_v the_o person_n who_o have_v presume_v to_o make_v so_o bold_a with_o the_o king_n honour_n as_o to_o abuse_v his_o royal_a name_n and_o authority_n in_o this_o manner_n be_v so_o absolute_o in_o the_o

the_o country_n with_o a_o full_a resolution_n to_o lay_v my_o case_n before_o the_o parliament_n which_o be_v then_o sit_v i_o have_v give_v a_o petition_n to_o a_o member_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o in_o order_n to_o have_v it_o read_v in_o the_o house_n but_o during_o the_o time_n he_o keep_v i_o in_o expectation_n of_o a_o proper_a occasion_n this_o gentleman_n be_v gain_v by_o some_o body_n who_o interest_n perhaps_o it_o be_v that_o these_o matter_n shall_v not_o be_v so_o public_o examine_v to_o make_v overture_n to_o i_o of_o serve_v abroad_o and_o become_v the_o instrument_n of_o send_v i_o out_o of_o the_o nation_n under_o pretence_n of_o do_v further_o service_n and_o receive_v satisfaction_n for_o what_o be_v pass_v that_o gentleman_n must_v excuse_v i_o if_o i_o can_v no_o long_o think_v that_o the_o king_n be_v any_o way_n privy_a to_o this_o affair_n and_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v pretend_v of_o it_o be_v a_o direct_a affront_n and_o injury_n to_o his_o majesty_n

of_o my_o adversary_n appear_v plain_a enough_o in_o this_o intrigue_n and_o the_o hundred_o pound_n be_v a_o bait_n to_o make_v i_o swallow_v the_o hook_n for_o no_o soon_o do_v they_o think_v i_o far_o enough_o remove_v and_o perhaps_o entangle_v beyond_o a_o probability_n of_o return_v but_o the_o masque_n be_v pull_v of_o and_o a_o worse_a face_n discover_v i_o be_v bid_v to_o expect_v nothing_o more_o and_o to_o shift_v for_o myself_o as_o well_o as_o i_o can_v however_o to_o their_o great_a surprise_n i_o get_v home_o before_o the_o parliament_n rise_v which_o put_v they_o upon_o new_a measure_n great_a pain_n be_v take_v to_o excuse_v this_o breach_n of_o article_n and_o fresh_a overture_n make_v to_o i_o with_o which_o i_o who_o trust_v to_o the_o sincerity_n and_o engagement_n of_o my_o friend_n be_v for_o some_o time_n amuse_v till_o the_o parliament_n rise_v all_o be_v again_o let_v drop_n and_o i_o by_o that_o mean_n let_v into_o the_o drift_n and_o artifice_n of_o the_o whole_a matter_n i_o hope_v my_o friend_n be_v overreach_v and_o that_o he_o do_v not_o then_o dive_v into_o the_o bottom_n of_o this_o mystery_n although_o he_o be_v to_o
