elector_n than_o to_o press_v you_o to_o be_v for_o a_o man_n that_o in_o your_o conscience_n you_o think_v not_o sit_v or_o not_o so_o sit_v as_o his_o competitor_n for_o so_o weighty_a a_o trust_n man_n do_v use_v to_o lend_v their_o wife_n or_o give_v their_o child_n to_o satisfy_v personal_a kindness_n nor_o ought_v you_o to_o make_v a_o swop_n of_o your_o birthright_n and_o that_o of_o your_o posterity_n too_o for_o a_o mess_n of_o pottage_n a_o feast_n or_o a_o lusty_a drink_n about_o there_o can_v be_v no_o proportion_n here_o and_o therefore_o none_o must_v take_v it_o ill_a that_o you_o use_v your_o freedom_n about_o that_o which_o in_o its_o constitution_n be_v the_o great_a bulwark_n of_o all_o your_o ancient_a liberty_n last_o as_o for_o you_o citizen_n burgess_n and_o freeman_n of_o city_n and_o corporation_n in_o parcicular_a i_o shall_v only_o say_v that_o whosoever_o be_v not_o sit_v to_o be_v choose_v knight_n of_o the_o shire_n be_v likewise_o unfit_a to_o be_v choose_v a_o burgess_n neither_o let_v the_o more_o specious_a pretence_n of_o any_o man_n that_o shall_v promise_v to_o build_v a_o town_n hall_n and_o relieve_v your_o poor_a with_o money_n or_o out_o of_o his_o adjacent_a wood_n or_o any_o such_o good-morrow_n deceive_v you_o for_o if_o so_o wherein_o be_v you_o wise_a than_o your_o horse_n who_o you_o catch_v every_o day_n and_o clap_v a_o bridle_n into_o their_o mouth_n only_o by_o show_v they_o a_o few_o oat_n which_o they_o be_v never_o like_a to_o eat_v even_o the_o very_a mouse_n be_v too_o wise_a to_o be_v take_v by_o a_o old_a bait_n but_o will_v have_v the_o trap_n new_o bait_v before_o they_o will_v meddle_v and_o yet_o i_o have_v know_v a_o corporation_n which_o have_v be_v take_v twice_o with_o one_o bait._n but_o suppose_v these_o man_n do_v real_o perform_v what_o they_o promise_v what_o compensation_n be_v that_o if_o the_o same_o man_n shall_v lay_v a_o good_a swing_a tax_n upon_o your_o estate_n without_o any_o real_a cause_n or_o shall_v give_v up_o the_o very_a power_n you_o have_v of_o tax_v yourselves_o for_o send_v your_o representative_n in_o parliament_n for_o one_o bad_a parliament_n may_v ruin_v we_o what_o good_a will_v the_o money_n for_o your_o poor_a do_v in_o such_o a_o case_n more_o than_o that_o when_o you_o be_v reduce_v to_o beggary_n you_o may_v perhaps_o yourselves_o the_o gentry_n of_o the_o country_n have_v no_o reason_n to_o relieve_v you_o be_v find_v to_o come_v in_o for_o a_o small_a share_n of_o this_o your_o hypocritical_a charity_n a_o excellent_a reward_n for_o knavish_a folly_n neither_o say_v oh_o this_o be_v but_o one_o man_n and_o can_v have_v but_o one_o vote_n he_o will_v do_v our_o town_n a_o great_a deal_n of_o good_a and_o can_v do_v we_o but_o little_a hurt_n if_o he_o will_v and_o one_a as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o one_o or_o two_o voice_n have_v sometime_o carry_v a_o vote_n of_o great_a importance_n 2._o you_o know_v not_o what_o mischief_n your_o bad_a example_n may_v do_v in_o other_o corporation_n and_o if_o all_o shall_v do_v so_o what_o a_o miserable_a case_n will_v you_o be_v in_o since_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o borough_n make_v two_o three_o of_o the_o house_n no_o man_n can_v tell_v the_o influence_n that_o one_o run_v talkative_a ill_a man_n may_v get_v over_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o
