imagine_v to_o lurkin_a the_o breast_n of_o any_o one_o that_o bear_v the_o honourable_a name_n of_o a_o english_a man_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v that_o some_o be_v weary_a of_o their_o redeemer_n and_o like_o the_o discontent_a israelite_n murmur_n at_o their_o moses_n for_o the_o bread_n and_o water_n of_o arbitrary_a power_n and_o absolute_a government_n and_o such_o too_o who_o his_o present_a majesty_n of_o the_o abundance_n of_o his_o mercy_n have_v screen_v from_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o law_n and_o maintain_v by_o his_o bounty_n in_o the_o next_o place_n he_o endeavour_n by_o fair_a promise_n to_o persuade_v we_o to_o take_v the_o abdicated_a king_n again_o and_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o will_v restore_v we_o our_o ship_n and_o effect_n and_o reimburse_v the_o charge_n of_o the_o war._n here_o he_o promise_v the_o english_a subject_n what_o he_o can_v perform_v without_o prejudice_n to_o his_o own_o for_o most_o of_o the_o english_a ship_n take_v since_o the_o rupture_n be_v seize_v by_o the_o french_a privateer_n and_o not_o one_o moiety_n of_o the_o effect_n at_o his_o dispose_n beside_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o restore_v the_o effect_n as_o he_o find_v they_o most_o of_o the_o tobacco_n be_v ship_v off_o f●r_n ireland_n and_o if_o our_o merchant_n trust_n to_o his_o account_n of_o the_o sale_n of_o their_o good_n i_o be_o afraid_a their_o factor_n will_v take_v so_o much_o per_fw-la cent._n for_o his_o commission_n that_o the_o poor_a merchant_n will_v make_v but_o a_o lose_a voyage_n of_o it_o and_o so_o powerful_a a_o factor_n as_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v sue_v for_o a_o account_n at_o any_o one_o pleasure_n but_o i_o must_v needs_o acknowledge_v his_o kindness_n in_o the_o promise_n of_o reimburse_v our_o expense_n in_o the_o war_n

that_o if_o we_o shall_v comply_v with_o his_o proposal_n that_o he_o will_v serve_v we_o as_o our_o cheat_a trader_n do_v here_o get_v a_o letter_n of_o licence_n for_o time_n to_o pay_v their_o
