common_a people_n will_v as_o willing_o and_o readely_a offer_n themselves_o and_o their_o money_n for_o we_o and_o press_v the_o state_n for_o permission_n as_o we_o offer_v ourselves_o and_o our_o

for_o i_o know_v the_o common_a people_n believe_v and_o give_v it_o out_o for_o a_o manifest_a truth_n as_o man_n that_o will_v believe_v no_o better_o how_o that_o royal_a payer_n with_o their_o

commonweal_n be_v incapable_a of_o this_o power_n to_o confer_v honour_n i_o see_v among_o the_o roman_n several_a reward_n and_o honour_n of_o all_o sort_n distribute_v free_o and_o constant_o to_o the_o best_a deserver_n thereby_o to_o encourage_v all_o of_o every_o rank_n high_a and_o low_a the_o witty_a and_o valiant_a in_o their_o several_a kind_n to_o do_v their_o best_a and_o to_o

as_o the_o roman_a command_n and_o power_n itself_o which_o tutch_v almost_o the_o world_n circumference_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o petty_a commonweal_n who_o act_n seem_v therefore_o to_o

but_o a_o public_a acknowledgement_n and_o respect_n within_o the_o unite_a province_n or_o wheresoever_o they_o have_v power_n or_o command_v this_o they_o have_v power_n to_o confer_v as_o we_o

of_o his_o merit_n some_o title_n or_o note_n of_o honour_n some_o previledge_n or_o extraordinary_a respect_n and_o allowance_n think_v it_o go_v no_o far_a than_o within_o
