indispensible_o to_o use_v their_o utmost_a endeavour_n for_o the_o full_a accomplish_v his_o royal_a purpose_n 4._o whether_o the_o save_a those_o immense_a sum_n of_o money_n as_o aforesaid_a will_v not_o settle_v the_o mind_n of_o their_o majesty_n good_a subject_n and_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o most_o disloyal_a and_o restless_a spirit_n who_o raise_v animosity_n among_o we_o and_o

of_o dangerous_a consequence_n to_o the_o government_n 6._o whether_o it_o will_v not_o be_v for_o their_o majesty_n and_o the_o nation_n be_v interest_n to_o advance_v person_n to_o place_n of_o trust_n according_a to_o their_o merit_n and_o not_o permit_v those_o to_o be_v discountenance_v and_o to_o labour_v under_o difficulty_n who_o expose_v fraud_n and_o extravagancy_n and_o propose_v proper_a remedy_n for_o the_o cure_n of_o those_o evil_n and_o whether_o the_o brow-beating_a and_o discourage_a those_o who_o endeavour_n to_o make_v such_o discovery_n be_v not_o a_o effectual_a
