many_o fatherly_a favour_n which_o he_o have_v confer_v upon_o i_o as_o pious_a motive_n to_o retard_v my_o unripe_a year_n from_o hazardous_a travel_n in_o foreign_a part_n i_o have_v profess_v to_o his_o lordship_n that_o i_o can_v not_o with_o any_o content_a resolve_n to_o live_v in_o my_o native_a country_n since_o i_o first_o understand_v that_o young_a brother_n by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o

and_o then_o instance_a his_o acceptance_n of_o i_o for_o his_o servant_n at_o fifteen_o year_n of_o age_n upon_o my_o own_o address_n his_o clear_n all_o my_o debt_n three_o several_a time_n with_o

in_o the_o match_n say_v that_o if_o those_o real_a expression_n of_o his_o love_n can_v but_o find_v the_o due_a retalliation_n of_o my_o gratitude_n he_o may_v then_o assure_v himself_o of_o the_o

be_v no_o such_o injunction_n upon_o master_n in_o relation_n to_o their_o servant_n and_o therefore_o where_o a_o master_n pious_a bounty_n transcend_v a_o father_n natural_a love_n there_o that_o so_o oblige_a servant_n must_v appear_v most_o prodigious_o ingrateful_a which_o shall_v not_o with_o much_o zeal_n and_o faithfulness_n discharge_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o survive_a trust_n serious_o add_v this_o bushell_n i_o must_v now_o use_v you_o my_o intend_a instrument_n in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o my_o mineral_n design_n as_o politic_a prince_n do_v their_o near_a servant_n in_o their_o cabinet_n counsel_n who_o put_v their_o master_n conception_n into_o act_n if_o they_o take_v well_o with_o the_o people_n must_v own_v no_o more_o of_o they_o then_o the_o approbation_n thereof_o and_o the_o admiration_n of_o their_o prince_n wisdom_n therein_o but_o in_o case_n of_o miscarriage_n to_o salve_v their_o prince_n honour_n they_o must_v sad_o acknowledge_v the_o matter_n whole_o their_o own_o a_o error_n in_o their_o counsel_n and_o a_o crime_n in_o themselves_o so_o you_o if_o by_o my_o theory_n you_o prosper_v in_o your_o practic_n must_v attribute_v all_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o whole_a work_n to_o i_o if_o otherwise_o you_o must_v grateful_o preserve_v my_o reputation_n by_o acknowledge_v your_o own_o misfortune_n in_o mistake_v and_o misact_v my_o direction_n and_o so_o you_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o gain_v the_o title_n and_o character_n of_o a_o grateful_a servant_n in_o either_o event_n and_o upon_o my_o serious_a protestation_n that_o i_o will_v faithful_o and_o curious_o obey_v all_o his_o command_n concern_v his_o mineral_n direction_n and_o design_n his_o lordship_n first_o advise_v i_o not_o to_o follow_v the_o practice_n of_o our_o
