when_o those_o that_o never_o serve_v the_o king_n one_o hour_n be_v prefer_v over_o their_o head_n it_o be_v far_a observable_a that_o the_o master_n of_o such_o merchant-ship_n as_o have_v be_v

they_o boast_v of_o the_o discipline_n of_o the_o navy_n as_o a_o thing_n excel_v that_o of_o former_a age_n in_o defiance_n to_o public_a opinion_n and_o the_o result_v of_o the_o mature_a debate_n of_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o nation_n yet_o upon_o this_o account_n have_v the_o enemy_n of_o the_o government_n no_o occasion_n to_o reflect_v upon_o it_o no_o more_o than_o the_o husbandman_n be_v to_o be_v blame_v for_o the_o numerous_a quantity_n of_o weed_n that_o spring_v up_o among_o his_o wheat_n the_o king_n never_o give_v his_o commission_n to_o the_o officer_n of_o the_o navy_n to_o
