of_o the_o land_n and_o i_o be_o here_o behold_v by_o those_o that_o plead_v for_o their_o liberty_n and_o i_o hope_v i_o be_o pity_v because_o i_o here_o give_v up_o myself_o willing_o and_o free_o

the_o people_n of_o england_n though_o i_o have_v no_o knowledge_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o i_o have_v instruction_n from_o those_o that_o be_v learn_v in_o the_o law_n and_o have_v several_a lawcase_n and_o precedent_n put_v into_o my_o hand_n though_o not_o by_o they_o and_o urge_v several_a lawcase_n and_o make_v my_o appeal_n first_o for_o the_o judicature_n that_o i_o be_v to_o be_v try_v by_o whether_o it_o be_v according_a to_o law_n whether_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o act_n and_o whether_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o say_a act_n i_o do_v appeal_v to_o have_v

in_o effect_n the_o former_a the_o title_n be_v mistake_v yet_o because_o the_o title_n be_v mistake_v and_o no_o answer_n give_v therefore_o it_o be_v that_o another_o petition_n be_v draw_v up_o to_o the_o same_o effect_n with_o a_o new_a title_n give_v as_o i_o remember_v present_v by_o the_o sergeant_n at_o arm_n and_o one_o write_v it_o over_o in_o such_o haste_n lest_o they_o shall_v be_v

the_o petition_n a_o word_n leave_v out_o but_o what_o the_o word_n be_v i_o know_v not_o and_o this_o be_v take_v so_o ill_o as_o if_o i_o have_v put_v a_o affront_n and_o contempt_n on_o the_o
