to_o they_o every_o fortnight_n till_o the_o house_n be_v finish_v and_o settle_v as_o aforesaid_a this_o method_n of_o government_n or_o inspection_n i_o humble_o offer_v as_o most_o safe_a because_o from_o head_n to_o foot_n the_o interest_n of_o one_o member_n have_v it_o dependence_n on_o the_o other_o interest_n be_v a_o thing_n that_o govern_v all_o people_n in_o the_o world_n both_o good_a and_o bad_a a_o good_a man_n know_v it_o be_v his_o great_a interest_n to_o live_v honest_o and_o upright_o in_o the_o fight_n of_o god_n and_o man_n because_o than_o he_o believe_v a_o blessing_n attend_v he_o a_o bad_a man_n though_o so_o foolish_a as_o not_o to_o regard_v his_o future_a happiness_n will_v yet_o act_v honest_o too_o when_o it_o be_v for_o his_o advantage_n so_o to_o do_v now_o according_a to_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o government_n here_o prescribe_v every_o man_n interest_n be_v link_v together_o as_o 1._o it_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o each_o parish_n to_o elect_v honest_a representative_n 2._o it_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o these_o representative_n to_o act_v righteous_a thing_n and_o elect_v honest_a trustee_n not_o only_o because_o if_o they_o betray_v their_o trust_n for_o favour_n bribe_n or_o prejudice_n they_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o punishment_n and_o dishonour_n but_o also_o because_o their_o own_o private_a interest_n lie_v at_o stake_n in_o the_o common_a interest_n of_o the_o parish_n 3._o it_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o officer_n and_o trustee_n whether_o honest_a man_n or_o knave_n to_o do_v honest_o because_o then_o they_o may_v continue_v in_o their_o place_n of_o reasonable_a profit_n but_o if_o they_o do_v otherwise_o under_o so_o many_o eye_n and_o such_o frequent_a inspection_n they_o can_v hope_v to_o conceal_v their_o misdemeanour_n and_o then_o must_v be_v severe_o correct_v and_o pay_v dear_o for_o it_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o form_n of_o government_n relate_v to_o the_o election_n and_o
