cause_n disturbance_n in_o a_o state_n or_o commonwealth_n wherefore_o the_o best_a way_n be_v to_o choose_v rich_a and_o honourable_a person_n or_o at_o least_o gentlemen_z for_o such_o employment_n who_o esteem_v fame_n and_o honourable_a action_n above_o their_o life_n and_o if_o they_o want_v skill_n they_o must_v get_v such_o under-officer_n as_o have_v more_o than_o themselves_o to_o

that_o those_o which_o have_v politic_a design_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n dishonest_a by_o reason_n their_o design_n tend_v more_o to_o interest_n than_o justice_n xliii_o that_o great_a
