extinguish_v the_o principal_a they_o can_v not_o have_v exact_v any_o thing_n more_o plausible_a from_o we_o or_o more_o suitable_a to_o our_o own_o inclination_n than_o not_o to_o pay_v one_o

all_o delay_n make_v we_o the_o less_o responsible_a that_o the_o estate_n if_o none_o take_v care_n of_o it_o will_v dispose_v of_o itself_o out_o of_o the_o reach_n both_o of_o the_o creditor_n and_o ourselves_o and_o that_o our_o debtor_n will_v possess_v it_o that_o there_o be_v no_o come_n to_o a_o end_n but_o by_o a_o agreement_n which_o therefore_o the_o more_o considerable_a part_n of_o our_o creditor_n enter_v into_o and_o yet_o nevertheless_o there_o remain_v still_o a_o number_n sufficient_a to_o obstruct_v any_o good_a business_n of_o this_o kind_n who_o though_o they_o know_v we_o have_v draw_v out_o all_o the_o blood_n in_o our_o vein_n to_o give_v satisfaction_n yet_o will_v not_o allow_v we_o any_o time_n to_o restore_v nature_n but_o obstinate_o refuse_v to_o subscribe_v the_o say_a agreement_n as_o if_o they_o account_v it_o a_o more_o desirable_a thing_n to_o have_v their_o will_n than_o to_o exercise_v their_o understanding_n and_o to_o execute_v a_o

the_o great_a part_n of_o our_o creditor_n have_v sign_v but_o the_o other_o continue_v refractory_a so_o long_o until_o many_o of_o our_o correspondent_o both_o at_o home_n and_o abroad_o in_o foreign_a part_n take_v advantage_n thereby_o to_o delay_n and_o some_o to_o imbezel_n what_o they_o have_v in_o their_o hand_n beside_o the_o badness_n of_o trade_n and_o the_o general_a poverty_n which_o make_v all_o man_n less_o solvent_a we_o therefore_o that_o the_o estate_n may_v no_o long_o lie_v as_o a_o waif_n and_o stray_n and_o in_o right_a not_o only_o of_o ourselves_o and_o the_o
