they_o to_o prefer_v merit_n before_o favour_n it_o be_v better_a to_o leave_v the_o sale_n of_o office_n and_o the_o annual_a duty_n than_o to_o abolish_v those_o two_o settlement_n which_o be_v

that_o to_o which_o the_o extravagance_n of_o the_o age_n have_v bring_v it_o at_o present_a and_o the_o king_n have_v the_o liberty_n to_o pay_v it_o to_o the_o heir_n to_o dispose_v of_o the_o say_a

that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o no_o small_a consequence_n in_o order_n to_o reform_v the_o court_n of_o justice_n to_o put_v the_o ordinance_n in_o execution_n in_o what_o relate_v to_o the_o age_n of_o officer_n in_o my_o opinion_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v too_o exact_a in_o it_o nor_o consequent_o too_o severe_a towards_o the_o attorney_n general_n who_o shall_v be_v want_v in_o
