of_o our_o corporation_n 2._o as_o the_o people_n have_v no_o part_n in_o the_o choice_n of_o their_o magistrate_n so_o neither_o can_v any_o one_o be_v admit_v to_o any_o part_n of_o their_o

favour_v they_o in_o a_o vote_n and_o it_o be_v not_o unlikely_a but_o that_o a_o equal_a execution_n of_o the_o law_n may_v discover_v to_o we_o a_o great_a secret_a that_o the_o twenty_o part_n of_o those_o who_o be_v repute_v for_o dissenter_n do_v not_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o a_o toleration_n what_o our_o considerer_n say_v of_o rester_v of_o trade_n be_v to_o suggest_v that_o it_o be_v

of_o trade_n you_o must_v understand_v that_o the_o true_a meaning_n be_v only_o that_o they_o be_v discontent_v and_o will_v fain_o make_v other_o so_o low_a and_o because_o they_o have_v no_o
