that_o the_o government_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v impeach_v by_o argument_n nor_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o government_n shake_v by_o argument_n because_o i_o can_v manage_v a_o proposition_n in_o

take_v upon_o he_o to_o write_v concern_v the_o government_n at_o all_o for_o what_o have_v any_o private_a man_n to_o do_v with_o the_o government_n if_o his_o interest_n be_v not_o stir_v or_o
