who_o will_v be_v esteem_v statesman_n that_o the_o only_a point_n of_o policy_n that_o the_o english_a can_v use_v be_v to_o destroy_v the_o indian_n or_o to_o drive_v they_o out_o of_o the_o

have_v able_a body_n and_o general_o tall_a and_o big_a limb_v than_o the_o english_a and_o want_v not_o courage_n but_o the_o odds_n we_o have_v of_o they_o in_o our_o weapon_n keep_v they_o in_o

hence_o to_o conclude_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o safety_n to_o live_v with_o they_o be_v a_o very_a great_a error_n experience_n have_v teach_v we_o that_o by_o kind_n and_o fair_a usage_n the_o
