nevertheless_o i_o have_v think_v good_a to_o give_v you_o a_o cautional_a hint_n of_o some_o special_a observation_n which_o i_o have_v take_v touch_v the_o several_a greevance_n of_o the_o people_n who_o lie_v under_o many_o grievous_a pressure_n and_o burden_n and_o expect_v relief_n and_o comfort_n from_o you_o which_o will_v be_v by_o prescribe_v wholesome_a law_n according_a to_o the_o present_a constitution_n of_o this_o nation_n and_o a_o due_a execution_n thereof_o as_o it_o be_v before_o the_o norman_a conquest_n for_o you_o know_v that_o the_o people_n have_v live_v under_o a_o kingly_a power_n many_o hundred_o year_n and_o have_v be_v hold_v in_o bondage_n and_o slavery_n ever_o since_o the_o conquest_n under_o those_o law_n which_o be_v prescribe_v by_o a_o usurper_n and_o have_v be_v still_o keep_v under_o the_o normand_n yoke_n by_o reason_n of_o a_o absolute_a arbitrary_a power_n domineer_a over_o they_o raise_v up_o by_o william_n the_o conquetor_n when_o he_o have_v subdue_v this_o nation_n by_o the_o sword_n then_o those_o who_o be_v his_o creature_n his_o favourit_n he_o create_v they_o to_o be_v lord_n of_o manor_n and_o so_o divide_v and_o distribute_v the_o land_n among_o themselves_o and_o the_o poor_a people_n to_o become_v tenant_n unto_o they_o and_o to_o pay_v a_o small_a rent_n at_o first_o to_o bring_v they_o under_o the_o yoke_n and_o so_o to_o acknowledge_v they_o to_o be_v their_o lord_n and_o master_n and_o hence_o come_v in_o that_o which_o we_o call_v propriety_n as_o derive_v from_o the_o norman_a conquest_n now_o after_o this_o these_o great_a lord_n of_o manor_n by_o marriage_n match_v their_o son_n and_o daughter_n together_o join_v house_n to_o house_n and_o land_n to_o land_n and_o so_o become_v great_a lord_n than_o
