to_o commonwealth_n a_o thing_n befit_v man_n of_o great_a experience_n to_o do_v wherefore_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v pardon_v i_o if_o i_o keep_v not_o that_o promise_n which_o i_o shall_v with_o less_o offence_n break_v then_o observe_v and_o this_o i_o rather_o do_v because_o i_o suppose_v this_o precept_n to_o concern_v we_o especial_o if_o not_o only_o as_o private_a man_n and_o that_o in_o case_n of_o public_a proceed_n there_o be_v scarce_o room_n for_o it_o private_a man_n may_v pass_v over_o offence_n at_o their_o pleasure_n and_o may_v be_v in_o not_o do_v it_o they_o do_v worse_o but_o thus_o to_o do_v lie_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o magistrate_n who_o go_v by_o law_n prescribe_v he_o what_o he_o be_v to_o do_v prince_n and_o man_n in_o authority_n do_v many_o time_n much_o abuse_v themselves_o by_o affect_v a_o reputation_n of_o clemency_n in_o pardon_v wrong_v do_v to_o other_o man_n and_o give_v protection_n to_o sundry_a offender_n against_o those_o who_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o proceed_v against_o they_o it_o be_v mercy_n to_o pardon_n wrong_v do_v against_o ourselves_o but_o to_o deny_v the_o course_n of_o justice_n to_o he_o that_o call_v for_o it_o and_o to_o protect_v offender_n may_v peradventure_o be_v some_o inconsiderate_a pity_n but_o mercy_n it_o can_v be_v all_o therefore_o that_o i_o will_v presume_v to_o advise_v the_o magistrate_n be_v a_o general_a inclinablenesse_n to_o merciful_a proceed_n and_o so_o i_o conclude_v wish_v unto_o they_o who_o plentiful_o fowe_v mercy_n plentiful_o to_o reap_v it_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n with_o a_o hundred_o fold_v increase_n and_o that_o blessing_n from_o god_n the_o father_n of_o mercy_n may_v be_v upon_o they_o all_o as_o on_o the_o son_n of_o mercy_n as_o
