satisfaction_n of_o which_o there_o be_v sundry_a poor_a of_o all_o side_n that_o merit_n relief_n therein_o i_o have_v now_o do_v and_o i_o hope_v none_o will_v think_v their_o labour_n ill_o spend_v in_o the_o observe_n or_o read_v what_o in_o this_o paper_n be_v set_v forth_o or_o blame_v the_o author_n for_o publish_v the_o same_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o be_v only_o fit_a for_o national_a

whatsoever_o may_v any_o way_n advance_v the_o public_a good_a will_v be_v with_o much_o earnestness_n now_o in_o this_o present_a parliament_n prefer_v and_o perfect_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n his_o majesty_n honour_n and_o the_o nation_n ease_n and_o prosperity_n which_o i_o hearty_o wish_v and_o when_o any_o of_o the_o particular_n herein_o mention_v have_v be_v or_o be_v by_o any_o other_o person_n make_v public_a it_o will_v very_o much_o rejoice_v i_o to_o find_v and_o know_v that_o there_o be_v assenter_n to_o these_o my_o thought_n and_o judgement_n and_o that_o have_v like_o public_a spirit_n as_o to_o wish_v well_o to_o their_o native_a country_n and_o brethren_n inhabitant_n therein_o and_o who_o also_o desire_v to_o do_v good_a for_o good_a sake_n for_o undoubted_o will_v every_o man_n leave_v off_o self_n interest_n in_o its_o exorbitancy_n &_o strive_v to_o promote_v the_o common_a good_a stay_v a_o while_n &_o strive_v the_o advancement_n of_o the_o one_o it_o will_v make_v they_o in_o due_a time_n attain_v unto_o the_o other_o when_o as_o its_o most_o probable_a by_o strive_v only_o for_o self_n both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o come_v â—o_o ruin_n i_o wish_v it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o the_o present_a fin_n of_o the_o nation_n it_o be_v not_o to_o late_a to_o be_v amend_v and_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v be_v mend_v before_o it_o grow_v too_o late_o which_o once_o happen_v there_o will_v be_v no_o go_v back_o conclude_v therefore_o with_o this_o prayer_n that_o if_o by_o presume_v to_o publish_v and_o present_v these_o to_o your_o honour_n i_o have_v err_v let_v the_o zeal_n i_o have_v for_o the_o peace_n â—nd_v prosperity_n of_o england_n and_o the_o desire_n to_o promote_v his_o majesty_n service_n obtain_v a_o pardon_n for_o he_o who_o beg_v of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v give_v you_o wisdom_n and_o courage_n to_o settle_v this_o poor_a nation_n that_o have_v so_o long_o lie_v under_o misery_n in_o unity_n and_o peace_n both_o iâ—_n church_n and_o state_n and_o also_o so_o to_o strengthen_v his_o majesty_n hand_n with_o power_n and_o his_o coffer_n with_o money_n that_o he_o may_v be_v able_a to_o
