the_o case_n of_o some_o thousand_o of_o the_o people_z call_v quaker_n in_o great-britain_n who_o conscientious_o scruple_n the_o present_a affirmation_n we_o desire_v with_o great_a humility_n to_o represent_v to_o the_o legislature_n that_o many_o of_o our_o friend_n in_o divers_a part_n of_o this_o kingdom_n have_v long_o labour_v under_o great_a difficulty_n by_o reason_n of_o some_o word_n in_o the_o present_a affirmation_n and_o that_o it_o be_v now_o become_v more_o necessary_a for_o we_o than_o it_o have_v be_v heretofore_o to_o apply_v for_o relief_n because_o the_o late_a act_n for_o lay_v a_o duty_n upon_o hides_n etc._n etc._n which_o require_v the_o take_n of_o a_o oath_n or_o the_o present_a affirmation_n have_v already_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o the_o ruin_n of_o some_o although_o they_o have_v pay_v the_o duty_n without_o fraud_n to_o the_o proper_a officer_n and_o apparent_o tend_v to_o the_o ruin_n of_o many_o more_o who_o trade_n in_o those_o commodity_n and_o can_v use_v the_o affirmation_n because_o in_o the_o present_a affirmation_n we_o be_v oblige_v to_o mention_v the_o sacred_a name_n of_o almighty_a god_n for_o who_o name_n we_o have_v so_o great_a and_o awful_a a_o reverence_n that_o we_o conscientious_o scruple_n to_o use_v it_o in_o case_n of_o evidence_n etc._n etc._n conceive_v it_o to_o be_v of_o a_o high_a nature_n than_o the_o simplicity_n of_o yea_o yea_o and_o nay_o nay_o which_o our_o bless_a lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n command_v his_o follower_n to_o observe_v instead_o of_o a_o oath_n that_o simplicity_n we_o be_v afraid_a to_o exceed_v our_o lord_n in_o this_o as_o in_o other_o case_n design_v to_o exalt_v the_o veracity_n and_o righteousness_n of_o the_o gospel_n far_o above_o that_o of_o the_o law_n we_o beg_v leave_v to_o say_v that_o we_o apprehend_v the_o grant_v our_o request_n will_v neither_o make_v the_o government_n nor_o any_o person_n we_o deal_v with_o less_o secure_a for_o we_o believe_v ourselves_o as_o firm_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o speak_v the_o truth_n as_o any_o other_o esteem_v themselves_o oblige_v to_o swear_v the_o truth_n and_o also_o liable_a to_o as_o severe_a punishment_n from_o the_o great_a and_o just_a god_n if_o we_o affirm_v false_o as_o they_o be_v who_o forswear_v themselves_o and_o we_o willing_o submit_v to_o the_o same_o penalty_n if_o ever_o any_o of_o we_o shall_v falsify_v our_o word_n which_o be_v now_o by_o law_n inflict_v in_o case_n of_o perjury_n and_o permit_v we_o to_o add_v the_o indulge_v we_o herein_o may_v be_v for_o the_o benefit_n of_o our_o fellow-subject_n who_o be_v not_o of_o our_o persuasion_n since_o many_o of_o our_o friend_n before_o they_o be_v quaker_n have_v be_v witness_n in_o matter_n of_o importance_n to_o deed_n etc._n etc._n and_o if_o the_o affirmation_n be_v not_o make_v more_o easy_a those_o who_o can_v take_v it_o will_v not_o be_v admit_v to_o give_v their_o evidence_n in_o any_o court_n of_o judicature_n which_o may_v tend_v to_o the_o damage_n of_o many_o who_o may_v stand_v in_o need_n thereof_o wherefore_o for_o our_o relief_n and_o also_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o those_o who_o may_v want_v our_o evidence_n we_o humble_o entreat_v that_o such_o a_o affirmation_n may_v be_v grant_v we_o wherein_o the_o sacred_a name_n of_o god_n may_v not_o be_v use_v and_o that_o the_o benefit_n thereof_o may_v be_v make_v extensive_a to_o our_o brethren_n in_o north-britain_a who_o be_v general_o under_o the_o like_a dissatisfaction_n and_o some_o of_o they_o under_o present_a suffer_v
