A63807	The planter's speech to his neighbours & country-men of Pennsylvania, East & West Jersey and to all such as have transported themselves into new-colonies for the sake of a quiet retired life : to which is added the complaints of our supra-inferior inhabitants.

state_n man_n often_o find_v himself_o in_o great_a trouble_n and_o discontent_n and_o wonder_n very_o much_o what_o may_v be_v the_o occasion_n thereof_o not_o consider_v the_o true_a cause_n viz._n that_o their_o heart_n and_o soul_n do_v move_v in_o the_o fierce_a wrath_n and_o that_o they_o do_v not_o do_v unto_o all_o as_o they_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o nor_o live_v in_o innocency_n and_o concord_n with_o all_o creature_n which_o be_v the_o true_a christian_a doctrine_n therefore_o to_o prevent_v all_o these_o trouble_n danger_n and_o annixity_n it_o will_v become_v we_o to_o be_v wise_a and_o innocent_a in_o our_o law_n and_o custom_n that_o our_o youthful_a settlement_n may_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o preserve_v we_o and_o our_o posterity_n and_o then_o our_o child_n child_n
