all_o thing_n will_v again_o settle_v upon_o its_o old_a basis_n and_o the_o government_n be_v rebuilt_a with_o all_o its_o irregulary_n however_o because_o i_o understand_v you_o be_v in_o election_n to_o be_v one_o of_o those_o from_o who_o succeed_a age_n must_v derive_v their_o happiness_n or_o misery_n i_o will_v make_v use_n of_o the_o liberty_n you_o have_v give_v i_o to_o express_v my_o
