part_n of_o government_n be_v grant_v by_o the_o governor_n its_o true_a but_o not_o from_o the_o governor_n but_o from_o the_o king_n &_o be_v derive_v from_o the_o crown_n it_o be_v not_o from_o a_o

otherwise_o you_o may_v have_v be_v and_o to_o prevent_v the_o misery_n that_o may_v follow_v thereupon_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o this_o be_v one_o principal_a argument_n that_o they_o use_v with_o i_o when_o they_o see_v i_o so_o averse_a as_o i_o be_v to_o accept_v and_o i_o think_v the_o end_n have_v be_v so_o far_o attain_v as_o that_o you_o ought_v with_o thankfulness_n to_o acknowledge_v that_o by_o this_o mean_v you_o have_v escape_v the_o great_a part_n of_o those_o grievance_n which_o other_o complain_v of_o and_o not_o now_o you_o think_v you_o have_v the_o staff_n in_o your_o

they_o down_o as_o mire_n in_o the_o street_n the_o measure_n that_o you_o meet_v may_v be_v measure_v to_o you_o again_o it_o be_v a_o golden_a rule_n that_o which_o you_o will_v that_o other_o

have_v you_o already_o forget_v that_o you_o i_o mean_v the_o people_n be_v divide_v in_o your_o opinion_n many_o grudge_v at_o the_o charge_n of_o that_o affair_n whence_o it_o be_v hard_a if_o

bay_n sure_o you_o can_v forget_v these_o thing_n by_o which_o come_v from_o the_o people_n by_o their_o deputye_n it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o think_v that_o the_o general_n assembly_n be_v move_v to_o make_v that_o submission_n to_o the_o king_n and_o in_o all_o reason_n it_o be_v much_o better_o so_o than_o for_o want_n of_o money_n to_o have_v have_v a_o judgement_n give_v against_o we_o upon_o a_o nihil-dicit_a or_o contempt_n and_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o if_o those_o who_o reflect_v so_o hard_o upon_o they_o have_v be_v under_o the_o same_o circumstance_n they_o will_v have_v
