that_o there_o will_v never_o be_v so_o much_o money_n raze_v as_o to_o establish_v such_o plantation_n for_o that_o most_o man_n in_o this_o age_n respect_v their_o own_o profit_n 100_o time_n more_o than_o the_o public_a good_a and_o their_o heart_n be_v so_o glue_v to_o the_o world_n that_o you_o shall_v as_o soon_o hang_v they_o as_o draw_v any_o thing_n from_o they_o though_o it_o be_v to_o

grieve_v at_o a_o man_n for_o show_v of_o they_o how_o by_o the_o disburse_n of_o 20_o shilling_n they_o shall_v have_v 20_o shilling_n a_o year_n for_o seven_o ten_o or_o twenty_o year_n and_o perhaps_o for_o ever_o my_o desire_n be_v not_o that_o any_o shall_v be_v compel_v only_o this_o i_o can_v wish_v that_o every_o parish_n will_v adventure_v so_o much_o as_o they_o pay_v weekly_o to_o the_o relief_n of_o the_o poor_a which_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n and_o so_o every_o shire_n by_o itself_o will_v send_v over_o man_n to_o plant_v and_o if_o after_o 18_o month_n they_o shall_v not_o yearly_a return_n so_o much_o profit_v continual_o as_o will_v keep_v their_o poor_a and_o ease_v their_o purse_n provide_v always_o as_o i_o say_v before_o that_o they_o send_v such_o man_n as_o be_v fit_a and_o that_o the_o justice_n of_o every_o shire_n be_v careful_a to_o appoint_v such_o a_o man_n to_o be_v their_o captain_n and_o director_n as_o be_v honest_a and_o of_o good_a

in_o seven_o year_n a_o ship_n shall_v be_v cast_v away_o which_o be_v more_o than_o have_v be_v usual_a for_o i_o dare_v say_v that_o for_o every_o ship_n that_o be_v cast_v away_o in_o those_o voyage_n there_o be_v 100_o which_o come_v safe_a yet_o it_o be_v but_o that_o year_n profit_v lose_v and_o perhaps_o not_o half_a another_o objection_n may_v be_v this_o that_o all_o man_n be_v not_o
