contrary_a to_o your_o own_o judgement_n consider_v first_o that_o personal_a obligation_n must_v not_o sway_v you_o in_o such_o a_o great_a concern_v as_o the_o choice_n of_o a_o magistrate_n you_o

society_n must_v not_o prevail_v i_o must_v confess_v that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a pleasant_a sight_n to_o behold_v the_o brotherly_a love_n which_o the_o member_n of_o particular_a society_n show_v to_o each_o other_o and_o when_o a_o brother_n of_o a_o company_n prove_v in_o a_o man_n judgement_n to_o be_v the_o fit_a man_n it_o be_v great_a satisfaction_n to_o the_o mind_n but_o otherwise_o a_o man_n shall_v deal_v perfidious_o and_o treacherous_o by_o the_o city_n it_o be_v according_a to_o what_o i_o mention_v before_o as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v kill_v his_o mother_n to_o do_v his_o

you_o be_v partial_a and_o act_v only_o from_o personal_a favour_n and_o affection_n in_o the_o choice_n of_o he_o it_o be_v a_o great_a concern_v and_o though_o it_o be_v but_o for_o one_o year_n yet_o it_o may_v prove_v a_o very_a critical_a one_o and_o may_v require_v great_a wisdom_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o qualification_n in_o he_o who_o you_o make_v the_o chief_a magistrate_n
