that_o he_o know_v he_o to_o have_v be_v in_o the_o company_n of_o four_o or_o five_o jesuit_n at_o a_o time_n and_o the_o say_a mr._n prance_n do_v also_o give_v other_o reproachful_a speech_n

their_o vote_n for_o mr._n partherich_n or_o any_o other_o person_n whatsoever_o for_o indeed_o i_o live_v elsewhere_o never_o think_v it_o fit_a to_o concern_v myself_o with_o any_o such_o matter_n 2_o lie_n mr._n squire_n say_v i_o say_v mr._n justice_n have_v a_o priest_n now_o in_o his_o house_n but_o mr._n gent_n say_v i_o say_v i_o believe_v he_o have_v a_o priest_n at_o his_o house_n at_o

within_o five_o mile_n of_o mr._n justice_n fincham_n and_o have_v be_v so_o frequent_o in_o that_o country_n i_o that_o be_v so_o well_o acquaint_v with_o richard_n fincham_n so_o intimate_v with_o

familiarity_n with_o the_o justice_n in_o london_n at_o his_o house_n at_o well_o etc._n etc._n shall_v yet_o be_v such_o a_o ignoramus_n to_o ask_v the_o advice_n of_o this_o small_a lawyer_n where_o forsooth_o one_o mr._n fincham_n be_v and_o receive_v for_o answer_v as_o news_n that_o he_o live_v near_o in_o the_o country_n let_v all_o mankind_n judge_v of_o the_o probability_n of_o such_o a_o information_n four_o mr._n squire_n own_o word_n as_o here_o print_v for_o if_o either_o of_o the_o gentleman_n be_v wrong_v they_o must_v seek_v satisfaction_n from_o their_o over-officious_a friend_n the_o observator_fw-la i_o say_v by_o his_o own_o word_n it_o appear_v there_o be_v a_o feud_n and_o something_o of_o malice_n in_o the_o case_n for_o at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o charge_v i_o though_o false_o with_o say_v that_o i_o wonder_v the_o justice_n of_o peace_n shall_v be_v so_o much_o fool_n or_o have_v so_o little_a wit_n as_o to_o make_v he_o chief_a constable_n and_o i_o may_v add_v that_o mr._n gent_n the_o other_o informer_n as_o they_o be_v here_o style_v be_v not_o likely_a to_o be_v guilty_a of_o any_o good_a will_n to_o i_o retain_v so_o this_o day_n a_o bond_n
