of_o that_o house_n be_v make_v as_o much_o as_o possible_a for_o the_o court_n and_o if_o they_o will_v have_v betray_v the_o people_n or_o can_v have_v be_v separate_a from_o the_o interest_n of_o

what_o reason_n be_v there_o then_o when_o the_o stream_n that_o drive_v so_o hard_o to_o turn_v their_o mill_n but_o can_v not_o be_v divert_v that_o when_o there_o remain_v no_o temptation_n at_o all_o upon_o they_o to_o desert_v the_o common_a interest_n that_o any_o one_o shall_v fancy_v they_o will_v turn_v cat_n in_o the_o pan_n why_o shall_v any_o think_v they_o will_v make_v good_a our_o

otherwise_o then_o make_v good_a our_o interest_n and_o nothing_o in_o the_o way_n to_o terrify_v they_o for_o do_v it_o and_o it_o shall_v be_v their_o own_o interest_n so_o to_o do_v and_o when_o they_o shall_v be_v so_o equal_o distribute_v as_o to_o take_v in_o the_o whole_a interest_n of_o the_o nation_n alike_o that_o now_o they_o shall_v desert_v the_o common_a interest_n and_o must_v now_o be_v a_o inconsiderable_a number_n and_o not_o sufficient_a to_o maintain_v it_o be_v to_o i_o such_o a_o fond_a imagination_n as_o i_o have_v hardly_o patience_n to_o repeat_v it_o well_o notwithstanding_o mr._n harrington_n vouch_v these_o two_o council_n of_o legislator_n and_o warrant_v they_o sound_a wind_n and_o limb_n i_o dare_v not_o take_v they_o upon_o his_o word_n for_o i_o expect_v a_o halt_n that_o the_o great_a council_n will_v fall_v to_o debate_v and_o then_o say_v he_o ruin_n be_v consequent_a and_o if_o the_o prerogative_n tribe_n be_v sullen_a and_o will_v not_o

too_o it_o have_v be_v little_o worse_o for_o the_o other_o in_o case_n she_o have_v not_o divide_v at_o all_o but_o keep_v the_o whole_a cake_n to_o herself_o in_o regard_n that_o be_v to_o choose_v she_o divide_v according_o wherefore_o if_o the_o senate_n have_v any_o more_o power_n then_o to_o divide_v the_o commonwealth_n can_v never_o be_v equal_a the_o reader_n will_v observe_v what_o

with_o more_o judgement_n find_v out_o those_o man_n that_o be_v the_o light_n of_o mankind_n than_o the_o rude_a multitude_n who_o choice_n i_o conceit_n will_v put_v little_a difference_n between_o
