england_n our_o main_a difficulty_n be_v yet_o behind_o namely_o what_o form_n we_o shall_v put_v ourselves_o into_o that_o the_o peace_n may_v be_v keep_v among_o we_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o country_n be_v for_o a_o immediate_a reassumption_n of_o our_o old_a government_n conceive_v that_o the_o vacate_a of_o our_o charter_n be_v a_o most_o illegal_a and_o injurious_a thing_n and_o that_o though_o a_o form_n of_o law_n have_v cast_v we_o out_o of_o it_o yet_o we_o may_v now_o return_v to_o it_o at_o least_o as_o to_o a_o vacuum_n domicilium_fw-la other_o be_v of_o the_o opinion_n that_o since_o judgement_n be_v enter_v against_o our_o charter_n and_o we_o do_v not_o know_v what_o consequence_n a_o wrong_a step_n at_o this_o time_n may_v have_v therefore_o it_o be_v best_a for_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o country_n to_o continue_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o committee_n for_o the_o conservation_n of_o the_o peace_n till_o the_o daily_a expect_a direction_n from_o england_n shall_v arrive_v unto_o we_o the_o latter_a expedient_a be_v condescend_v unto_o but_o the_o sword_n yet_o continue_v in_o every_o man_n hand_n and_o for_o divers_a week_n the_o colony_n
