both_o of_o his_o will_n and_o of_o his_o power_n and_o i_o can_v see_v no_o pretence_n for_o either_o here_o have_v be_v during_o his_o government_n many_o and_o great_a illegality_n suffer_v and_o

which_o as_o he_o often_o know_v not_o to_o be_v do_v at_o all_o so_o he_o never_o know_v to_o be_v illegal_o do_v do_v he_o not_o ever_o leave_v the_o trial_n to_o the_o law_n do_v he_o ever_o

against_o law_n or_o judge_v amiss_o of_o law_n though_o in_o the_o case_n most_o to_o his_o own_o advantage_n and_o have_v he_o not_o give_v all_o possible_a personal_a satisfaction_n for_o other_o

the_o king_n sir_n have_v have_v great_a experience_n by_o what_o mean_v the_o court_n lose_v their_o interest_n in_o the_o people_n and_o by_o the_o advantage_n that_o have_v be_v since_o make_v
