than_o i_o do_v to_o my_o dear_a father_n but_o i_o hate_v that_o curse_a principle_n of_o tyranny_n that_o have_v so_o long_o lodge_v and_o harbour_v within_o he_o which_o have_v turn_v our_o water_n

i_o go_v as_o cheerful_o about_o it_o as_o to_o a_o wedding_n and_o that_o the_o glory_n of_o this_o administration_n may_v be_v whole_o give_v to_o god_n i_o desire_v to_o observe_v to_o the_o

the_o honourable_a judge_n and_o those_o that_o wait_v upon_o they_o i_o have_v be_v sometime_o of_o counsel_n against_o felon_n and_o prisoner_n but_o i_o never_o move_v the_o court_n to_o proceed_v
