of_o the_o sound_n i_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o city_n the_o rather_o because_o when_o i_o have_v do_v with_o that_o i_o have_v little_o more_o to_o say_v of_o any_o other_o in_o the_o king_n of_o

much_o far_o and_o what_o may_v confirm_v any_o body_n in_o this_o opinion_n be_v that_o he_o tell_v we_o a_o most_o dismal_a story_n of_o whole_a herd_n of_o stag_n wild_a boar_n and_o ro●_n buck_n who_o he_o call_v sacred_a thing_n destroy_v the_o poor_a peasant_n corn_n when_o it_o be_v sufficient_o know_v that_o there_o be_v scarce_o any_o kingdom_n to_o be_v find_v where_o there_o be_v not_o

be_o apt_a to_o think_v that_o this_o gentleman_n happen_v to_o light_n into_o some_o black-smith_n or_o other_o their_o like_a mechanic_n house_n in_o copenhagen_n who_o according_a to_o the_o

that_o they_o mind_n eat_v and_o drink_v more_o than_o any_o thing_n else_o that_o i_o wonder_v how_o this_o gentleman_n can_v think_v upon_o it_o except_o he_o take_v a_o particular_a pride_n to_o

to_o pay_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o nobility_n have_v be_v the_o chief_a loser_n by_o that_o change_n and_o that_o the_o other_o estate_n by_o be_v very_o near_o make_v equal_a to_o they_o in_o a_o great_a many_o respect_n be_v gainer_n and_o not_o loser_n by_o it_o i_o may_v take_v here_o a_o opportunity_n to_o enlarge_v myself_o upon_o some_o rule_n of_o policy_n which_o be_v mention_v by_o our_o author_n upon_o this_o subject_a in_o his_o preface_n viz._n that_o no_o people_n in_o their_o right_a wit_n can_v be_v suppose_v to_o confer_v a_o absolute_a dominion_n that_o such_o a_o donation_n ought_v to_o be_v esteem_v of_o no_o great_a validity_n than_o the_o gift_n make_v by_o a_o madman_n or_o a_o child_n from_o his_o lawful_a successor_n that_o nothing_o which_o even_o the_o representative_a body_n of_o the_o people_n do_v which_o shall_v afterward_o tend_v to_o the_o detriment_n of_o the_o universality_n can_v then_o be_v obligatory_a etc._n etc._n but_o that_o these_o be_v matter_n of_o too_o nice_a a_o nature_n to_o be_v transitory_o treat_v of_o as_o also_o what_o may_v be_v say_v consider_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o proceed_n of_o the_o commons_o of_o denmark_n relate_v by_o the_o author_n at_o large_a when_o they_o oblige_v the_o nobility_n to_o concur_v with_o they_o in_o the_o change_n of_o the_o government_n but_o thus_o much_o may_v be_v say_v according_a to_o this_o gentleman_n be_v own_o supposition_n that_o if_o even_o some_o matter_n which_o the_o representative_a body_n of_o the_o people_n do_v may_v be_v invalid_a i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v justifiable_a in_o the_o commons_o of_o denmark_n to_o have_v take_v a_o opportunity_n to_o free_v themselves_o of_o these_o encroachment_n which_o be_v make_v upon_o they_o by_o the_o nobility_n and_o the_o matter_n due_o weigh_v will_n i_o believe_v to_o the_o most_o judicious_a appear_v not_o so_o much_o to_o be_v transact_v like_o child_n or_o madman_n but_o like_o people_n in_o their_o right_a wit_n what_o he_o have_v add_v that_o the_o clergy_n be_v the_o only_a gainer_n in_o the_o point_n be_v i_o be_o sure_a what_o no_o man_n that_o know_v

to_o his_o passive_a obedience-principle_n ride_v triumphant_a there_o have_v be_v so_o much_o say_v of_o it_o in_o the_o preface_n that_o it_o will_v be_v superfluous_a to_o repeat_v it_o here_o in_o the_o next_o chapter_n be_v the_o viii_o where_o he_o speak_v concern_v the_o condition_n custom_n and_o temper_v of_o the_o people_n he_o talk_v of_o such_o appearance_n of_o slavery_n laziness_n and_o idle_a despondency_n of_o carelessness_n and_o insensibility_n all_o which_o he_o have_v interweave_v with_o his_o own_o tragical_a invention_n that_o one_o will_v rather_o believe_v the_o whole_a to_o be_v fit_v for_o a_o piece_n of_o tragedy_n than_o history_n it_o will_v be_v ridiculous_a therefore_o to_o answer_v every_o particular_a whimsical_a conceit_n of_o which_o this_o chapter_n be_v almost_o as_o full_a as_o hudibras_n it_o will_v suffice_v to_o hint_n at_o two_o or_o three_o passage_n from_o whence_o may_v be_v guess_v with_o what_o candour_n he_o have_v relate_v
