i_o so_o cruel_o for_o my_o oppose_v he_o therein_o regular_o and_o according_a to_o the_o duty_n of_o my_o place_n and_o station_n in_o the_o government_n be_v confer_v on_o he_o by_o commission_n and_o instruction_n from_o your_o lordship_n without_o due_a examination_n of_o his_o fitness_n for_o discharge_v the_o duty_n thereof_o for_o if_o you_o have_v make_v but_o a_o slight_a inquisition_n into_o his_o inability_n for_o government_n you_o will_v soon_o have_v discern_v that_o privative_o and_o positive_o he_o be_v utter_o unqualify_v for_o the_o mean_a office_n of_o power_n and_o

near_o four_o year_n in_o the_o administration_n of_o that_o suprem_a office_n wherein_o his_o whole_a managment_n have_v be_v great_o to_o the_o dishonour_n of_o your_o lordship_n and_o damage_n of_o the_o people_n inhabit_v your_o say_a province_n iii_o because_o all_o his_o barbarous_a and_o unjust_a deal_n with_o i_o have_v be_v do_v by_o colour_n of_o his_o office_n and_o by_o pretend_a authority_n from_o your_o lordship_n who_o name_n he_o have_v constant_o use_v to_o embolden_v his_o agent_n in_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o unlawful_a precept_n viz._n to_o imprison_v people_n

usurpation_n 14_o month_n and_o when_o i_o be_v clear_v by_o law_n and_o in_o the_o king_n name_n demand_v legal_a process_n against_o jones_n and_o grave_n he_o permit_v both_o to_o re●ire_v out_o of_o the_o province_n whereby_o they_o have_v escape_v demerited-punishment_n and_o because_o the_o say_v trott_n have_v assume_v and_o exercise_v a_o arbitrary_a and_o tyrannical_a power_n over_o the_o person_n libertys_n and_o property_n of_o the_o king_n subject_n inhabit_v your_o say_a province_n ever_o since_o he_o come_v to_o the_o government_n v._o because_o through_o the_o denial_n of_o justice_n by_o your_o lordship_n minister_n at_o providence_n and_o carolina_n i_o be_o necessitate_v to_o leave_v the_o place_n of_o my_o settle_a habitation_n and_o trade_n my_o land_n house_n

i_o have_v allege_v against_o they_o and_o for_o which_o i_o be_o bind_v to_o prossecute_v vi_o because_o they_o who_o have_v the_o disposal_n of_o office_n for_o administration_n of_o justice_n ought_v not_o to_o put_v into_o they_o any_o but_o such_o as_o be_v due_o qualify_v and_o for_o who_o they_o will_v answer_v the_o law_n say_v respondeat_fw-la superior_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o security_n be_v require_v for_o such_o officer_n before_o they_o can_v execute_v their_o respective_a office_n otherwise_o the_o person_n sustain_v damage_n by_o their_o ignorant_a or_o
