brief_a direction_n show_v how_o a_o fit_a and_o perfect_a model_n of_o popular_a government_n may_v be_v make_v find_v or_o understand_v there_o be_v nothing_o more_o apparent_a than_o that_o this_o nation_n be_v great_o disquiet_v and_o perplex_v through_o a_o complication_n of_o two_o cause_n the_o one_o that_o the_o present_a state_n thereof_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o any_o other_o form_n than_o that_o only_o of_o a_o popular_a government_n the_o other_o that_o they_o be_v too_o few_o who_o understand_v what_o be_v the_o form_n or_o model_n natural_o necessary_a unto_o a_o popular_a government_n or_o what_o be_v require_v in_o that_o form_n or_o prudence_n for_o the_o sit_n of_o it_o unto_o the_o use_n of_o this_o nation_n for_o these_o infirmity_n i_o shall_v offer_v some_o remedy_n by_o a_o brief_a discourse_n or_o direction_n consist_v of_o two_o part_n the_o first_o show_v those_o form_n or_o model_n of_o popular_a government_n or_o of_o commonwealth_n which_o have_v be_v hitherto_o extant_a whether_o fit_a or_o unfit_a for_o the_o present_a state_n of_o this_o nation_n the_o second_o show_v a_o model_n form_n of_o popular_a government_n fit_v unto_o the_o present_a state_n of_o this_o nation_n in_o the_o first_o part_n i_o shall_v propose_v seven_o model_n rough_o and_o general_o in_o the_o second_o one_o but_o more_o particular_o and_o exact_o the_o first_o part_n in_o every_o frame_n of_o government_n either_o the_o form_n must_v be_v fit_v unto_o the_o propriety_n as_o it_o stand_v and_o this_o only_o be_v practicable_a in_o this_o nation_n or_o the_o propriety_n must_v be_v alter_v and_o fit_v unto_o the_o frame_n which_o without_o force_n have_v be_v sometime_o but_o very_o seldom_o practicable_a in_o any_o other_o nation_n nevertheless_o for_o the_o better_a knowledge_n of_o the_o one_o way_n it_o will_v be_v best_a to_o propose_v in_o both_o way_n the_o first_o model_n of_o popular_a government_n propose_v that_o the_o
