and_o beneficial_a for_o the_o public_a to_o readmit_v the_o jew_n and_o we_o be_v bind_v in_o charity_n to_o think_v that_o unless_o they_o judge_v so_o they_o will_v not_o admit_v they_o than_o

it_o be_v evident_a that_o no_o supreme_a magistrate_n be_v to_o neglect_v the_o do_n of_o his_o duty_n or_o use_v his_o just_a and_o lawful_a liberty_n and_o authority_n in_o put_v that_o in_o

their_o magistrate_n real_o intend_v for_o the_o public_a good_a and_o no_o doubt_n all_o sober_a and_o moderate_a person_n will_v do_v so_o but_o this_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v wish_v than_o hope_v for_o the_o understanding_n aim_n and_o interest_n of_o man_n be_v so_o different_a that_o supreme_a governor_n in_o no_o age_n or_o country_n do_v ever_o satisfy_v all_o no_o not_o with_o their_o

such_o as_o in_o prodence_n he_o shall_v think_v fit_a to_o the_o jew_n so_o there_o may_v be_v further_a reason_n draw_v for_o the_o same_o purpose_n from_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o subject_n in_o relation_n to_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n for_o as_o they_o stand_v in_o this_o relation_n there_o lie_v a_o obligation_n upon_o they_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o nature_n to_o yield_v

scandal_n be_v in_o vain_a pretend_a it_o be_v irrational_a and_o irreligious_a too_o to_o pretend_v scandal_n for_o the_o neglect_n of_o my_o duty_n and_o so_o evident_o disobey_v god_n and_o my_o
