in_o respect_n of_o the_o king_n your_o master_n you_o must_v be_v very_o wary_a that_o you_o give_v he_o true_a information_n and_o if_o the_o matter_n concern_v he_o in_o his_o government_n that_o you_o do_v not_o flatter_v he_o if_o you_o do_v you_o be_v as_o great_a a_o traitor_n to_o he_o in_o the_o court_n of_o heaven_n as_o he_o that_o draw_v his_o sword_n against_o he_o and_o in_o

if_o the_o business_n be_v light_a and_o easy_a it_o may_v by_o word_n only_o be_v deliver_v and_o in_o a_o word_n be_v answer_v but_o if_o it_o be_v either_o of_o weight_n or_o of_o difficulty_n

which_o will_v constant_o be_v observe_v unless_o some_o matter_n of_o great_a moment_n do_v interrupt_v it_o when_o you_o have_v receive_v the_o petition_n and_o it_o will_v please_v the_o

peruse_v those_o petition_n and_o after_o you_o have_v rank_v they_o into_o several_a file_n according_a to_o the_o subject_a matter_n make_v choice_n of_o two_o or_o three_o friend_n who_o judgement_n and_o fidelity_n you_o believe_v you_o may_v trust_v in_o a_o business_n of_o that_o nature_n and_o recommend_v it_o to_o one_o or_o more_o of_o they_o to_o inform_v you_o of_o their_o opinion_n and_o of_o their_o reason_n for_o or_o against_o the_o grant_n of_o it_o and_o if_o the_o matter_n be_v of_o great_a weight_n indeed_o than_o it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o send_v

by_o a_o certain_a time_n to_o be_v prefix_v in_o write_v so_o shall_v you_o receive_v a_o impartial_a answer_n and_o by_o compare_v the_o one_o with_o the_o other_o you_o shall_v both_o discern_v the_o ability_n and_o faithfulness_n of_o your_o friend_n and_o be_v able_a to_o give_v a_o judgement_n thereupon_o as_o a_o oracle_n but_o by_o no_o mean_n trust_v not_o to_o your_o own_o judgement_n alone_o for_o no_o man_n be_v omniscient_a nor_o trust_v only_o to_o your_o servant_n who_o may_v mislead_v you_o or_o mis-inform_a you_o by_o which_o they_o may_v perhaps_o gain_v a_o few_o crown_n
