popish_a pretender_n ●_o upon_o the_o throne_n of_o great_a britain_n all_o their_o action_n tend_v to_o this_o however_o some_o of_o they_o deceive_v we_o by_o act_v more_o cunning_o and_o cautious_o than_o other_o of_o they_o but_o i_o be_o sure_a none_o of_o they_o can_v desire_v to_o choose_v into_o parliament_n such_o gentleman_n as_o be_v fit_a to_o support_v the_o government_n of_o queen_n anne_n and_o the_o protestant_a succession_n and_o therefore_o provide_v the_o character_n of_o the_o gentleman_n who_o stand_v candidate_n for_o be_v choose_v into_o parliament_n be_v otherwise_o equal_a so_o it_o be_v indifferent_a to_o i_o which_o of_o they_o be_v choose_v this_o shall_v be_v my_o rule_n i_o will_v always_o be_v against_o the_o man_n who_o interest_n be_v espouse_v by_o the_o papist_n nonjuror_n or_o jacobite_n john_n but_o may_v not_o you_o and_o i_o who_o be_v of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o well_o say_v we_o will_v be_v against_o the_o man_n who_o the_o protestant_a dissenter_n be_v for_o for_o they_o be_v not_o friend_n to_o our_o church_n adam_n no_o neighbour_n the_o case_n be_v very_o different_a for_o though_o the_o protestant_a dissenter_n

ceremony_n and_o they_o be_v not_o so_o far_o enemy_n to_o our_o church_n as_o to_o wish_v it_o destroy_v nor_o be_v it_o their_o interest_n it_o shall_v be_v so_o for_o the_o presbyterian_o independent_o anabaptist_n and_o quaker_n do_v all_o know_v they_o live_v happy_a under_o the_o church_n of_o england_n with_o the_o toleration_n than_o they_o shall_v under_o either_o of_o those_o

prince_n and_o for_o the_o good_a and_o peace_n of_o great_a britain_n in_o the_o protestant_a succession_n whereas_o it_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o papist_n to_o destroy_v our_o church_n and_o the_o protestant_a religion_n it_o be_v the_o interest_n as_o well_o as_o the_o endeavour_n of_o papist_n nonjuror_n and_o jacobite_n that_o the_o french_a king_n shall_v get_v the_o better_a of_o we_o and_o establish_v the_o popish_a pretender_n as_o king_n of_o these_o realm_n and_o you_o see_v the_o pope_n do_v not_o only_o make_v public_a prayer_n for_o success_n in_o the_o late_a intend_a

john_n i_o like_v your_o reason_v very_o well_o and_o as_o you_o have_v more_o year_n and_o more_o experience_n than_o i_o have_v i_o shall_v be_v glad_a to_o have_v your_o advice_n upon_o this_o subject_a adam_n well_o neighbour_n i_o will_v be_v very_o free_a in_o tell_v you_o plain_o my_o thought_n which_o in_o general_a be_v always_o to_o pitch_v upon_o the_o best_a of_o those_o who_o offer_v themselves_o to_o be_v choose_v but_o more_o particular_o i_o will_v look_v after_o a_o man_n of_o good_a moral_n and_o if_o among_o those_o who_o offer_v themselves_o to_o be_v choose_v there_o be_v one_o of_o who_o steadiness_n in_o parliament_n to_o the_o interest_n of_o england_n you_o have_v have_v any_o trial_n i_o will_v choose_v that_o man_n i_o will_v choose_v man_n of_o visible_a estate_n and_o then_o if_o their_o ability_n prove_v such_o that_o the_o government_n shall_v think_v fit_a to_o put_v they_o into_o profitable_a employment_n you_o be_v secure_a they_o will_v not_o be_v so_o easy_o bias_v to_o forsake_v the_o true_a interest_n of_o england_n if_o ever_o a_o court_n administration_n take_v wrong_a measure_n as_o such_o person_n may_v be_v who_o have_v little_a or_o nothing_o to_o live_v upon_o but_o the_o favour_n of_o the_o court_n the_o stake_n which_o a_o man_n have_v in_o england_n by_o his_o estate_n be_v to_o they_o who_o choose_v he_o a_o security_n for_o his_o good_a behaviour_n in_o parliament_n i_o will_v choose_v man_n of_o revolution_n principles_n such_o as_o show_v upon_o all_o occasion_n that_o they_o be_v hearty_a for_o the_o support_n of_o the_o revolution_n under_o the_o late_a king_n william_n hearty_a for_o support_v the_o government_n of_o queen_n anne_n and_o of_o the_o protestant_a succession_n these_o thing_n i_o look_v upon_o as_o principal_a foundation_n and_o if_o ever_o you_o have_v gentleman_n offer_v themselves_o to_o your_o choice_n who_o character_n and_o condition_n be_v such_o as_o answer_v your_o wish_n in_o all_o these_o aforementioned_a respect_n i_o will_v in_o the_o next_o place_n choose_v man_n of_o experience_n in_o parliamentary_a affair_n rather_o than_o such_o who_o know_v nothing_o of_o the_o matter_n i_o will_v choose_v man_n of_o know_a ability_n in_o parliament_n for_o real_o neighbour_n we_o receive_v a_o benefit_n in_o our_o own_o private_a trade_n and_o way_n of_o live_v by_o have_v such_o representative_n as_o well_o as_o the_o public_a and_o i_o have_v be_v assure_v by_o very_o know_v man_n that_o the_o two_o member_n which_o be_v choose_v for_o our_o city_n have_v oftentimes_o by_o their_o able_a speak_v in_o parliament_n obtain_v thing_n which_o be_v good_a for_o the_o trade_n of_o our_o city_n and_o prevent_v mischief_n which_o we_o shall_v have_v feel_v if_o our_o representative_n have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o speak_v for_o we_o in_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o and_o much_o more_o may_v we_o suffer_v in_o public_a national_a affair_n if_o we_o do_v choose_v man_n that_o have_v ability_n to_o debate_n and_o reason_n in_o that_o assembly_n and_o believe_v i_o neighbour_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o a_o ability_n to_o talk_v to_o our_o comrade_n as_o you_o and_o i_o do_v now_o or_o for_o gentleman_n to_o talk_v to_o we_o their_o inferior_n or_o discourse_n in_o a_o coffee-house_n i_o say_v there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o that_o sort_n of_o ability_n and_o between_o a_o capacity_n to_o discourse_n and_o argue_v in_o such_o a_o assembly_n as_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o will_v choose_v man_n of_o our_o own_o country_n for_o they_o be_v most_o likely_a to_o know_v what_o our_o interest_n be_v and_o to_o take_v care_n of_o it_o these_o be_v general_a rule_n from_o which_o there_o may_v be_v some_o exception_n for_o you_o sometime_o see_v man_n of_o very_o small_a estate_n have_v as_o much_o integrity_n and_o less_o ambition_n than_o some_o man_n of_o great_a fortune_n and_o the_o experience_a virtue_n of_o some_o gentleman_n have_v deserve_o engage_v some_o city_n burrough_n and_o corporation_n to_o choose_v they_o into_o parliament_n though_o they_o live_v at_o london_n or_o other_o part_n of_o england_n very_o remote_a and_o have_v no_o estate_n in_o the_o county_n where_o they_o be_v choose_v but_o there_o be_v one_o error_n we_o be_v apt_a to_o run_v into_o namely_o to_o vote_n for_o this_o or_o other_o man_n because_o he_o buy_v at_o our_o shop_n employ_v we_o at_o work_n or_o treat_v we_o with_o good_a drink_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o suffer_v infinite_o more_o by_o the_o mischief_n do_v to_o the_o public_a through_o our_o representative_n want_v of_o integrity_n or_o ability_n than_o what_o those_o aformentioned_a private_a advantage_n can_v make_v we_o amends_o for_o therefore_o whenever-you_a go_v to_o election_n of_o parliament-man_n lay_v aside_o all_o private_a consideration_n and_o choose_v such_o man_n as_o be_v fit_a and_o best_a able_a to_o represent_v you_o for_o it_o be_v the_o welfare_n of_o the_o whole_a nation_n depend_v upon_o the_o
