wherein_o we_o more_o need_v man_n of_o wisdom_n courage_n and_o integrity_n who_o will_v not_o quit_v their_o duty_n either_o for_o want_v of_o consideration_n for_o favour_n reward_n or_o fear_n the_o first_o and_o second_o of_o these_o accomplishment_n i_o suspect_v not_o for_o that_o in_o such_o a_o numerous_a assembly_n there_o can_v want_v some_o wise_a bold_a man_n who_o will_v be_v

either_o from_o fear_n of_o lose_v what_o a_o man_n now_o enjoy_v or_o hope_v of_o gain_v what_o he_o yet_o have_v not_o for_o though_o man_n may_v talk_v high_a and_o keep_v a_o great_a noise_n with_o conscience_n and_o love_n to_o their_o country_n yet_o when_o you_o come_v to_o understand_v mankind_n aright_o not_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v but_o as_o it_o be_v and_o ever_o will_v be_v then_o will_v you_o find_v that_o private_a interest_n be_v the_o string_n in_o the_o bear_n be_v nose_n it_o be_v that_o which_o govern_v the_o beast_n therefore_o by_o this_o observation_n we_o may_v

that_o attend_v the_o trust_n of_o a_o member_n of_o parliament_n faithful_o discharge_v it_o be_v very_o suspicious_a and_o reflect_v upon_o their_o honesty_n if_o any_o such_o stand_n and_o i_o
