framed They embrace only political SUBJECTS such pot
cal parties have right to differ about The position of the
composing this convention will exort respect. The
of their old associates have gone and left them small
They would not be tempted by party associates

refused go with the multitude do evil They do their
thinking, and need advice. Let them proceed If
they bring their old associates out of secret oath
bound Jacobnica association they will perform import
ant service"
