down ye county to seducc people
from their obedience, and dismiss
such Of them as you shall have
cause to believe have been unfaith-
full. and are not ilt for ye trust
for ye future with brand upon
them; and put In yo names OF
such persons In my blank commits
sion as you shall Judge most hon
est and true 10 our Just interest
And II you md any former magls-
trate so guilty as 10 deserve 10 be
brought upon his tryall, either try
him there. or let him be brought
up 10 be tryed here; but be as
sured that one judgment Of ye jury
OF that county were worth two OF
any Jury OF this province; And
therefore, l charge you to be In
dustrious to try ye people upon
some OF the charges against ye
proprietary, showing ye mischiefs
they are allowing, but not upon ye
whole, as srraigning particulars In
ye colony and ye county, and brand
Ing ye inhabitants with treachery
and rebellion. And II this sue
ceedeth In inflaming them against
We men who are most guilty In re-
spect TO ye multitude, Immediately
try those two, and make them pay
ye reckoning for ye whole, unless
you think II flt TO have such brought
hlther.
"Fourth-In ye next place let ye
sheriff be apprehended, and brought
UP with ye rest; and doe you put
In ye name OF such a person In my
blank commission, as you shall be
advised upon ye spott, but be sure
he be honest and bold, that at such
a time as this will try ye strength
OF his authority; for such an one
In an emergency, may keep or drive

that / being a governor upon my
own costs hitherto, and separated
from ye greatest comforts of my
life-my wife and children-for ye
good OF all, | hope my half Of my
quit-rents 10 supply me with
bread, will not be made a rea-
son Of rebellion by men in their
Wits, that love their own lives
and estates.
"When you have settled your
temporal business the best you can,
which TO your truth and wisdom /
refer, / should be glad you had a
good meeting or two amongst them,
and II even derious rebukes with
truth mkt with sorrow for, and

beseech God TO strengthen your
hearts, and give yu all wisdom in
ye commission in ye transacting Of
these weighty matters, that ye
name OF ye Lord may be glorifled
and exalted-we all comforted and
established, 10 His praise, who is
our Rock forever. Given at Phila-
