2 CONC

To the Honourable the President,

2 CONC Sir,

2 CONC I need not take any pains to convince Your Honour how great a misfortune it is to live
2 CONC in a constant ill state of health. The inconveniency is so great even in my private
2 CONC affairs, that I find myself under a necessity of banishing all thoughts of acting
2 CONC in any publick Post whatever; I am very well assr'd I should never be able to discharge
2 CONC my Duty to my Country with the least Pleasure or satisfaction to my self, since I can
2 CONC have no hopes of exerting my self with that Vigour and application, which is so
2 CONC indispensably necessary to every man, who values his own Reputation, or has the interest
2 CONC of his COuntry at heart.
2 CONC

I think my selfe under a great many obligations for the Honour designed me, and
2 CONC tho' with the greatest reluctancy, yet I must beg leave to be excused from obeying
2 CONC Your Commands, and am Your Honour's
2 CONC

Most obedient Humble servant,
REYNOLD ALLEYNE
Four Hills,

2 CONC December ye 12th, 1721.
