sure_o england_n stand_v guilty_a of_o a_o thousand_o miscarriage_n and_o yet_o i_o understand_v there_o be_v with_o our_o king_n as_o with_o our_o god_n but_o one_o sin_n unpardonable_a and_o why_o that_o one_o sure_o there_o be_v mercy_n enough_o in_o our_o god_n and_o in_o our_o king_n to_o pardon_v even_o this_o sin_n also_o but_o there_o be_v not_o a_o capacity_n in_o the_o sin_n itself_o to_o be_v pardon_v it_o may_v be_v pardon_v but_o can_v dread_a sir_n as_o to_o the_o death_n of_o your_o royal_a father_n now_o with_o god_n i_o think_v this_o discourse_n do_v sufficient_o

who_o i_o hope_v have_v nothing_o but_o repentance_n and_o shame_n to_o plead_v for_o themselves_o but_o sir_n there_o be_v some_o petty_a traitor_n some_o vnder-rebel_n who_o as_o they_o now_o need_v so_o i_o hope_v in_o time_n by_o tear_n and_o obedience_n may_v deserve_v your_o majesty_n mercy_n there_o be_v some_o person_n among_o we_o i_o dare_v not_o say_v man_n of_o more_o religion_n than_o

act_v against_o your_o majesty_n yet_o what_o they_o have_v do_v they_o have_v rather_o do_v by_o other_o man_n head_n than_o their_o own_o hand_n it_o be_v far_o from_o i_o to_o excuse_v the_o sin_n yet_o will_v i_o fain_o interpose_v for_o the_o person_n when_o i_o consider_v what_o these_o man_n have_v do_v indeed_o they_o look_v like_o object_n of_o justice_n but_o when_o i_o consider_v what_o
