in_o a_o time_n when_o that_o time_n be_v so_o far_o elapse_v the_o next_o matter_n be_v that_o this_o man_n be_v never_o with_o my_o lord_n how_o be_v that_o prove_v for_o it_o be_v a_o negative_a

with_o my_o lord_n design_n of_o the_o king_n death_n be_v too_o great_a a_o matter_n to_o lodge_v with_o one_o with_o who_o my_o lord_n have_v no_o more_o acquaintance_n than_o he_o have_v with_o

if_o they_o have_v make_v it_o never_o so_o much_o worse_o it_o can_v be_v so_o horrid_a as_o i_o have_v often_o fancy_v it_o myself_o for_o my_o lord_n i_o do_v and_o do_v ever_o hold_v treason_n to_o be_v the_o great_a sin_n in_o the_o world_n and_o i_o can_v use_v word_n enough_o to_o express_v it_o and_o therefore_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o clear_v myself_o of_o it_o
