private_o up_o and_o down_o among_o parliament_n man_n that_o i_o late_o take_v a_o false_a oath_n at_o haberdasher_n hall_n about_o the_o colliery_a at_o harraton_n unto_o which_o i_o shall_v answer_v no_o more_o at_o present_a but_o this_o that_o the_o business_n be_v of_o many_o thousand_o pound_n consequence_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la of_o concernment_n to_o other_o man_n and_o i_o will_v be_v very_o loath_a in_o a_o hasty_a apology_n for_o myself_o to_o let_v any_o thing_n drop_n that_o may_v give_v any_o just_a occasion_n to_o the_o judge_n there_o to_o be_v peevish_a and_o thereby_o to_o have_v any_o colourable_a pretence_n to_o put_v off_o the_o ●inall_a judgement_n of_o the_o case_n long_o than_o tuesday_n next_o in_o the_o afternoon_n the_o time_n appoint_v for_o it_o after_o many_o day_n hear_v and_o many_o hour_n already_o expend_v in_o private_a debate_n among_o the_o judge_n themselves_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o entreat_v every_o ingenious_a man_n to_o suspend_v his_o censure_v of_o i_o for_o a_o few_o day_n after_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o say_a cause_n and_o if_o then_o i_o do_v not_o with_o as_o much_o ease_n blow_v off_o all_o that_o dirt_n

in_o these_o word_n or_o to_o this_o effect_n that_o i_o very_o much_o commend_v sir_n arthur_n for_o his_o wisdom_n to_o save_v himself_o for_o he_o can_v not_o be_v so_o ignorant_a to_o imagine_v but_o that_o i_o very_o well_o know_v those_o commissioner_n have_v no_o power_n to_o question_v he_o for_o though_o it_o be_v as_o he_o be_v there_o subsequestrator_n in_o the_o county_n of_o

before_o they_o that_o have_v no_o jurisdiction_n over_o he_o but_o absolute_o inferior_a to_o he_o i_o shall_v be_v laugh_v at_o for_o my_o pain_n and_o they_o if_o they_o shall_v be_v so_o misunderstand_v of_o their_o own_o authority_n as_o to_o assume_v jurisdiction_n over_o he_o upon_o my_o complaint_n and_o thereupon_o go_v about_o to_o punish_v he_o they_o may_v very_o well_o be_v

to_o do_v unto_o but_o as_o i_o tell_v the_o chairman_n sir_n arthur_n say_v i_o have_v print_v a_o book_n late_o against_o he_o in_o which_o he_o say_v i_o call_v he_o traitor_n tyrant_n and_o worse_o than_o strafford_n unto_o which_o i_o answer_v to_o this_o effect_n sir_n it_o be_v true_a i_o have_v write_v and_o cause_v a_o late_a book_n to_o be_v print_v against_o he_o in_o which_o its_o possible_a such_o expression_n may_v be_v and_o if_o there_o be_v i_o will_v justify_v and_o prove_v they_o at_o my_o utmost_a peril_n and_o that_o sir_n arthur_n and_o all_o the_o company_n may_v know_v that_o i_o be_o not_o afraid_a nor_o ashamed_a to_o own_o the_o say_a book_n be_v it_o know_v to_o he_o that_o since_o i_o last_o come_v to_o town_n i_o take_v the_o boldness_n upon_o i_o as_o to_o wait_v upon_o the_o general_n under_o who_o command_n i_o look_v upon_o sir_n arthur_n as_o he_o be_v a_o colonel_n to_o be_v and_o i_o tell_v he_o a_o little_a of_o sir_n arthur_n tyranny_n which_o i_o tell_v he_o be_v somewhat_o full_o express_v in_o a_o late_a book_n of_o i_o one_o of_o which_o i_o give_v he_o and_o bege_v he_o to_o read_v it_o serious_o further_o tell_v he_o it_o be_v

and_o we_o will_v tie_v ourselves_o in_o bond_n to_o stand_v to_o his_o judgement_n but_o he_o put_v it_o off_o as_o be_v full_a of_o business_n upon_o which_o in_o the_o second_o place_n hear_v that_o in_o parliament_n there_o be_v to_o be_v some_o question_n of_o the_o speaker_n i_o haste_v away_o as_o fast_o as_o i_o can_v to_o their_o door_n suppose_v it_o a_o very_a fit_a season_n for_o i_o to_o get_v my_o complaint_n against_o sir_n arthur_n hear_v before_o they_o that_o have_v a_o proper_a jurisdiction_n over_o he_o and_o at_o the_o door_n of_o the_o parliament_n meet_v with_o a_o

of_o i_o in_o which_o it_o be_v contain_v and_o acquaint_v the_o house_n with_o it_o and_o tell_v they_o it_o be_v i_o give_v to_o he_o to_o bring_v in_o and_o i_o be_v at_o the_o door_n ready_a at_o
