of_o bedford_n upon_o the_o misfortune_n of_o the_o imprisonment_n of_o his_o son_n after_o he_o have_v do_v my_o lord_n howard_n come_v to_o second_v that_o part_n of_o a_o christian_n office_n

noble_a lord_n my_o lord_n clare_n tell_v you_o that_o he_o have_v some_o discourse_n with_o my_o lord_n howard_n and_o he_o say_v that_o if_o he_o be_v accuse_v he_o think_v they_o will_v but_o tell_v nose_n and_o his_o business_n be_v do_v then_o mr._n philip_n howard_n he_o tell_v you_o how_o he_o be_v not_o so_o intimate_v with_o he_o as_o other_o but_o he_o often_o come_v to_o his_o

and_o then_o he_o press_v he_o about_o the_o business_n of_o the_o address_n but_o that_o now_o my_o lord_n of_o essex_n be_v out_o of_o town_n and_o so_o it_o go_v off_o another_o thing_n mr._n sidney_n take_v notice_n of_o say_v he_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o revenge_n in_o my_o lord_n howard_n for_o he_o owe_v he_o a_o debt_n that_o he_o do_v beside_o by_o his_o allegation_n do_v not_o

to_o the_o king_n and_o he_o can_v be_v a_o farthing_n the_o better_a for_o it_o but_o how_o do_v it_o look_v like_a revenge_n i_o find_v my_o lord_n howard_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o colonel_n sidney_n say_v he_o be_v more_o behold_v to_o he_o than_o any_o body_n and_o be_v more_o sorry_a for_o he_o so_o say_v my_o lord_n clare_n gentleman_n you_o have_v it_o likewise_o offer_v that_o he_o

this_o be_v likewise_o prove_v by_o a_o couple_n of_o maid_n servant_n as_o well_o as_o the_o french_a man._n you_o have_v likewise_o some_o thing_n to_o the_o same_o purpose_n say_v by_o my_o lord_n paget_n and_o this_o be_v offer_v to_o take_v off_o the_o credibility_n of_o my_o lord_n howard_n do_v you_o believe_v because_o my_o lord_n howard_n do_v not_o tell_v they_o i_o be_o in_o a_o conspiracy_n to_o kill_v the_o king_n therefore_o he_o know_v nothing_o of_o it_o he_o know_v these_o person_n be_v man_n of_o honour_n and_o will_v not_o be_v concern_v in_o any_o such_o thing_n but_o do_v you_o think_v because_o a_o man_n go_v about_o and_o deny_v his_o be_v in_o a_o plot_n therefore_o he_o be_v not_o in_o it_o nay_o it_o seem_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o evidence_n of_o his_o innocence_n that_o it_o be_v a_o evidence_n of_o his_o gild_n what_o shall_v provoke_v a_o man_n to_o discourse_v after_o

carry_v on_o thus_o it_o have_v neither_o officer_n nor_o soldier_n no_o place_n no_o time_n no_o money_n for_o it_o that_o which_o he_o say_v last_o time_n which_o he_o forgotnow_v he_o talk_v of_o twenty_o five_o or_o thirty_o thousand_o pound_n but_o no_o man_n know_v where_o it_o be_v to_o be_v have_v but_o last_o time_n he_o say_v it_o be_v speak_v in_o jest_n now_o this_o be_v a_o pretty_a cabal_n that_o six_o man_n shall_v meet_v about_o a_o business_n and_o they_o neglect_v every_o one_o of_o the_o point_n relate_v to_o the_o thing_n they_o meet_v about_o make_v no_o step_n about_o the_o business_n and_o if_o any_o one_o do_v speak_v of_o it_o it_o be_v but_o in_o jest_n this_o be_v a_o very_a deep_a maintain_v of_o the_o plot._n then_o my_o lord_n as_o to_o these_o paper_n i_o do_v not_o think_v i_o be_o to_o give_v any_o account_n of_o they_o i_o will_v say_v nothing_o to_o the_o disparagement_n of_o sir_n philip_n lloyd_n i_o never_o see_v he_o till_o he_o cause_n to_o

of_o france_n be_v violent_a and_o absolute_a but_o yet_o a_o few_o year_n ago_o a_o minister_n of_o state_n have_v his_o paper_n take_v from_o he_o and_o abundance_n of_o they_o have_v dangerous_a

it_o be_v a_o irreparable_a fault_n in_o the_o process_n and_o that_o save_v he_o the_o similitude_n of_o hand_n be_v nothing_o we_o know_v that_o hand_n will_v be_v counterfeit_v so_o that_o no_o man_n shall_v know_v his_o own_o hand_n a_o gentleman_n that_o be_v now_o dead_a tell_v i_o that_o my_o lord_n arlington_n about_o five_o year_n ago_o desire_v he_o to_o write_v a_o letter_n and_o

very_a paper_n such_o as_o they_o be_v do_v abhor_v as_o much_o as_o any_o one_o can_v such_o a_o design_n look_v upon_o they_o you_o see_v they_o be_v all_o old_a ink._n these_o paper_n may_v be_v write_v perhaps_o these_o twenty_o year_n the_o ink_n be_v so_o old_a but_o my_o lord_n it_o be_v a_o polemical_a discourse_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o answer_n to_o filmer_n which_o be_v not_o calculate_v for_o any_o particular_a government_n in_o the_o world_n it_o go_v only_o upon_o these_o general_a principle_n that_o according_a to_o the_o universal_a law_n of_o god_n and_o nature_n there_o be_v but_o one_o government_n in_o the_o world_n and_o that_o be_v entire_a and_o absolute_a and_o that_o the_o king_n can_v be_v bind_v by_o no_o law_n by_o no_o oath_n but_o he_o may_v
