fault_n and_o then_o he_o know_v what_o to_o say_v unto_o i_o to_o who_o i_o reply_v have_v their_o honour_n cause_v i_o to_o be_v whip_v from_o the_o fleet_n to_o westminster_n and_o do_v they_o

for_o the_o cause_n of_o my_o god_n i_o have_v find_v already_o that_o sweetness_n in_o he_o in_o who_o i_o have_v believe_v that_o through_o his_o strength_n i_o be_o able_a to_o undergo_v any_o

the_o party_n have_v most_o false_o forswear_a himself_n and_o because_o i_o will_v not_o take_v a_o oath_n to_o betray_v my_o own_o innocency_n why_o paul_n find_v more_o favour_n and_o mercy_n from_o the_o heathen_a roman-governor_n for_o they_o will_v not_o put_v he_o to_o a_o oath_n to_o accuse_v himself_o but_o suffer_v he_o to_o make_v the_o best_a defence_n he_o can_v for_o himself_o neither_o will_v they_o condemn_v he_o before_o his_o accuser_n and_o he_o be_v bring_v face_n to_o face_n to_o justify_v and_o full_o to_o prove_v their_o accusation_n but_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o deal_v so_o with_o i_o for_o my_o accuser_n and_o i_o be_v never_o bring_v face_n to_o to_o face_n to_o justify_v their_o accusation_n against_o i_o it_o be_v true_a two_o false_a oath_n be_v swear_v against_o i_o and_o i_o be_v thereupon_o condemn_v and_o because_o i_o will_v not_o accuse_v myself_o it_o be_v true_a say_v he_o it_o be_v so_o with_o paul_n but_o the_o law_n of_o this_o land_n be_v otherwise_o then_o their_o law_n be_v in_o those_o day_n then_o say_v i_o they_o be_v worse_o and_o more_o cruel_a than_o the_o law_n of_o the_o pagan_n and_o heathen_a roman_n be_v who_o will_v condemn_v no_o man_n without_o witness_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v bring_v face_n to_o face_n to_o justify_v their_o accusation_n and_o so_o he_o go_v away_o &_o i_o prepare_v myself_o for_o the_o

nay_o it_o be_v worse_a than_o the_o law_n of_o the_o heathen_a roman_n as_o we_o may_v read_v act._n 25.16_o for_o when_o paul_n stand_v before_o the_o pagan_a governor_n and_o the_o law_n require_v
