which_o be_v charge_v against_o i_o do_v consist_v in_o a_o narrow_a compass_n the_o substance_n whereof_o i_o conceive_v will_v come_v within_o the_o three_o head_n follow_v 1._o that_o i_o with_o

propound_v consult_v advise_v attempt_v imagine_v or_o any_o way_n council_n the_o death_n of_o his_o late_a majesty_n than_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v not_o be_v find_v guilty_a my_o lord_n i_o be_v appoint_v together_o with_o doctor_n dorisleus_n and_o mr._n ask_v to_o consider_v and_o contrive_v a_o charge_n against_o the_o king_n and_o have_v a_o order_n send_v i_o to_o that_o purpose_n now_o my_o lord_n i_o conceive_v that_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o i_o do_v that_o maliciouf_o which_o i_o be_v require_v and_o have_v a_o order_n to_o do_v i_o act_v in_o my_o sphere_n as_o a_o counsellor_n and_o no_o otherwise_o and_o not_o exceed_v the_o bound_n of_o that_o aforesaid_a order_n the_o next_o thing_n i_o desire_v to_o plead_v to_o my_o lord_n that_o word_n will_v not_o amount_v to_o high_a treason_n and_o word_n be_v all_o that_o i_o be_o tax_v with_o word_n may_v declare_v a_o man_n to_o be_v a_o heretic_n but_o not_o a_o traitor_n but_o it_o be_v object_v that_o i_o put_v that_o treason_n into_o writing_n to_o which_o my_o lord_n i_o answer_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o full_a proof_n that_o i_o set_v my_o hand_n to_o that_o charge_n that_o which_o i_o write_v be_v only_o after_o another_o as_o it_o be_v dictate_v to_o i_o &_o although_o the_o word_n be_v treason_n in_o themselves_o yet_o i_o only_o write_v they_o after_o another_o that_o speak_v they_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v not_o be_v account_v treason_n in_o i_o consider_v that_o treason_n come_v from_o a_o traitorous_a heart_n and_o a_o secret_a imagination_n to_o do_v the_o act._n the_o next_o thing_n be_v this_o my_o lord_n it_o be_v say_v that_o i_o pray_v the_o justice_n of_o the_o court_n against_o the_o king_n i_o hope_v my_o lord_n that_o that_o very_a thing_n can_v be_v call_v treason_n for_o if_o the_o word_n be_v consider_v in_o the_o plain_a legal_a genuine_a and_o conspicuous_a interpretation_n it_o will_v bear_v no_o other_o construction_n than_o this_o that_o whereas_o those_o gentleman_n bring_v the_o king_n to_o the_o bar_n it_o be_v pray_v by_o i_o that_o they_o will_v do_v he_o justice_n i_o hope_v it_o will_v appear_v that_o i_o have_v good_a council_n and_o that_o i_o do_v not_o exceed_v the_o bound_n of_o my_o employment_n i_o put_v no_o other_o word_n within_o that_o charge_n but_o what_o be_v within_o the_o order_n which_o authorize_v that_o court._n now_o my_o lord_n if_o i_o only_o proceed_v according_a to_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o cause_n and_o declare_v only_o in_o general_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v according_a to_o justice_n and_o that_o must_v be_v according_a to_o law_n i_o hope_v my_o lord_n that_o where_o a_o double_a construction_n may_v be_v make_v of_o the_o word_n the_o most_o favourable_a may_v be_v interpret_v for_o i_o especial_o since_o where_o there_o be_v a_o desire_n of_o do_v justice_n there_o can_v be_v no_o intention_n of_o injustice_n for_o my_o lord_n if_o justice_n be_v demand_v and_o injustice_n do_v thereupon_o i_o can_v not_o any_o way_n help_v it_o i_o say_v my_o lord_n there_o be_v a_o double_a construction_n of_o the_o word_n demand_v justice_n or_o judgement_n a_o judgement_n of_o acquittal_n and_o of_o condemnation_n now_o my_o lord_n if_o those_o that_o be_v entrust_v with_o that_o business_n know_v no_o law_n to_o take_v away_o his_o majesty_n life_n and_o i_o only_o demand_v their_o judgement_n do_v not_o give_v i_o and_o i_o appeal_v to_o those_o learned_a gentleman_n that_o be_v skill_v in_o the_o law_n whether_o they_o have_v not_o be_v sorry_a when_o a_o cause_n have_v go_v on_o their_o client_n side_n when_o they_o have_v find_v the_o cause_n wrong_v and_o so_o be_v i_o in_o this_o again_o my_o lord_n i_o desire_v your_o lordship_n to_o consider_v that_o his_o majesty_n condition_n at_o that_o time_n be_v very_o sad_a as_o be_v a_o prisoner_n under_o force_n of_o a_o army_n etc._n etc._n i_o hope_v my_o lord_n that_o my_o draw_v up_o a_o charge_n against_o he_o advise_o be_v rather_o a_o service_n to_o he_o then_o a_o disservice_n in_o regard_n that_o to_o make_v his_o trial_n the_o more_o speedy_a be_v to_o desire_v his_o releasement_n as_o know_v no_o law_n to_o detain_v he_o and_o therefore_o to_o pray_v proceed_n according_o to_o justice_n be_v but_o to_o desire_v his_o discharge_n which_o i_o hope_v will_v beget_v in_o your_o lordship_n a_o better_a reputation_n of_o i_o then_o a_o traitor_n he_o proceed_v to_o
