news_n from_o purgatory_n or_o the_o jesuit_n legacy_n to_o all_o their_o love_a friend_n in_o all_o city_n and_o all_o country_n we_o have_v long_o since_o most_o noble_a friend_n leave_v you_o

mr._n l_o our_o fellow-labourer_n and_o deserve_v indeed_o at_o the_o same_o time_n to_o have_v be_v a_o fellow-sufferer_n though_o the_o subtlety_n of_o his_o evasion_n obtain_v a_o small_a respite_n from_o the_o execution_n of_o justice_n for_o which_o he_o have_v now_o suffer_v the_o same_o fate_n for_o as_o he_o be_v a_o spirit_n of_o profound_a knowledge_n in_o the_o deep_a mystery_n of_o the_o law_n so_o be_v he_o of_o great_a use_n for_o his_o singular_a trust_n in_o the_o management_n of_o the_o same_o for_o though_o these_o region_n be_v very_o well_o stock_v with_o gownsman_n especial_o priest_n and_o lawyer_n yet_o can_v we_o not_o in_o all_o this_o numerous_a crowd_n find_v out_o one_o devil_n though_o some_o thousand_o year_n experience_v in_o all_o the_o villainy_n of_o man_n who_o we_o may_v entrust_v in_o this_o concern_v like_o he_o who_o as_o he_o be_v best_o acquaint_v with_o our_o estate_n and_o write_n privy_a to_o all_o our_o council_n and_o debate_n can_v in_o the_o most_o profound_a and_o legal_a method_n convey_v they_o to_o your_o lordship_n we_o need_v not_o tell_v you_o with_o what_o obstinacy_n of_o resolution_n and_o unparalleled_a impudence_n we_o perish_v to_o the_o last_o gasp_n even_o to_o the_o defiance_n of_o truth_n and_o abjuration_n of_o heaven_n for_o the_o holy_a catholic_n cause_n and_o must_v exhort_v you_o by_o our_o example_n to_o continue_v obstinate_a to_o the_o end_n that_o heretic_n get_v no_o advantage_n against_o we_o that_o your_o life_n may_v be_v think_v innocent_a and_o the_o credulous_a multitude_n pity_v your_o suffering_n you_o may_v daily_o gain_v proselyte_n into_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o mother_n church_n but_o we_o hope_v such_o cognisance_n be_v not_o necessary_a for_o you_o my_o thrice_o noble_a friend_n the_o great_a atlas_n of_o our_o papal_a heaven_n who_o large_a soul_n be_v a_o great_a testimony_n of_o your_o integrity_n then_o our_o example_n can_v express_v for_o which_o you_o deserve_v the_o eternal_a praise_n and_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n and_o which_o we_o to_o the_o most_o excellent_a worth_n of_o your_o most_o noble_a person_n with_o a_o ample_a
