some_o of_o you_o my_o old_a acquaintance_n i_o know_v you_o wish_v i_o no_o hurt_n but_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o good_a and_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o upon_o the_o term_n you_o speak_v of_o may_v have_v the_o king_n favour_n as_o much_o as_o ever_o wherefore_o if_o you_o can_v answer_v i_o to_o one_o question_n i_o will_v perform_v all_o your_o desire_n what_o be_v that_o my_o lord_n say_v one_o and_o all_o of_o they_o it_o be_v this_o say_v the_o bishop_n what_o will_v it_o gain_v a_o man_n to_o win_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o to_o lose_v his_o own_o soul_n whereupon_o after_o some_o little_a talk_n to_o no_o purpose_n they_o all_o leave_v he_o some_o of_o they_o wish_v for_o their_o own_o security_n that_o either_o they_o have_v he_o in_o the_o same_o danger_n that_o they_o be_v in_o or_o else_o that_o they_o be_v endue_v with_o the_o same_o constancy_n of_o mind_n that_o he_o be_v of_o now_o the_o same_o god_n which_o refuse_v he_o comfort_v in_o his_o visitant_n send_v he_o the_o consolation_n of_o a_o fellow_n sufferer_n which_o be_v sir_n thomas_n moor_n the_o fame_n of_o the_o world_n who_o be_v now_o send_v to_o the_o same_o prison_n where_o he_o be_v and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n whereat_o he_o seem_v to_o conceive_v no_o small_a joy_n to_o who_o as_o soon_o as_o opportunity_n will_v give_v leave_n he_o send_v by_o his_o man_n his_o most_o love_a and_o

after_o a_o little_a examination_n as_o how_o many_o letter_n he_o have_v carry_v etc._n etc._n he_o be_v set_v at_o liberty_n with_o a_o strict_a charge_n give_v he_o that_o he_o shall_v carry_v no_o

the_o rest_n of_o the_o lord_n both_o spiritual_a and_o temporal_a have_v do_v or_o not_o to_o which_o the_o b●shop_n after_o some_o pause_n reply_v unto_o they_o my_o lord_n you_o present_v b●fore_o i_o a_o two-edged_a sword_n for_o if_o i_o shall_v answer_v you_o with_o a_o disacknowledgement_n of_o the_o king_n supremacy_n that_o will_v be_v my_o death_n and_o if_o i_o shall_v acknowledge_v the_o same_o perhaps_o contrary_a to_o my_o own_o conscience_n that_o will_v be_v assure_o unto_o i_o worse_o than_o death_n wherefore_o i_o make_v it_o my_o humble_a request_n unto_o you_o that_o you_o will_v bear_v with_o my_o silence_n for_o i_o shall_v not_o make_v any_o direct_a answer_n to_o it_o at_o all_o whereupon_o the_o commissioner_n be_v nothing_o satisfy_v but_o urge_v he_o more_o and_o more_o to_o answer_v one_o way_n or_o other_o direct_o tell_v he_o how_o displease_v such_o kind_n of_o shift_n will_v appear_v unto_o his_o majesty_n how_o much_o the_o king_n be_v former_o displease_v with_o his_o correspondence_n with_o s●r_n thomas_n moor_n wherefore_o say_v the_o lord_n chancellor_n if_o you_o shall_v now_o thus_o use_v he_o you_o will_v exasperate_v his_o grievous_a indignation_n against_o you_o more_o and_o more_o and_o give_v he_o just_a cause_n to_o think_v that_o you_o deal_v more_o stubborn_o with_o he_o than_o well_o become_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o good_a subject_n to_o which_o the_o bishop_n reply_v that_o as_o concern_v the_o letter_n which_o have_v pass_v between_o he_o and_o sir_n thomas_n moor_n he_o wish_v with_o all_o his_o heart_n they_o be_v now_o to_o be_v read_v which_o if_o they_o be_v say_v he_o t●ey_n will_v declare_v more_o innocence_n than_o hurt_v on_o our_o behalf_n most_o of_o they_o be_v only_o friendly_a salutation_n and_o encouragement_n to_o patience_n indeed_o i_o be_v a_o little_a curious_a know_v the_o great_a learning_n and_o profound_a w●t_v that_o be_v in_o the_o man_n to_o know_v what_o answer_n he_o have_v make_v to_o the_o question_n which_o be_v ask_v he_o concern_v the_o statute_n which_o answer_v he_o send_v unto_o i_o as_o i_o have_v send_v unto_o he_o i_o and_o this_o be_v all_o the_o conspiracy_n that_o be_v between_o we_o upon_o that_o conscience_n which_o i_o suffer_v for_o and_o will_v suffer_v ●_o thousand_o death_n before_o ever_o it_o shall_v be_v call_v upon_o by_o i_o to_o justify_v the_o least_o untruth_n and_o whereas_o you_o tell_v i_o that_o his_o majesty_n will_v be_v much_o displease_v with_o i_o for_o this_o doubtful_a kind_n of_o answer_n true_o my_o lord_n no_o man_n shall_v be_v more_o sorry_a for_o the_o king_n displeasure_n than_o he_o that_o tell_v you_o he_o be_v s●rry_a to_o displease_v the_o king_n but_o when_o the_o case_n so_o stand_v that_o in_o speak_v i_o can_v please_v he_o except_o i_o displease_v almighty_a god_n i_o hope_v his_o majesty_n will_v be_v well_o satisfy_v with_o my_o silence_n then_o say_v mr._n cromwell_n wherein_o do_v you_o more_o than_o other_o man_n who_o have_v satisfy_v the_o king_n desire_n herein_o think_v you_o sh●ll_v displease_v almighty_a god_n b●cause_v say_v the_o b●sh●op_n i_o know_v how_o my_o own_o conscience_n dictate_v to_o i_o but_o do_v not_o how_o another_o may_v inform_v he_o if_o your_o conscience_n be_v so_o settle_v say_v my_o lord_n chancellor_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o you_o can_v give_v we_o some_o good_a reason_n for_o it_o ind●e●_n my_o lord_n say_v the_o b●shop_n i_o think_v i_o be_o able_a to_o give_v your_o lordship_n reason_n that_o perhaps_o may_v seem_v sufficient_a why_o my_o conscience_n stand_v affect_v as_o it_o do_v and_o can_v be_v well_o content_v that_o you_o hear_v they_o can_v i_o declare_v my_o mind_n with_o safety_n and_o without_o offence_n unto_o his_o majesty_n and_o his_o law_n after_o which_o not_o a_o word_n more_o be_v speak_v for_o that_o time_n but_o call_v for_o the_o lieutenant_n they_o re-delivered_n he_o unto_o his_o custody_n give_v the_o lieutenant_n a_o strict_a charge_n that_o no_o further_a conference_n or_o message_n shall_v pass_v between_o he_o and_o sir_n thomas_n moor_n or_o any_o other_o all_o which_o be_v
