of_o his_o former_a in_o advertency_n and_o miscarriage_n herein_o it_o be_v a_o unworthy_a and_o inbecoming_a action_n and_o sure_o i_o be_o no_o sober_a mind_n will_v do_v it_o inasmuch_o as_o there_o be_v a_o act_n of_o indemnity_n pass_v by_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_o to_o have_v all_o these_o thing_n bury_v in_o the_o ember_n of_o oblivion_n and_o forgetfulness_n and_o that_o they_o

and_o if_o in_o case_n they_o be_v in_o the_o same_o capacity_n they_o will_v never_o run_v again_o the_o same_o extreme_n and_o i_o can_v wish_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n that_o these_o book_n that_o

the_o objection_n lie_v herein_o viz._n that_o you_o have_v lay_v out_o so_o much_o money_n already_o upon_o the_o rebuild_n of_o your_o royal_a exchange_n and_o that_o in_o reason_n you_o ought_v
