will_v clear_v i_o of_o it_o i_o will_v not_o i_o be_o in_o charity_n god_n forbid_v that_o i_o shall_v lay_v it_o on_o the_o two_o house_n of_o parliament_n there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o

so_o that_o by_o way_n of_o speak_v as_o i_o find_v myself_o clear_a of_o this_o i_o hope_v and_o pray_v god_n that_o they_o may_v too_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o god_n forbid_v that_o i_o shall_v be_v so_o ill_a a_o christian_n as_o not_o to_o say_v that_o god_n judgement_n be_v just_a upon_o i_o many_o time_n he_o do_v pay_v justice_n by_o a_o unjust_a sentence_n that_o be_v ordinary_a i_o will_v

say_v to_o show_v you_o that_o i_o be_o a_o innocent_a man._n now_o for_o to_o show_v you_o that_o i_o be_o a_o good_a christian_a bishop_n i_o hope_v there_o be_v a_o good_a man_n that_o will_v bear_v i_o witness_v that_o i_o have_v forgive_v all_o the_o world_n and_o even_o those_o in_o particular_a that_o have_v be_v the_o chief_a causer_n of_o my_o death_n who_o they_o be_v god_n know_v i_o do_v not_o desire_v to_o know_v i_o pray_v god_n forgive_v they_o but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o my_o charity_n must_v go_v further_a i_o wish_v that_o they_o may_v repent_v for_o indeed_o they_o have_v commit_v a_o great_a sin_n in_o that_o particular_a i_o pray_v god_n with_o st._n stephen_n that_o this_o be_v not_o lay_v to_o their_o charge_n nay_o not_o only_o so_o but_o that_o they_o may_v take_v the_o right_a way_n to_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n for_o my_o charity_n command_v i_o not_o only_o to_o forgive_v particular_a man_n but_o my_o charity_n command_v i_o to_o

further_o that_o they_o may_v endeavour_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n write_v now_o sir_n i_o must_v show_v you_o both_o how_o you_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o will_v put_v you_o in_o a_o way_n first_o you_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n for_o certain_o all_o the_o way_n you_o ever_o have_v have_v yet_o as_o i_o can_v find_v by_o any_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o conquest_n certain_o this_o be_v a_o ill_a way_n for_o conquest_n sir_n in_o my_o opinion_n be_v never_o just_a except_o there_o be_v a_o good_a just_a cause_n either_o for_o matter_n of_o wrong_n or_o just_a

it_o be_v only_a matter_n of_o conquest_n than_o it_o be_v a_o great_a robbery_n as_o a_o pirate_n say_v to_o alexander_n the_o great_a that_o he_o be_v the_o great_a robber_n he_o be_v but_o a_o petty_a robber_n and_o so_o sir_n i_o do_v think_v the_o way_n that_o you_o be_v in_o be_v much_o out_o of_o the_o way_n now_o sir_n for_o to_o put_v you_o in_o the_o way_n believe_v it_o you_o will_v never_o do_v right_a nor_o god_n will_v never_o prosper_v you_o until_o you_o give_v god_n his_o due_a the_o king_n his_o due_z that_o be_v my_o successor_n and_o the_o people_n their_o due_a i_o be_o as_o much_o for_o they_o as_o any_o of_o you_o you_o must_v give_v god_n his_o due_a by_o regulate_v right_o his_o church_n according_a to_o his_o scripture_n which_o be_v now_o out_o of_o order_n for_o to_o set_v you_o in_o a_o way_n particular_o now_o i_o can_v but_o only_o this_o a_o national_a synod_n free_o call_v free_o debate_v among_o themselves_o must_v settle_v this_o when_o that_o every_o opinion_n be_v free_o and_o clear_o hear_v for_o the_o king_n indeed_o i_o will_v not_o then_o turn_v to_o a_o gentleman_n that_o touch_v the_o axe_n he_o say_v hurt_v not_o the_o axe_n that_o may_v hurt_v i_o for_o the_o king_n the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n will_v clear_o instruct_v you_o for_o that_o therefore_o because_o it_o concern_v my_o own_o particular_a i_o only_o give_v you_o a_o touch_v of_o it_o for_o the_o people_n and_o true_o i_o desire_v their_o liberty_n and_o freedom_n as_o much_o as_o any_o body_n whosoever_o but_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o their_o liberty_n and_o freedom_n consist_v in_o have_v of_o government_n those_o law_n by_o which_o their_o life_n and_o their_o good_n may_v be_v most_o their_o own_o it_o be_v not_o for_o have_v share_n in_o government_n sir_n that_o be_v nothing_o pertain_v to_o they_o a_o subject_a and_o a_o sovereign_n be_v clear_a different_a thing_n and_o therefore_o until_o they_o do_v that_o i_o mean_v that_o you_o do_v put_v the_o people_n in_o that_o liberty_n as_o i_o say_v certain_o they_o will_v never_o enjoy_v themselves_o sir_n it_o be_v for_o this_o that_o now_o i_o be_o come_v here_o if_o i_o will_v have_v give_v way_n to_o a_o arbitrary_a way_n for_o to_o have_v all_o law_n change_v according_a to_o the_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n i_o need_v not_o to_o have_v come_v here_o and_o therefore_o i_o tell_v you_o and_o i_o pray_v god_n it_o be_v not_o lay_v to_o your_o charge_n that_o i_o be_o the_o martyr_n of_o the_o people_n in_o troth_n sir_n i_o shall_v not_o hold_v you_o much_o long_o for_o i_o will_v only_o say_v this_o to_o you_o that_o in_o truth_n i_o can_v have_v desire_v some_o little_a time_n long_o because_o that_o i_o will_v have_v put_v this_o that_o i_o have_v say_v in_o

that_o you_o do_v take_v those_o course_n that_o be_v best_o for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o your_o own_o salvation_n then_o the_o bishop_n say_v though_o it_o be_v very_o well_o know_v
