either_o to_o your_o person_n or_o to_o the_o kingdom_n who_o you_o represent_v or_o both_o i_o do_v therefore_o most_o humble_o pray_v you_o that_o you_o will_v search_v your_o own_o heart_n and_o inquire_v whether_o there_o be_v not_o some_o cause_n why_o our_o gracious_a god_n do_v thus_o abase_v you_o certain_o a_o father_n use_v not_o to_o spit_v in_o the_o face_n of_o his_o child_n if_o

in_o the_o face_n of_o it_o to_o be_v offer_v to_o a_o parliament_n if_o he_o will_v not_o thereby_o put_v they_o to_o search_v for_o somewhat_o for_o which_o they_o ought_v to_o lay_v themselves_o
