that_o a_o unjust_a sentence_n that_o i_o suffer_v to_o take_v effect_n be_v punish_v by_o a_o unjust_a sentence_n upon_o i_o so_o far_o i_o have_v say_v to_o show_v you_o that_o i_o be_o a_o

command_v i_o not_o only_o to_o forgive_v particular_a man_n but_o endeavour_n to_o the_o last_o gasp_n the_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n so_o sir_n i_o do_v with_o all_o my_o soul_n i_o see_v there_o be_v some_o here_o that_o will_v carry_v it_o far_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n sir_n i_o must_v show_v you_o how_o you_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o put_v you_o in_o the_o way_n first_o you_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n for_o certay_o all_o the_o way_n you_o ever_o have_v yet_o as_o far_o as_o ever_o i_o can_v find_v by_o any_o thing_n if_o 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 in_o my_o opinion_n be_v never_o just_a except_o there_o be_v a_o good_a and_o just_a cause_n either_o for_o matter_n of_o wrong_n or_o a_o just_a title_n and_o then_o if_o you_o go_v beyond_o the_o first_o quarrel_n that_o make_v that_o unjust_a at_o the_o end_n that_o be_v just_o at_o first_o for_o if_o there_o be_v only_a matter_n of_o conquest_n than_o it_o be_v a_o robbery_n as_o a_o pirate_n say_v to_o alexander_n that_o he_o be_v a_o great_a robber_n himself_o be_v but_o a_o petty_a robber_n and_o so_o sir_n i_o think_v for_o

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_a 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 the_o church_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v now_o out_o of_o order_n and_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 every_o opinion_n be_v free_o hear_v for_o the_o king_n indeed_o i_o will_v not_o 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_n of_o it_o for_o the_o people_n 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

government_n that_o be_v nothing_o appertain_v to_o they_o a_o subject_a and_o a_o sovereign_n be_v clear_a differ_v thing_n and_o therefore_o until_o you_o do_v that_o i_o mean_v that_o you_o put_v the_o people_n into_o that_o liberty_n as_o i_o say_v 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 hither_o for_o if_o i_o will_v have_v give_v
