and_o alter_v it_o from_o what_o they_o at_o first_o design_v it_o the_o king_n council_n may_v have_v have_v a_o new_a bill_n find_v but_o peradventure_o they_o can_v not_o prevail_v with_o that_o grand_a jury_n to_o have_v find_v a_o new_a bill_n they_o remember_v they_o have_v ill_a luck_n with_o the_o first_o bill_n at_o london_n that_o i_o believe_v be_v the_o true_a reason_n but_o

with_o the_o chief_a justice_n which_o be_v both_o a_o undecent_a and_o a_o unjust_a thing_n and_o be_v neither_o better_a nor_o worse_o than_o a_o plaintiff_n or_o defendant_n whisper_v a_o judge_n

their_o supper_n to_o their_o breakfast_n as_o they_o do_v the_o trial_n last_v till_o early_a next_o morning_n but_o because_o all_o irregularity_n of_o court_n and_o council_n in_o all_o these_o

be_v for_o the_o king_n and_o no_o person_n must_v come_v near_o the_o prisoner_n to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o king_n as_o in_o fitz-harris_n his_o case_n be_v often_o say_v a_o witness_n be_v

that_o it_o be_v design_v to_o incense_v the_o jury_n and_o though_o the_o chief_a justice_n declare_v it_o be_v not_o evidence_n yet_o he_o a_o great_a while_n afterward_o go_v on_o in_o a_o like_a manner_n nay_o the_o council_n in_o sum_v up_o the_o evidence_n repeat_v the_o same_o matter_n which_o be_v permit_v because_o it_o be_v for_o the_o king_n and_o yet_o when_o the_o earl_n of_o anglesey_n begin_v to_o say_v what_o the_o lady_n chaworth_n tell_v he_o he_o be_v snube_v and_o cut_v short_a and_o mr._n edward_n howard_n be_v serve_v the_o same_o sauce_n because_o it_o be_v

to_o private_a person_n the_o king_n be_v hurt_v when_o his_o subject_n be_v oppress_v by_o force_n because_o he_o have_v engage_v to_o defend_v they_o and_o therefore_o the_o offender_n be_v punish_v

by_o open_a force_n so_o he_o may_v be_v oppress_v by_o private_a insinuation_n and_o false_a accusation_n and_o the_o king_n have_v engage_v to_o defend_v his_o subject_n from_o such_o not_o that_o

the_o high_a arbitrary_a punishment_n we_o read_v of_o the_o consequence_n be_v that_o it_o be_v for_o the_o king_n to_o punish_v offender_n to_o acquit_v the_o false_a accuse_v and_o to_o punish_v the_o false_a accuser_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o all_o case_n to_o do_v right_a according_a to_o law_n and_o truth_n sure_o queen_n elizabeth_n give_v the_o best_a explanation_n of_o the_o word_n
