i_o be_v altogether_o unworthy_a of_o of_o wait_v upon_o the_o king_n i_o give_v you_o my_o reason_n why_o i_o think_v myself_o unfit_a for_o that_o honour_n because_o i_o be_v not_o in_o any_o capacity_n of_o do_v the_o king_n any_o service_n and_o i_o look_v upon_o the_o king_n as_o a_o person_n too_o sacred_a and_o who_o time_n be_v too_o precious_a to_o be_v trifle_v away_o upon_o one_o that_o have_v nothing_o to_o offer_v to_o he_o and_o therefore_o i_o refuse_v it_o but_o notwithstanding_o this_o be_v reinforce_v by_o you_o and_o when_o i_o still_o persist_v in_o the_o denial_n of_o that_o which_o be_v a_o honour_n i_o ought_v rather_o to_o have_v seek_v but_o only_o because_o i_o think_v myself_o uncapable_a of_o deserve_v it_o after_o several_a application_n i_o do_v at_o last_o tell_v you_o beside_o the_o impertinency_n of_o it_o i_o do_v also_o apprehend_v it_o may_v be_v the_o occasion_n of_o some_o indecency_n for_o perhaps_o i_o may_v thereby_o put_v myself_o upon_o declare_v myself_o in_o some_o of_o my_o sentiment_n very_o much_o differ_v from_o those_o of_o his_o majesty_n and_o for_o i_o to_o seek_v a_o opportunity_n to_o express_v my_o contrariety_n to_o his_o majesty_n thought_n will_v be_v both_o rudeness_n and_o imprudence_n and_o therefore_o i_o do_v then_o ultimate_o answer_v you_o i_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v prevail_v with_o then_o you_o do_v low_a it_o and_o say_v it_o shall_v suffice_v if_o i_o will_v wait_v upon_o the_o duchess_n of_o portsmouth_n true_o i_o tell_v you_o as_o to_o that_o too_o you_o do_v i_o a_o great_a

you_o do_v resolve_v it_o into_o this_o that_o you_o do_v find_v the_o king_n under_o great_a apprehension_n that_o there_o be_v something_o deep_a in_o the_o heart_n of_o some_o that_o stand_v at_o a_o distance_n from_o his_o majesty_n and_o opposite_a to_o his_o interest_n and_o that_o the_o parliament_n stand_v at_o a_o irreconcilable_a difference_n with_o the_o king_n true_o say_v i_o i_o be_o a_o p●rson_n not_o ●it_a to_o speak_v in_o the_o name_n of_o a_o parliament_n for_o in_o a_o little_a time_n they_o will_v speak_v for_o themselves_o but_o if_o i_o be_v to_o speak_v or_o shall_v presume_v to_o speak_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o parliament_n or_o the_o whole_a nation_n i_o shall_v say_v i_o believe_v the_o king_n will_v find_v his_o parliament_n meet_v he_o with_o as_o great_a affection_n duty_n and_o loyalty_n as_o any_o parliament_n ever_o meet_v any_o king_n of_o england_n you_o say_v then_o you_o be_v confident_a and_o you_o cite_v her_o grace_n the_o duchess_n of_o p●rtsmouth_n for_o it_o that_o the_o king_n come_v to_o meet_v they_o with_o inclination_n to_o gratify_v they_o in_o any_o thing_n they_o can_v desire_v then_o say_v i_o to_o what_o end_n need_v i_o come_v there_o for_o the_o parliament_n will_v speak_v its_o own_o sense_n speedy_o pray_v do_v i_o that_o kindness_n as_o to_o go_v and_o satisfy_v the_o duchess_n of_o portsmouth_n and_o to_o
