which_o i_o desire_v to_o clear_v and_o to_o resolve_v your_o lordship_n off_o one_o be_v that_o his_o majesty_n have_v be_v inform_v that_o i_o have_v often_o have_v plot_n with_o france_n and_o his_o majesty_n have_v good_a reason_n to_o induce_v he_o thereunto_o one_o reason_n that_o his_o majesty_n have_v to_o conjecture_v so_o be_v that_o when_o i_o come_v back_o from_o guyana_n be_v come_v to_o plymouth_n i_o endeavour_v to_o go_v in_o a_o bark_n to_o rochel_n which_o be_v for_o that_o i_o will_v have_v make_v my_o peace_n before_o i_o have_v come_v to_o england_n another_o

have_v reason_n to_o suspect_v be_v the_o french_a agent_n come_v to_o i_o beside_o it_o be_v report_v that_o i_o have_v a_o commission_n from_o the_o frech_n king_n at_o my_o go_v forth_o these_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o his_o majesty_n have_v as_o i_o be_o inform_v to_o suspect_v i_o but_o this_o i_o say_v for_o a_o man_n to_o call_v god_n to_o witness_v to_o a_o falsehood_n at_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n be_v far_o more_o grievous_a and_o impious_a and_o that_o a_o man_n that_o so_o do_v can_v have_v salvation_n for_o he_o have_v no_o time_n of_o repentance_n then_o what_o shall_v i_o expect_v that_o be_o go_v instant_o to_o render_v up_o my_o account_n i_o do_v therefore_o call_v god_n to_o witness_v as_o i_o hope_v to_o be_v save_v and_o as_o i_o hope_v to_o see_v he_o in_o his_o kingdom_n which_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v within_o this_o quarter_n of_o this_o hour_n i_o never_o have_v any_o commission_n from_o the_o french_a king_n nor_o never_o see_v the_o french_a king_n hand_n write_v in_o all_o my_o life_n neither_o know_v i_o that_o there_o be_v a_o french_a agent_n nor_o what_o he_o be_v till_o i_o meet_v he_o in_o my_o gallery_n at_o my_o lodging_n unlooked_a for_o if_o i_o speak_v not_o true_a o_o lord_n let_v i_o never_o enter_v into_o thy_o kingdom_n the_o second_o suspicion_n be_v that_o his_o majesty_n have_v be_v inform_v that_o i_o shall_v speak_v dishonourable_o and_o disloyal_o of_o my_o sovereign_n but_o my_o accuser_n be_v a_o base_a french_a man_n a_o runagate_n fellow_n one_o that_o have_v no_o dwell_n a_o kind_n of_o a_o chemical_a fellow_n one_o that_o i_o know_v to_o be_v persideous_a for_o be_v by_o he_o draw_v into_o the_o action_n of_o fear_v myself_o at_o winchester_n in_o which_o i_o confess_v my_o hand_n be_v touch_v he_o be_v swear_v to_o secrecy_n over_o night_n reveal_v it_o the_o next_o morning_n but_o this_o i_o speak_v now_o what_o have_v i_o to_o do_v with_o king_n i_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o they_o neither_o do_v i_o fear_v they_o i_o have_v only_o now_o to_o do_v with_o my_o god_n in_o who_o presence_n i_o stand_v therefore_o to_o tell_v a_o lie_n be_v it_o to_o gain_v the_o king_n favour_n be_v vain_a therefore_o as_o i_o hope_v to_o be_v save_v at_o the_o last_o judgement_n day_n i_o never_o speak_v dishonourable_o disloyal_o or_o dishonest_o of_o his_o majesty_n in_o all_o my_o life_n and_o therefore_o i_o can_v but_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o that_o frenchman_n be_v so_o base_a and_o mean_a a_o fellow_n shall_v be_v so_o far_o credit_v as_o he_o have_v be_v i_o have_v deal_v true_o as_o i_o hope_v to_o be_v save_v and_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v be_v believe_v i_o confess_v i_o do_v attempt_v to_o escape_v i_o can_v excuse_v it_o but_o it_o be_v only_o to_o
