the_o king_n be_v always_o and_o aught_o to_o be_v excuse_v and_o the_o adviser_n answerable_a for_o it_o but_o what_o be_v do_v by_o illegal_a council_n be_v impute_v to_o the_o king_n himself_o

for_o those_o danger_n we_o have_v reason_n to_o fear_n both_o at_o home_n and_o abroad_o and_o then_o declare_v his_o hope_n that_o those_o evil_n may_v be_v prevent_v by_o a_o course_n of_o wise_a

his_o own_o so_o that_o none_o can_v be_v charge_v with_o what_o be_v do_v but_o the_o king_n himself_o which_o be_v no_o less_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n than_o contrary_a to_o
