and_o that_o he_o take_v such_o story_n from_o i_o but_o as_o startinghole_n from_o the_o only_a point_n he_o have_v to_o urge_v against_o i_o that_o unless_o i_o will_v confess_v other_o matter_n against_o the_o duke_n of_o monmouth_n he_o will_v rack_v i_o next_o day_n and_o afterward_o hang_v i_o i_o say_v he_o may_v do_v what_o he_o please_v but_o that_o i_o neither_o know_v or_o can_v

by_o this_o storm_n i_o desire_v my_o keeper_n wife_n and_o child_n here_o present_a to_o pray_v for_o i_o for_o that_o i_o be_v to_o be_v rack_v the_o next_o day_n i_o ask_v my_o keeper_n what_o a_o

i_o do_v not_o now_o remember_v myself_o with_o such_o other_o question_n out_o of_o which_o i_o can_v not_o yet_o know_v certain_o the_o cause_n of_o my_o commitment_n for_o no_o body_n appear_v

that_o that_o be_v a_o bad_a inference_n that_o because_o i_o threaten_v some_o body_n it_o must_v be_v therefore_o the_o duke_n of_o monmouth_n who_o have_v never_o any_o ground_n so_o to_o do_v
