parliament_n shall_v to_o prevent_v the_o like_a oppression_n and_o wrong_n to_o poor_a man_n provide_v a_o easy_a and_o plain_a way_n to_o relieve_v the_o oppress_a and_o to_o set_v down_o a_o usual_a form_n of_o indictment_n or_o to_o cause_n that_o the_o indictment_n shall_v not_o be_v so_o easy_o and_o so_o frequent_o upon_o every_o lawyer_n motion_n quash_v as_o they_o be_v report_v

reason_n 1._o because_o the_o difficulty_n of_o frame_v the_o indictment_n so_o that_o a_o cunning_a lawyer_n can_v easy_o find_v a_o fault_n and_o a_o flaw_n in_o it_o and_o then_o the_o frequent_a quash_a of_o such_o indictment_n as_o be_v find_v faulty_a be_v a_o great_a wrong_n to_o his_o majesty_n in_o deprive_v he_o of_o those_o fine_n that_o otherwise_o be_v due_a and_o shall_v be_v render_v unto_o he_o 2._o it_o be_v a_o great_a abuse_n and_o injury_n unto_o the_o poor_a subject_n that_o shall_v be_v drive_v out_o of_o his_o possession_n and_o for_o want_v of_o a_o sufficient_a clerk_n or_o counsellor_n to_o draw_v the_o right_a form_n of_o his_o indictment_n which_o as_o i_o see_v few_o can_v do_v he_o shall_v both_o spend_v his_o money_n and_o lose_v his_o labour_n and_o perhaps_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v as_o i_o do_v three_o or_o four_o time_n to_o draw_v indictment_n till_o he_o find_v one_o that_o may_v stand_v good_a 3._o this_o frequent_a quash_a of_o indictment_n be_v a_o great_a encouragement_n for_o oppressor_n and_o wicked_a man_n to_o wrong_v their_o neighbour_n more_o and_o more_o for_o say_v they_o i_o will_v enter_v upon_o he_o and_o thrust_v he_o out_o and_o if_o he_o do_v indite_v i_o i_o will_v remove_v it_o to_o the_o king_n bench_n and_o i_o shall_v find_v a_o lawyer_n that_o will_v quash_n his_o indictment_n by_o and_o by_o 4._o this_o very_a practice_n and_o proceed_n may_v be_v fear_v to_o prove_v the_o very_a bane_n and_o destruction_n of_o whole_a nation_n and_o kingdom_n for_o if_o righteousness_n exalt_v a_o

then_o you_o may_v see_v how_o requisite_a it_o be_v for_o king_n and_o prince_n to_o look_v to_o those_o thing_n and_o not_o to_o suffer_v unrighteous_a judge_n either_o for_o favour_n to_o one_o or_o hatred_n to_o another_o to_o do_v what_o they_o listen_v and_o to_o make_v their_o law_n like_o a_o nose_n of_o wax_n to_o bend_v which_o way_n they_o please_v or_o like_o a_o spider_n web_n

yet_o he_o say_v though_o i_o deserve_v it_o not_o i_o shall_v have_v justice_n and_o so_o he_o do_v i_o justice_n present_o and_o i_o love_v to_o do_v right_a to_o my_o adversary_n and_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n of_o my_o enemy_n but_o for_o myself_o i_o thank_v god_n for_o it_o as_o i_o live_v many_o year_n very_o quiet_o and_o content_o with_o far_o less_o mean_n than_o 20_o li._n a_o year_n and_o with_o far_o less_o pain_n and_o trouble_n than_o i_o have_v now_o so_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o i_o can_v live_v so_o still_o and_o i_o resolve_v and_o vow_v as_o i_o have_v attest_v in_o my_o

by_o this_o proceed_v whosoever_o do_v it_o be_v as_o i_o conceive_v more_o against_o the_o king_n and_o the_o church_n than_o against_o myself_o and_o if_o the_o proviso_n for_o sir_n george_n
