in_o my_o mouth_n but_o cromwell_n my_o very_a good_a lord_n and_o master_n a_o man_n of_o a_o most_o pierce_a apprehension_n find_v that_o my_o mouth_n be_v not_o only_o able_a to_o melt_v the_o butter_n but_o that_o my_o throat_n also_o be_v wide_a enough_o to_o swallow_v the_o gudgeon_n and_o perceive_v i_o to_o have_v a_o ostrich_n conscience_n he_o take_v i_o into_o his_o arm_n and_o say_v friend_n tichborn_n i_o find_v thou_o as_o fit_v for_o my_o turn_v as_o if_o i_o have_v make_v thou_o myself_o and_o therefore_o do_v but_o help_v i_o to_o carry_v on_o this_o great_a work_n of_o i_o and_o i_o will_v reward_v thou_o not_o that_o like_o a_o saint_n thou_o shall_v trust_v i_o till_o the_o world_n to_o come_v but_o i_o will_v reward_v thou_o in_o this_o world_n yea_o even_o in_o this_o world_n wherein_o thou_o now_o live_v do_v thou_o want_v honour_n i_o will_v make_v thou_o lord_n mayor_n of_o london_n do_v thou_o want_v money_n thou_o shall_v be_v my_o danae_n and_o i_o will_v shower_n gold_n into_o thy_o lap._n say_v you_o so_o think_v i_o money_n will_v make_v a_o mayor_n to_o go_v true_o it_o make_v i_o to_o go_v about_o many_o design_n which_o few_o man_n but_o he_o thank_v i_o for_o and_o i_o will_v say_v thus_o much_o for_o myself_o and_o a_o fig_n for_o myself_o that_o if_o faithfulness_n and_o reality_n be_v virtuous_a i_o be_v virtuous_a for_o i_o be_v always_o faithful_a and_o real_a to_o he_o i_o serve_v true_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n for_o a_o man_n to_o act_v his_o part_n well_o upon_o the_o stage_n of_o this_o world_n we_o think_v we_o have_v do_v our_o part_n as_o well_o as_o other_o but_o the_o alter_n of_o one_o scene_n how_o it_o have_v change_v our_o condition_n and_o now_o what_o do_v not_o man_n say_v of_o we_o they_o say_v that_o we_o have_v carry_v on_o all_o the_o barbarous_a design_n of_o the_o anabaptist_n in_o the_o city_n that_o we_o betray_v the_o counsel_n and_o be_v two_o spy_n upon_o all_o the_o action_n of_o our_o fellow_n gownsman_n within_o the_o wall_n true_o a_o great_a piece_n of_o business_n and_o we_o live_v in_o a_o fine_a age_n indeed_o when_o man_n shall_v be_v blame_v for_o be_v diligent_a in_o their_o call_v i_o remember_v that_o when_o i_o be_v a_o young_a man_n my_o master_n will_v say_v keep_v close_o to_o your_o trade_n and_o your_o trade_n will_v maintain_v you_o now_o we_o believe_v that_o that_o way_n whereby_o a_o man_n get_v his_o livelihood_n he_o be_v bind_v to_o follow_v and_o it_o be_v his_o trade_n and_o occupation_n true_o we_o have_v a_o very_a good_a trade_n so_o that_o when_o all_o the_o city_n complain_v for_o want_v of_o trading_n we_o feel_v no_o such_o oppression_n the_o spanish_a war_n do_v we_o no_o harm_n and_o i_o think_v we_o shall_v have_v be_v fool_n indeed_o to_o have_v shut_v up_o our_o shop_n at_o such_o a_o time_n nor_o be_v we_o to_o be_v blame_v for_o serve_v our_o paymaster_n so_o faithful_o for_o what_o be_v there_o in_o the_o world_n so_o base_a as_o treachery_n especial_o treachery_n to_o a_o man_n friend_n it_o be_v true_a we_o grant_v that_o a_o man_n may_v betray_v his_o country_n or_o a_o whole_a city_n or_o the_o most_o ingenious_a and_o faithful_a party_n of_o a_o nation_n for_o there_o be_v a_o multitude_n and_o a_o man_n have_v no_o obligation_n to_o one_o in_o ten_o thousand_o but_o to_o betray_v a_o man_n friend_n and_o the_o best_a friend_n he_o have_v in_o the_o world_n that_o be_v your_o treachery_n judas_n be_v not_o curse_v for_o betray_v his_o country_n but_o for_o betray_v his_o single_a master_n who_o have_v so_o many_o way_n oblige_v he_o and_o at_o length_n make_v he_o his_o treasurer_n never_o call_v he_o to_o any_o account_n then_o people_n say_v we_o endeavour_v all_o we_o can_v to_o break_v the_o city_n charter_n though_o we_o be_v member_n thereof_o and_o extreme_o angry_a they_o be_v because_o my_o brother_n ireton_n will_v have_v be_v twice_o mayor_n law_n you_o now_o what_o a_o coil_n here_o be_v true_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a thing_n to_o we_o that_o people_n shall_v keep_v such_o a_o stir_n with_o a_o charter_n why_o suppose_v you_o have_v never_o a_o charter_n think_v you_o the_o city_n will_v perish_v i_o wonder_v what_o charter_n that_o city_n have_v which_o cain_n build_v in_o the_o land_n of_o nod._n and_o yet_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v one_o man_n may_v have_v be_v mayor_n there_o forty_o time_n and_o no_o body_n have_v say_v any_o thing_n to_o he_o in_o former_a time_n mayor_n be_v mayor_n as_o long_o as_o they_o live_v and_o be_v call_v king_n witness_n bera_n mayor_n of_o sodom_n and_o birshu_n mayor_n of_o gomorrah_n and_o chedorlaom_a mayor_n of_o elam_n true_o if_o i_o or_o my_o brother_n ireton_n be_v such_o a_o mayor_n of_o london_n as_o he_o be_v of_o elam_n we_o shall_v be_v as_o good_a mayor_n as_o he_o for_o all_o his_o hard_a name_n other_o blame_v we_o for_o unhorse_v the_o cavalier_n but_o they_o talk_v like_o fool_n for_o we_o have_v make_v they_o beggar_n and_o it_o be_v conttary_a to_o the_o proverb_n to_o set_v beggar_n a_o horseback_n give_v they_o horse_n and_o they_o will_v ride_v upon_o our_o shoulder_n a_o great_a many_o people_n say_v we_o have_v no_o charity_n true_o we_o find_v it_o to_o be_v a_o very_a cold_a virtue_n therefore_o we_o dare_v not_o let_v it_o come_v too_o near_o our_o heart_n by_o reason_n of_o its_o benumb_a and_o venomous_a quality_n as_o many_o there_o be_v that_o say_v we_o have_v as_o little_a honesty_n but_o as_o for_o that_o we_o shall_v only_o give_v this_o short_a answer_n that_o if_o we_o have_v cozen_v the_o state_n we_o have_v do_v no_o more_o than_o a_o great_a many_o of_o our_o companion_n and_o what_o we_o can_v justify_v from_o the_o continual_a practice_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o true_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_n that_o my_o brother_n ireton_n shall_v have_v a_o ishmaels_n portion_n be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o bom●woman_n thus_o i_o hope_v we_o have_v full_o satisfy_v the_o world_n if_o the_o world_n be_v not_o as_o unreasonable_a as_o ourselves_o for_o i_o confess_v i_o think_v it_o be_v not_o a_o small_a matter_n that_o satisfy_v we_o it_o be_v true_a perhaps_o we_o may_v be_v a_o little_a puzzle_v what_o to_o say_v at_o the_o last_o day_n but_o be_v of_o good_a comfort_n brother_n ireton_n for_o if_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o saint_n to_o err_v than_o it_o will_v go_v well_o enough_o of_o our_o side_n now_o i_o be_o as_o confident_a as_o i_o stand_v here_o we_o be_v two_o saint_n for_o i_o have_v prove_v it_o in_o my_o most_o odoriferous_a treatise_n of_o muskadine_n which_o give_v you_o such_o essential_a mark_n of_o a_o saint_n that_o it_o may_v indeed_o be_v call_v the_o saint_n butterprint_n you_o may_v there_o see_v a_o saint_n cut_v as_o exact_o as_o a_o french_a gown_n now_o do_v any_o body_n think_v that_o my_o soul_n can_v breathe_v forth_o such_o experience_n and_o holy_a truth_n and_o i_o be_v a_o knave_n now_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o this_o be_v enough_o to_o satisfy_v any_o reasonable_a man_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o till_o i_o shall_v come_v to_o preach_v to_o the_o multitude_n upon_o a_o ladder_n and_o then_o you_o shall_v hear_v as_o much_o again_o if_o it_o be_v but_o only_o to_o delay_v time_n finis_fw-la
