since_o among_o some_o of_o you_o so_o to_o do_v that_o i_o do_v protest_v unto_o you_o both_o for_o you_o and_o they_o i_o will_v not_o believe_v one_o word_n you_o say_v swear_v or_o protest_v but_o the_o more_o earnest_a you_o or_o they_o be_v in_o any_o of_o they_o the_o more_o jealous_a i_o will_v be_v of_o you_o and_o therefore_o know_v this_o for_o hereafter_o that_o where_o ever_o i_o

my_o life_n if_o i_o be_v to_o lay_v it_o down_o to_o morrow_n i_o will_v scorn_v to_o beg_v or_o entreat_v for_o it_o from_o any_o of_o your_o master_n and_o if_o it_o be_v in_o no_o danger_n it_o be_v no_o thanks_o to_o they_o for_o i_o be_o confident_o persuade_v in_o my_o very_a heart_n it_o be_v not_o my_o a_o hour_n long_o than_o they_o dare_v take_v it_o away_o either_o by_o hook_n or_o

then_o where_o be_v you_o i_o but_o sir_n say_v i_o i_o can_v take_v notice_n of_o what_o be_v in_o their_o mind_n to_o obey_v that_o but_o the_o constant_a declaration_n of_o their_o mind_n without_o ever_o so_o much_o as_o in_o any_o one_o declaration_n contradict_v it_o as_o that_o they_o will_v maintain_v the_o petition_n of_o right_n and_o the_o liberty_n therein_o contain_v must_v be_v the_o rule_n of_o my_o obedience_n and_o the_o petition_n of_o right_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o constant_a declaration_n to_o preserve_v it_o i_o make_v the_o rule_n of_o my_o obedience_n and_o act_n among_o man_n and_o think_v i_o shall_v be_v safe_a thereby_o but_o when_o they_o shall_v public_o declare_v they_o scorn_v the_o petition_n of_o right_n and_o will_v neither_o maintain_v that_o nor_o any_o other_o law_n or_o compact_n among_o the_o man_n of_o this_o nation_n but_o what_o flow_v daily_o from_o their_o will_n and_o pleasure_n i_o shall_v alter_v my_o mind_n and_o expect_v no_o
