of_o m._n i_o will_v not_o say_v while_o the_o king_n reign_v though_o some_o extravagant_a hotheaded_a man_n have_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o discourse_v these_o thing_n but_o not_o any_o worthy_a man_n i_o know_v those_o that_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v call_v by_o that_o name_n have_v declare_v in_o my_o hear_n that_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o d._n of_o y._n if_o the_o king_n be_v seize_v they_o will_v stand_v by_o the_o d._n of_o m._n there_o be_v other_o i_o will_v not_o give_v nickname_n to_o any_o you_o be_v wise_a man_n and_o know_v what_o i_o mean_v by_o speak_v in_o the_o

since_o it_o come_v to_o my_o lot_n to_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o some_o be_v for_o the_o d._n of_o m._n some_o for_o a_o commonwealth_n and_o some_o but_o very_o few_o not_o worth_a name_n be_v for_o the_o d._n of_o buck_n but_o that_o i_o think_v fell_a at_o last_o between_o these_o two_o be_v the_o great_a part_n as_o far_o as_o i_o do_v apprehend_v by_o discourse_v here_o and_o there_o in_o the_o city_n which_o i_o do_v very_o frequent_o do_v but_o the_o way_n of_o these_o gentleman_n discourse_v these_o thing_n be_v only_o one_o at_o a_o time_n especial_o a_o very_a

endeavour_v what_o possible_o i_o can_v to_o come_v to_o the_o bottom_n of_o that_o design_n for_o my_o intent_n be_v to_o make_v a_o faithful_a and_o true_a discovery_n that_o i_o may_v not_o go_v to_o whitehall_n or_o a_o justice_n of_o peace_n with_o a_o idle_a story_n or_o a_o shame_n but_o at_o last_o i_o get_v out_o of_o he_o that_o rich._n goodenough_n be_v chief_o instrumental_a this_o
