this_o i_o think_v no_o body_n dare_v be_v ever_o so_o impudent_a to_o move_v i_o in_o it_o for_o if_o they_o have_v i_o shall_v have_v put_v a_o mark_n upon_o they_o and_o make_v they_o such_o a_o

that_o you_o may_v find_v a_o way_n for_o to_o satisfy_v justice_n and_o your_o own_o fear_n and_o not_o to_o press_v upon_o my_o conscience_n my_o lord_n i_o hope_v you_o know_v what_o a_o tender_a

tender_a point_n and_o therefore_o i_o can_v expect_v that_o you_o will_v go_v about_o it_o nay_o i_o must_v confess_v for_o matter_n of_o misdemeanour_n i_o be_o so_o clear_a in_o that_o that_o though_o i_o will_v not_o chaulk_v out_o the_o way_n yet_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o that_o i_o do_v think_v my_o lord_n of_o strafford_n be_v not_o fit_a hereafter_o to_o serve_v i_o or_o the_o

short_a answer_n to_o every_o one_o of_o they_o 1._o for_o religion_n my_o lord_n we_o say_v and_o we_o shall_v prove_v that_o he_o have_v be_v diligent_a indeed_o to_o favour_v innovation_n to_o

of_o hurt_n 2._o for_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o king_n my_o lord_n we_o say_v it_o be_v the_o honour_n of_o the_o king_n that_o he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o his_o people_n that_o he_o be_v the_o

increase_n of_o his_o revenue_n it_o be_v true_a there_o may_v be_v some_o addition_n of_o sum_n but_o we_o say_v there_o be_v no_o addition_n of_o strength_n nor_o wealth_n because_o in_o those_o part_n where_o it_o have_v be_v increase_v this_o earl_n have_v take_v the_o great_a share_v himself_o and_o when_o he_o have_v spoil_v and_o ravine_a on_o the_o people_n he_o have_v be_v content_a to_o yield_v up_o some_o part_n to_o the_o king_n that_o he_o may_v with_o more_o security_n enjoy_v the_o rest_n 4._o for_o the_o strength_n and_o honour_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o kingdom_n my_o lord_n in_o a_o time_n of_o peace_n he_o have_v let_v in_o upon_o we_o the_o calamity_n of_o war_n weakness_n shame_n and_o confusion_n 5._o and_o for_o the_o quiet_a of_o the_o subject_n he_o have_v

head_n of_o his_o apology_n 3._o the_o three_o be_v

as_o i_o take_v it_o it_o be_v in_o the_o year_n 1638._o be_v ask_v again_o how_o long_o it_o be_v keep_v he_o answer_v it_o be_v pay_v late_o within_o these_o three_o month_n whence_o observe_v it_o

whether_o when_o i_o come_v into_o that_o kingdom_n the_o constant_a revenue_n fall_v not_o short_a of_o the_o constant_a charge_n at_o least_o 20000_o l._n a_o year_n we_o except_v against_o

to_o what_o have_v be_v now_o say_v he_o may_v say_v it_o present_o else_o we_o shall_v be_v on_o great_a disadvantage_n my_o lord_n i_o conceive_v the_o proposition_n to_o be_v fair_a and_o it_o be_v

and_o say_v i_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o king_n be_v not_o to_o be_v master_v by_o the_o frowardness_n or_o disaffection_n of_o some_o particular_a man_n and_o conceive_v it_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o

that_o see_v the_o parliament_n have_v not_o supply_v the_o king_n his_o majesty_n may_v take_v other_o course_n for_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o kingdom_n true_o my_o lord_n under_o favour_n who_o

i_o therefore_o help_v myself_o under_o favour_n i_o conceive_v there_o be_v no_o great_a weight_n nor_o crime_n in_o these_o word_n but_o in_o these_o likewise_o he_o stand_v a_o single_a testimony_n there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o join_v with_o he_o in_o it_o and_o there_o be_v this_o in_o the_o whole_a cause_n concern_v the_o word_n that_o i_o think_v there_o be_v not_o any_o one_o thing_n wherein_o two_o concur_v the_o next_o testimony_n be_v that_o of_o the_o earl_n of_o holland_n and_o he_o say_v that_o at_o the_o council-board_n i_o say_v the_o parliament_n have_v deny_v the_o

of_o the_o king_n can_v only_o walk_v in_o and_o in_o no_o other_o can_v he_o walk_v and_o therefore_o i_o conceive_v they_o be_v far_o from_o bring_v it_o to_o so_o high_a a_o guilt_n as_o treason_n and_o this_o likewise_o his_o lordship_n express_v as_o the_o rest_n do_v single_o on_o his_o own_o word_n as_o he_o conceive_v they_o and_o not_o on_o the_o particular_a word_n of_o any_o other_o
