those_o babble_n be_v of_o no_o validity_n i_o have_v read_v the_o allegation_n of_o divers_a worthy_a author_n against_o such_o false_a rumour_n and_o opinion_n of_o the_o common_a people_n who_o delight_n in_o nothing_o more_o then_o to_o hear_v strange_a thing_n and_o to_o see_v new_a alteration_n of_o authority_n rejoice_v sometime_o in_o such_o novelty_n which_o afterwards_o do_v produce_v

the_o truth_n be_v perfect_o know_v by_o the_o report_n of_o some_o approve_a and_o credible_a person_n that_o common_o have_v the_o best_a intelligence_n i_o have_v hear_v and_o also_o see_v set_v

some_o part_n from_o credible_a person_n information_n this_o cardinal_n be_v my_o lord_n and_o master_n who_o in_o his_o life-time_n i_o serve_v and_o so_o remain_v with_o he_o in_o his_o fall_n continual_o during_o the_o time_n of_o all_o his_o trouble_n both_o in_o the_o south_n and_o north_n part_n until_o he_o die_v in_o all_o which_o time_n i_o punctual_o observe_v all_o his_o demeanour_n as_o also_o in_o his_o great_a triumph_n and_o glorious_a estate_n and_o since_o his_o departure_n i_o have_v hear_v divers_a surmise_v and_o imagine_a tale_n concerning_o his_o proceed_n and_o deal_n which_o i_o myself_o have_v certain_o know_v to_o be_v most_o untrue_a unto_o which_o i_o can_v have_v sufficient_o answer_v according_a to_o truth_n but_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v much_o better_a to_o be_v silent_a then_o to_o reply_v against_o their_o untruth_n whereby_o i_o may_v perhaps_o have_v rather_o kindle_v a_o great_a flame_n of_o displeasure_n then_o have_v quench_v one_o spark_n of_o their_o untrue_a report_n therefore_o i_o do_v refer_v the_o truth_n thereof_o to_o the_o almighty_a who_o know_v the_o truth_n of_o all_o thing_n nevertheless_o whatsoever_o any_o man_n have_v conceive_v of_o he_o in_o his_o life_n or_o since_o his_o death_n thus_o much_o i_o dare_v say_v without_o offence_n to_o any_o that_o in_o my_o judgement_n i_o never_o see_v this_o realm_n in_o better_a obedience_n and_o quiet_a than_o it_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o authority_n nor_o justice_n better_o administer_v without_o partiality_n as_o i_o can_v just_o prove_v if_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v tax_v with_o too_o much_o affection_n i_o will_v therefore_o here_o desist_v to_o speak_v any_o further_a by_o the_o way_n of_o apology_n and_o proceed_v now_o to_o speak_v
