the_o king_n by_o his_o great_a seal_n or_o little_a seal_n command_v that_o justice_n shall_v be_v delay_v or_o deny_v yet_o however_o the_o judge_n shall_v not_o obey_v it_o but_o proceed_v so_o i_o

require_v three_o witness_n to_o prove_v a_o will_n of_o good_n or_o land_n above_o 100_o l._n and_o will_v you_o allow_v but_o one_o witness_n to_o take_v away_o a_o man_n life_n for_o word_n though_o your_o lordship_n will_v never_o commit_v treason_n yet_o no_o man_n can_v preserve_v himself_o from_o the_o misfortune_n that_o happen_v to_o i_o of_o be_v false_o accuse_v it_o be_v true_a my_o lord_n the_o manager_n have_v give_v a_o answer_n to_o the_o business_n of_o the_o money_n by_o say_v the_o king_n may_v give_v as_o liberal_o as_o he_o please_v but_o to_o give_v so_o great_a

though_o i_o think_v much_o more_o may_v be_v say_v by_o a_o able_a man_n to_o your_o lordship_n for_o the_o clear_n of_o himself_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v do_v it_o nay_o i_o be_o confident_a i_o

and_o a_o wise_a man_n as_o i_o may_v appeal_v to_o some_o of_o your_o lordship_n who_o know_v he_o well_o i_o say_v i_o owe_v it_o to_o their_o memory_n and_o to_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o family_n from_o whence_o i_o spring_v which_o all_o the_o world_n know_v what_o it_o be_v and_o i_o shall_v be_v a_o infamous_a man_n to_o dishonour_v they_o so_o much_o as_o to_o bear_v their_o name_n and_o
