earl_n of_o essex_n early_o do_v i_o hope_v this_o morning_n to_o have_v have_v my_o eye_n bless_v with_o your_o majesty_n beauty_n but_o see_v the_o same_o depart_n into_o a_o cloud_n &_o meeting_n with_o spi●●tes_n that_o do_v presage_v by_o the_o wheel_n of_o their_o chariot_n some_o thunder_n in_o the_o air_n i_o must_v complain_v and_o express_v my_o fear_n to_o that_o high_a majesty_n and_o divine_a oracle_n from_o whence_o i_o receive_v a_o doubtful_a answer_n unto_o who_o power_n i_o must_v sacrifice_v again_o though_o tear_n and_o prayer_n of_o the_o afflict_a that_o must_v despair_v in_o time_n if_o it_o be_v too_o soon_o to_o importune_v heaven_n when_o we_o feel_v the_o misery_n of_o hell_n or_o that_o word_n direct_v to_o that_o sacred_a wisdom_n shall_v out_o of_o season_n be_v deliver_v for_o my_o unfortunate_a brother_n who_o all_o man_n have_v liberty_n to_o defame_v as_o if_o his_o offence_n be_v capital_a and_o he_o so_o base_a deject_a a_o creature_n that_o his_o love_n his_o life_n his_o service_n to_o your_o beauty_n and_o the_o state_n have_v deserve_v no_o absolution_n after_o so_o hard_a punishment_n or_o so_o much_o as_o to_o answer_v in_o your_o fair_a presence_n who_o will_v vouchsafe_v more_o justice_n and_o favour_n than_o he_o can_v expect_v of_o partial_a judge_n for_o those_o combine_a enemy_n which_o lie_v open_a false_a ground_n to_o build_v his_o ruin_n urge_v his_o fault_n as_o criminal_a to_o your_o divine_a honour_n think_v it_o heaven_n to_o blaspheme_v heaven_n when_o their_o own_o particular_a malice_n and_o counsel_n have_v practise_v only_o to_o glut_v themselves_o in_o their_o private_a revenge_n not_o regard_v your_o service_n or_o loss_n so_o much_o as_o their_o ambitious_a end_n to_o rise_v by_o his_o overthrow_n and_o i_o have_v reason_n to_o apprehend_v that_o if_o your_o fair_a hand_n do_v not_o check_v the_o course_n of_o their_o unbridled_a hate_n that_o the_o last_o course_n will_v be_v his_o last_o breath_n since_o their_o cuill_a instrument_n that_o by_o their_o office_n and_o cunning_a provide_v for_o the_o feast_n have_v sufficient_a poison_n in_o their_o heart_n to_o insert_v to_o the_o service_n which_o they_o will_v serve_v shall_v be_v death_n to_o digest_v till_o it_o be_v taste_v and_o then_o it_o will_v prove_v but_o preparation_n for_o great_a mischief_n conceal_v among_o such_o crafty_a workman_n as_o will_v not_o only_o pull_v down_o all_o the_o obstacle_n of_o their_o greatness_n but_o when_o they_o be_v in_o their_o full_a strength_n like_o the_o giant_n make_v war_n against_o heaven_n but_o your_o majesty_n gracious_a conclusion_n in_o give_v hope_n of_o the_o void_a be_v all_o the_o comfort_n i_o have_v which_o if_o you_o hasten_v not_o before_o he_o take_v full_a surfeit_n of_o disgrace_n they_o will_v say_v the_o spot_v they_o have_v cast_v upon_o he_o be_v too_o foul_a to_o be_v wash_v away_o and_o so_o his_o blemish_a reputation_n must_v disable_v he_o for_o ever_o serve_v again_o his_o sacred_a goddess_n who_o excellent_a beauty_n and_o perfection_n will_v never_o suffer_v those_o fair_a eye_n to_o turn_v so_o far_o from_o compassion_n but_o at_o the_o least_o if_o he_o may_v not_o return_v to_o the_o happiness_n of_o his_o former_a service_n to_o live_v at_o the_o foot_n of_o his_o admire_a mistress_n yet_o he_o may_v sit_v down_o to_o a_o private_a life_n without_o the_o imputation_n of_o infamy_n that_o his_o posterity_n may_v not_o repent_v their_o father_n be_v born_o of_o so_o hard_a a_o destiny_n two_o of_o they_o porish_v by_o be_v employ_v in_o one_o country_n where_o they_o will_v have_v do_v you_o loyal_a service_n to_o the_o shed_n of_o their_o last_o blood_n if_o they_o have_v not_o be_v wound_v to_o the_o death_n by_o their_o faction_n which_o care_v not_o on_o who_o neck_n they_o unjust_o build_v the_o wall_n of_o their_o own_o fortune_n which_o i_o fear_v will_v grow_v more_o dangerous_o high_a then_o be_v yet_o discover_v if_o god_n do_v not_o hinder_v the_o work_n as_o the_o tower_n of_o babel_n and_o confound_v their_o tongue_n that_o understand_v one_o another_o too_o well_o and_o last_o since_o out_o of_o your_o majesty_n own_o princely_a nature_n and_o unstained_a virtue_n there_o must_v needs_o appear_v that_o mercy_n be_v not_o far_o off_o from_o such_o beauty_n i_o most_o humble_o beseech_v you_o to_o make_v it_o your_o own_o work_n and_o not_o to_o suffer_v they_o to_o take_v advantage_n that_o lie_v in_o ambush_n think_v so_o soon_o as_o they_o recover_v a_o relent_a compassion_n in_o your_o worthy_a mind_n to_o take_v the_o honour_n upon_o they_o as_o mean_n of_o our_o salvation_n not_o out_o of_o charity_n but_o pride_n but_o all_o must_v be_v attribute_v to_o they_o and_o your_o sacred_a clemency_n abuse_v by_o force_v we_o to_o go_v through_o purgatory_n to_o heaven_n but_o let_v your_o majesty_n divine_a power_n be_v no_o more_o eclipse_v than_o your_o beauty_n which_o have_v shine_v throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o imitate_v the_o high_a in_o not_o destroy_v those_o that_o trust_v only_o in_o your_o mercy_n which_o with_o humble_a request_n i_o presume_v to_o bless_v your_o sacred_a hand_n vow_v the_o obedience_n and_o service_n of_o your_o majesty_n your_o most_o dutiful_a and_o loyal_a servant_n
