now_o my_o design_n be_v to_o go_v to_o france_n and_o i_o have_v very_o great_a and_o good_a reason_n for_o it_o i_o think_v i_o have_v endeavonr_v all_o way_n i_o can_v in_o the_o world_n to_o

that_o be_v no_o manner_n of_o treason_n in_o the_o world_n carry_v paper_n to_o the_o king_n enemy_n except_o it_o be_v prove_v that_o i_o be_v privy_a to_o they_o and_o know_v the_o content_n of_o

and_o beside_o my_o lord_n there_o be_v not_o any_o manner_n of_o proof_n so_o much_o as_o aim_v at_o by_o the_o king_n council_n in_o all_o their_o evidence_n that_o i_o be_v privy_a to_o any_o one_o
