answer_v that_o which_o be_v not_o object_v as_o a_o charge_n for_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o time_n he_o have_v spend_v in_o examine_v so_o many_o witness_n be_v to_o show_v on_o what_o

of_o the_o country_n nor_o bind_v they_o that_o have_v dissent_v before_o and_o who_o consent_n be_v not_o involve_v and_o it_o be_v no_o legal_a way_n to_o raise_v money_n by_o warrant_n much_o less_o by_o force_n for_o the_o money_n levy_v after_o the_o month_n expire_v my_o lord_n have_v offer_v no_o colour_n to_o their_o lordship_n for_o first_o the_o ground_n whereupon_o he_o raise_v

no_o difference_n in_o the_o main_a among_o the_o vote_n so_o that_o by_o both_o the_o testimony_n it_o plain_o appear_v that_o his_o opinion_n be_v no_o other_o than_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o rest_n and_o certain_o as_o that_o opinion_n can_v never_o be_v charge_v on_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o any_o kind_n whatsoever_o so_o he_o trust_v it_o shall_v never_o be_v

the_o person_n that_o be_v there_o it_o shall_v appear_v he_o deliver_v no_o vote_n at_o all_o at_o that_o time_n but_o the_o vote_n of_o the_o board_n but_o it_o be_v clear_a in_o their_o own_o

concern_v something_o speak_v at_o york_n at_o a_o council_n there_o call_v he_o meet_v before_o the_o assembly_n of_o the_o great_a council_n of_o the_o peer_n where_o he_o conceive_v and_o as_o he_o remember_v he_o the_o earl_n of_o strafford_n speak_v something_o to_o this_o sense_n that_o the_o unreasonable_a demand_n of_o subject_n in_o parliament_n be_v a_o ground_n for_o the_o king_n to_o put_v himself_o into_o a_o posture_n of_o war._n when_o this_o have_v be_v resolve_v by_o the_o council_n of_o england_n he_o conceive_v it_o no_o great_a crime_n for_o he_o to_o say_v so_o for_o upon_o the_o question_n put_v on_o those_o demand_n it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o be_v fit_a for_o the_o king_n to_o put_v himself_o into_o a_o posture_n of_o war_n and_o into_o a_o condition_n to_o
