all_o disloyalty_n as_o i_o do_v that_o your_o lordship_n know_v must_v be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o superior_a duty_n i_o do_v owe_v to_o the_o queen_n fame_n and_o honour_n in_o a_o public_a proceed_n and_o partly_o to_o the_o intention_n i_o have_v to_o uphold_v myself_o in_o credit_n and_o strength_n with_o the_o queen_n the_o better_a to_o be_v able_a to_o do_v my_o lord_n good_a office_n afterward_o for_o assoon_o as_o this_o day_n be_v past_a i_o lose_v no_o time_n but_o the_o very_a next_o day_n follow_v as_o i_o remember_v i_o attend_v her_o majesty_n full_o resolve_v to_o try_v and_o put_v in_o use_v my_o utmost_a endeavour_n so_o far_o as_o i_o in_o my_o weakness_n can_v give_v furtherance_n to_o bring_v my_o lord_n speedy_o again_o into_o court_n and_o into_o favour_n and_o know_v as_o i_o suppose_v at_o least_o how_o the_o queen_n be_v to_o be_v use_v i_o think_v that_o to_o make_v she_o conceive_v that_o the_o matter_n go_v well_o then_o be_v the_o way_n to_o make_v she_o leave_v off_o there_o and_o i_o remember_v well_o i_o say_v to_o she_o you_o have_v now_o madam_n obtain_v victory_n over_o two_o thing_n which_o the_o great_a prince_n in_o the_o world_n

my_o lord_n he_o do_v show_v that_o humiliation_n towards_o your_o majesty_n as_o i_o be_o persuade_v he_o be_v never_o in_o his_o life_n time_n more_o fit_a for_o your_o majesty_n favour_n than_o he_o be_v now_o therefore_o if_o your_o majesty_n will_v not_o mar_v it_o by_o linger_a but_o give_v over_o at_o the_o best_a and_o now_o you_o have_v make_v so_o good_a a_o full_a point_n receive_v he_o again_o with_o tenderness_n i_o shall_v then_o think_v that_o all_o that_o be_v past_a be_v for_o the_o best_a whereat_o i_o remember_v she_o take_v exceed_v great_a contentment_n and_o do_v

day_n i_o obey_v her_o commandment_n and_o within_o some_o few_o day_n after_o bring_v she_o again_o the_o narration_n which_o i_o do_v read_v unto_o she_o in_o two_o several_a afternoon_n and_o when_o i_o come_v to_o that_o part_n that_o set_v forth_o my_o lord_n own_o answer_n which_o be_v my_o principal_a care_n i_o do_v well_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o she_o be_v extraordinary_o move_v

representation_n of_o the_o matter_n to_o herself_o that_o she_o will_v let_v it_o go_v no_o further_o for_o madam_n say_v i_o the_o fire_n blaze_v well_o already_o what_o shall_v you_o tumble_v it_o and_o beside_o it_o may_v please_v you_o keep_v a_o conveniency_n with_o yourself_o in_o this_o case_n for_o since_o your_o express_a direction_n be_v there_o shall_v be_v no_o register_n nor_o

forth_o during_o the_o whole_a latter_a end_n of_o that_o summer_n while_o the_o court_n be_v at_o non-such_a and_o oatland_n i_o make_v it_o my_o task_n and_o scope_n to_o take_v and_o give_v

what_o i_o find_v and_o what_o i_o wish_v and_o i_o draw_v for_o he_o by_o his_o appointment_n some_o letter_n to_o her_o majesty_n which_o though_o i_o know_v well_o his_o lordship_n gift_n and_o

unto_o he_o for_o these_o same_o gradation_n of_o you_o be_v fit_a to_o corrupt_v than_o to_o correct_v any_o mind_n of_o greatness_n and_o another_o time_n i_o remember_v she_o tell_v i_o for_o
