by_o reason_n of_o his_o near_a attendance_n on_o he_o to_o give_v they_o a_o true_a character_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o to_o speak_v nothing_o but_o what_o they_o may_v confident_o from_o his_o

character_n i._o that_o his_o majesty_n be_v a_o prince_n unto_o who_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v a_o very_a large_a measure_n of_o wisdom_n and_o understanding_n far_o above_o his_o year_n for_o to_o the_o great_a admiration_n of_o those_o who_o there_o sit_v in_o council_n with_o he_o and_o when_o they_o thougbt_v that_o they_o have_v speak_v unto_o some_o good_a purpose_n his_o great_a reason_n upon_o emergent_a occasion_n will_v weigh_v down_o all_o they_o ii_o he_o say_v that_o while_o he_o have_v the_o honour_n and_o happiness_n to_o wait_v upon_o his_o majesty_n at_o st._n johnstons_n in_o scotland_n which_o be_v during_o the_o whole_a time_n of_o his_o abode_n there_o he_o keep_v both_o his_o eye_n and_o ear_n open_a upon_o he_o and_o can_v never_o observe_v nor_o hear_v which_o be_v very_o remarkable_a that_o his_o majesty_n be_v addict_v unto_o any_o sin_n of_o youth_n iii_o to_o testify_v this_o his_o majesty_n be_v very_o careful_a to_o have_v a_o most_o regular_a and_o exemplary_a court_n keep_v his_o whole_a family_n there_o in_o very_o excellent_a and_o good_a order_n and_o to_o this_o end_n if_o he_o have_v hear_v of_o any_o person_n or_o person_n in_o it_o give_v to_o swear_v drunkenness_n or_o to_o any_o other_o exorbitancy_n upon_o a_o serious_a admonition_n if_o they_o do_v not_o reform_v they_o be_v show_v the_o way_n out_o of_o his_o door_n not_o to_o be_v take_v into_o his_o family_n any_o more_o iv_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o have_v hear_v the_o king_n oftentimes_o to_o say_v thus_o and_o he_o desire_v that_o this_o may_v be_v in_o a_o special_a manner_n remember_v by_o we_o that_o if_o ever_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o restore_v he_o unto_o and_o to_o settle_v he_o in_o his_o just_a right_n that_o he_o will_v assoon_o endure_v a_o know_a traitor_n about_o he_o as_o a_o debauch_a man_n v._o that_o his_o majesty_n be_v very_o strict_a in_o the_o observation_n of_o his_o private_a devotion_n twice_o every_o day_n and_o will_v not_o suffer_v any_o occasion_n to_o divert_v he_o from_o those_o duty_n and_o that_o he_o be_v as_o careful_a likewise_o to_o frequent_v the_o public_a ordinance_n vi_o that_o his_o majesty_n retire_v himself_o in_o his_o chamber_n or_o closet_n where_o he_o fast_v every_o tuesday_n in_o memoral_n of_o his_o royal_a father_n that_o day_n of_o the_o week_n force_v out_o of_o his_o

that_o his_o majesty_n be_v a_o prince_n as_o just_a to_o make_v his_o word_n good_a as_o any_o one_o in_o the_o world_n can_v be_v for_o he_o will_v never_o fail_v to_o perform_v any_o thing_n he_o promise_v if_o possible_o in_o his_o power_n and_o therefore_o be_v more_o rich_a in_o promise_v for_o fear_v that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v able_a to_o make_v good_a his_o word_n viii_o that_o his_o
