full_a of_o extreme_a danger_n to_o their_o life_n and_o so_o certain_o to_o incur_v the_o high_a wrath_n of_o god_n almighty_n my_o thought_n be_v thus_o rude_a at_o first_o but_o after_o a_o

apparent_o destructive_a of_o our_o dear_a master_n his_o royal_a law_n of_o charity_n &_o obedience_n that_o i_o must_v not_o be_v so_o uncharitable_a as_o to_o think_v they_o speak_v their_o own_o

likewise_o forfeit_v the_o law_n of_o charity_n to_o themselves_o and_o if_o they_o say_v not_o true_a yet_o to_o be_v more_o uncharitable_a to_o their_o own_o person_n than_o i_o dare_v be_v though_o i_o have_v their_o own_o warrant_n brief_o most_n r._n father_n i_o find_v among_o they_o of_o the_o roman_a party_n such_o prevail_a opinion_n as_o can_v not_o consist_v with_o loyalty_n to_o their_o prince_n in_o case_n he_o be_v not_o the_o pope_n subject_n and_o these_o so_o general_o believe_v and_o somewhere_o obtrude_v under_o peril_n of_o their_o soul_n that_o i_o can_v not_o but_o point_n

guide_v they_o better_o than_o their_o own_o pilot_n i_o can_v not_o therefore_o but_o think_v it_o very_o likely_a that_o this_o treason_n may_v spring_v from_o the_o same_o fountain_n and_o i_o have_v conclude_v so_o in_o my_o first_o meditation_n but_o that_o i_o be_v willing_a to_o consider_v whether_o or_o no_o it_o may_v not_o be_v that_o these_o man_n be_v rather_o exasperate_v then_o persuade_v and_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o that_o the_o severity_n of_o our_o law_n against_o they_o may_v rather_o provoke_v their_o intemperate_a zeal_n than_o religion_n thus_o move_v their_o settle_a conscience_n it_o be_v a_o material_a consideration_n because_o they_o ever_o do_v and_o still_o do_v fill_v the_o world_n with_o outcry_n against_o our_o law_n for_o make_v a_o rape_n upon_o their_o conscience_n have_v print_v catalogue_n of_o their_o english_a martyr_n draw_v scheme_n of_o most_o strange_a torture_n impose_v on_o their_o priest_n such_o as_o be_v unimaginable_a by_o nero_n or_o dioclesian_n or_o any_o of_o the_o worst_a and_o cruel_a enemy_n of_o christianity_n endeavour_v thus_o to_o make_v we_o partly_o guilty_a of_o our_o own_o ruin_n and_o so_o wash_v their_o hand_n in_o token_n of_o their_o own_o innocency_n even_o then_o when_o they_o be_v dip_v they_o in_o the_o blood_n royal_a and_o will_v have_v empty_v the_o best_a vein_n in_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n to_o fill_v their_o lavatory_n but_o i_o find_v all_o these_o to_o be_v but_o calumny_n strong_a accusation_n upon_o weak_a presumption_n and_o that_o the_o cause_n do_v rest_v where_o i_o have_v begin_v i_o mean_v upon_o the_o pretence_n of_o the_o catholic_a cause_n and_o that_o the_o imagine_a iniquity_n of_o the_o law_n of_o england_n can_v not_o be_v make_v a_o veil_n to_o cover_v the_o

some_o part_n of_o my_o thought_n which_o because_o happy_o they_o be_v but_o a_o just_a truth_n and_o this_o truth_n not_o unseasonable_a for_o these_o last_o time_n in_o which_o as_o s._n paul_n

king_n be_v thus_o far_o encourage_v i_o resolve_v to_o go_v something_o further_o even_o to_o the_o boldness_n of_o a_o dedication_n to_o your_o grace_n that_o since_o i_o have_v no_o merit_n of_o

to_o your_o grace_n be_v not_o altogether_o unreasonable_a for_o since_o all_o know_v that_o your_o grace_n think_v not_o your_o life_n your_o own_o but_o when_o it_o spend_v itself_o in_o the_o
