a_o part_n in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o that_o story_n in_o his_o other_o work_v this_o author_n i_o be_o sure_a make_v little_a mention_n enough_o of_o himself_o and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v that_o person_n so_o much_o employ_v in_o public_a business_n will_v tell_v all_o their_o own_o part_n as_o well_o other_o man_n and_o as_o naked_o as_o he_o seem_v to_o do_v in_o these_o

attack_v and_o thereupon_o in_o great_a passion_n and_o rage_n which_o will_v pass_v for_o a_o admirable_a argument_n that_o he_o design_n to_o speak_v nothing_o but_o truth_n and_o for_o a_o very_a cunning_a way_n of_o be_v believe_v though_o some_o man_n perhaps_o may_v think_v that_o whatever_o be_v say_v in_o passion_n be_v but_o just_a so_o much_o of_o nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n and_o that_o it_o common_o make_v a_o man_n in_o what_o he_o say_v or_o do_v not_o only_o as_o peevish_a as_o a_o wasp_n but_o as_o blind_a as_o a_o beetle_n but_o if_o he_o will_v believe_v right_a or_o wrong_n why_o will_v not_o he_o believe_v in_o his_o turn_n and_o why_o be_v not_o he_o content_v to_o give_v as_o well_o as_o to_o take_v he_o will_v not_o allow_v that_o sir_n w._n t._n may_v

a_o part_n in_o all_o those_o affair_n there_o relate_v who_o be_v the_o best_a and_o most_o competent_a judge_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o i_o never_o hear_v that_o any_o of_o they_o have_v yet_o

must_v confess_v i_o be_o neither_o do_v enough_o nor_o have_v have_v conversation_n in_o court_n and_o with_o public_a affair_n to_o give_v a_o account_n how_o sir_n w._n t._n come_v into_o

it_o be_v a_o very_a ancient_a one_o that_o sir_n w._n t._n be_v bear_v of_o a_o very_a honourable_a father_n who_o be_v for_o many_o year_n of_o the_o privy_a council_n in_o ireland_n to_o king_n

upon_o his_o return_n from_o thence_o and_o make_v very_o little_a use_n of_o he_o i_o can_v give_v no_o other_o account_n beside_o what_o i_o find_v of_o the_o time_n and_o the_o manner_n in_o the_o

thence_o he_o plaster_n it_o up_o with_o say_v p._n 25._o if_o the_o late_a king_n of_o england_n do_v not_o approve_v of_o my_o conduct_n in_o the_o affair_n of_o nimeguen_n which_o in_o effect_n
