because_o all_o he_o have_v say_v have_v be_v turn_v on_o he_o as_o a_o crime_n his_o lordship_n give_v this_o further_a answer_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o proclamation_n make_v by_o the_o

though_o none_o of_o these_o be_v for_o his_o justification_n yet_o for_o reason_n of_o state_n this_o restraint_n be_v most_o necessary_a for_o whosoever_o go_v over_o deputy_n while_o these_o two_o

according_a to_o the_o constitution_n of_o that_o kingdom_n that_o they_o shall_v give_v a_o account_n to_o the_o chief_a governor_n and_o it_o be_v no_o other_o than_o what_o be_v practise_v here_o

short_a answer_n to_o every_o one_o of_o they_o 1._o for_o religion_n my_o lord_n we_o say_v and_o we_o shall_v prove_v that_o he_o have_v be_v diligent_a indeed_o to_o favour_v innovation_n to_o

increase_n of_o his_o revenue_n it_o be_v true_a there_o may_v be_v some_o addition_n of_o sum_n but_o we_o say_v there_o be_v no_o addition_n of_o strength_n nor_o wealth_n because_o in_o those_o part_n where_o it_o have_v be_v increase_v this_o earl_n have_v take_v the_o great_a share_v himself_o and_o when_o he_o have_v spoil_v and_o ravine_a on_o the_o people_n he_o have_v be_v content_a to_o yield_v up_o some_o part_n to_o the_o king_n that_o he_o may_v with_o more_o security_n enjoy_v the_o rest_n 4._o for_o the_o strength_n and_o honour_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o kingdom_n my_o lord_n in_o a_o time_n of_o peace_n he_o have_v let_v in_o upon_o we_o the_o calamity_n of_o war_n weakness_n shame_n and_o confusion_n 5._o and_o for_o the_o quiet_a of_o the_o subject_n he_o have_v
