i_o make_v it_o a_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n to_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o kill_v the_o king_n or_o to_o imbrue_v my_o hand_n in_o his_o blood_n but_o be_v so_o generous_a as_o to_o undertake_v the_o

a_o idiot_n that_o i_o shall_v not_o understand_v it_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n to_o engage_v the_o king_n guard_n whilst_o another_o kill_v he_o as_o to_o kill_v he_o with_o my_o own_o hand_n but_o however_o by_o their_o swear_v against_o i_o they_o have_v secure_v their_o own_o life_n and_o estate_n and_o make_v my_o blood_n the_o price_n of_o they_o i_o confess_v i_o be_v so_o unfortunate_a

that_o they_o do_v not_o value_n ireland_n for_o it_o must_v follow_v england_n i_o have_v not_o more_o to_o say_v mr._n sheriff_n but_o true_o you_o will_v do_v a_o act_n of_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o

through_o his_o grace_n that_o the_o world_n may_v understand_v that_o i_o do_v not_o die_v as_o capt._n walcot_n say_v a_o atheist_n i_o do_v here_o declare_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o
