to_o our_o posterity_n and_o albeit_o for_o the_o present_a there_o be_v war_n and_o hostility_n between_o our_o nation_n and_o our_o prince_n and_o they_o conclusion_n and_o that_o especial_o in_o respect_n of_o religion_n yet_o our_o trust_n be_v &_o our_o prayer_n be_v continual_o to_o our_o everlasting_a god_n of_o peace_n that_o he_o will_v once_o finish_v well_o that_o controversy_n to_o all_o our_o comfort_n and_o benefit_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a space_n i_o do_v presume_v so_o much_o of_o the_o good_a nature_n and_o civility_n of_o most_o protestant_n in_o england_n that_o they_o allow_v not_o of_o such_o bitter_a and_o barbarous_a proceed_n as_o sir_n francis_n hastinge_n have_v use_v to_o his_o own_o discredit_n and_o dishonour_n of_o our_o nation_n in_o these_o malignant_a calumniation_n against_o so_o modest_a a_o prince_n in_o which_o respect_n also_o i_o have_v be_v somewhat_o the_o bold_a to_o give_v he_o his_o check_n with_o more_o freedom_n and_o fervour_n i_o pray_v god_n it_o may_v do_v he_o the_o good_a i_o wish_v or_o at_o least_o keep_v other_o from_o be_v deceive_v by_o he_o the_o remission_n of_o the_o whole_a answer_n to_o the_o judgement_n and_o arbitrement_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o her_o majesty_n most_o honourable_a council_n with_o the_o answerer_n opinion_n and_o petition_n for_o the_o end_n of_o these_o dissension_n and_o controversy_n and_o now_o right_a honourable_a have_v bring_v to_o a_o end_n so_o much_o as_o i_o think_v expedient_a to_o be_v answer_v at_o this_o time_n to_o sir_n francis_n hastinge_n injurious_a libel_n none_o occur_v more_o fit_a unto_o i_o to_o have_v the_o first_o sight_n and_o view_v and_o judgement_n of_o the_o whole_a than_o your_o lordship_n who_o though_o in_o the_o controversy_n itself_o between_o he_o and_o he_o and_o we_o and_o we_o i_o can_v expect_v to_o have_v you_o equal_a judge_n nor_o indifferent_a arbiter_n you_o profess_v the_o religion_n you_o do_v yet_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o prosecution_n thereof_o i_o presume_v so_o much_o of_o the_o good_a part_n that_o god_n have_v endue_v your_o lordship_n withal_o as_o i_o dare_v remit_v the_o arbitrement_n to_o yourselves_o to_o who_o if_o this_o rail_a wachword_n have_v be_v first_o present_v before_o it_o be_v punish_v as_o in_o right_n it_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v you_o be_v by_o office_n the_o wachman_n of_o that_o commonwealth_n and_o not_o sir_n francis_n who_o intrude_v himself_o i_o think_v very_o that_o either_o it_o have_v be_v whole_o stop_v and_o repress_v or_o at_o least_o wise_a so_o moderate_v as_o it_o shall_v not_o have_v give_v the_o offence_n that_o it_o have_v and_o will_v do_v for_o unto_o grave_a man_n such_o troublesome_a stickler_n as_o these_o be_v ever_o common_o and_o aught_o to_o be_v ungrateful_a and_o suspect_v and_o unto_o wise_a councelour_n and_o honourable_a person_n such_o rail_n and_o slanderous_a tongue_n be_v contemptible_a &_o odious_a and_o to_o all_o good_a

insufferable_a and_o rather_o severe_o to_o be_v punish_v than_o any_o way_n to_o be_v permit_v but_o yet_o so_o much_o the_o more_o in_o this_o case_n of_o we_o where_o the_o injury_n be_v not_o

to_o term_n of_o extreme_a affliction_n and_o that_o your_o lordship_n as_o father_n of_o your_o commonwealth_n will_v resolve_v at_o length_n to_o be_v mediator_n unto_o her_o majesty_n contemn_v
