passion_n nor_o can_v any_o man_n come_v unto_o they_o at_o any_o time_n but_o diverse_a shall_v be_v find_v afore_o he_o who_o challenge_v a_o dispatch_n of_o their_o business_n according_a to_o

of_o this_o cloth_n of_o business_n at_o the_o great_a length_n to_o keep_v you_o from_o a_o further_a suit_n or_o trouble_v the_o king_n with_o other_o matter_n of_o importance_n till_o this_o be_v

you_o will_v not_o command_v nor_o i_o can_v justify_v in_o the_o answer_n i_o mean_v to_o reserve_v they_o till_o i_o have_v opportunity_n to_o present_v my_o duty_n unto_o you_o as_o you_o have_v

suspicion_n by_o demand_v many_o question_n i_o have_v now_o think_v good_a to_o add_v to_o your_o experience_n some_o intelligence_n of_o my_o own_o whereby_o as_o you_o well_o say_v than_o i_o do_v gather_v the_o occasion_n of_o that_o defection_n and_o desist_v from_o their_o martial_a ceremony_n you_o must_v then_o understand_v that_o the_o garrison_n have_v new_o mutine_v and_o from_o

when_o insolent_a and_o tumultuous_a soldier_n have_v look_v with_o grim_a and_o traitorous_a visage_n on_o the_o face_n of_o good_a order_n and_o make_v a_o repugnant_a disobedience_n against_o all_o

cause_n of_o the_o stillness_n in_o antwerp_n at_o your_o lodging_n in_o the_o town_n and_o among_o other_o policy_n of_o war_n according_a to_o the_o several_a business_n in_o hand_n of_o which_o you_o shall_v hear_v more_o hereafter_o when_o we_o have_v further_a leisure_n to_o dispute_v of_o other_o occurrent_n you_o in_o terror_n of_o death_n to_o his_o well_o dispose_v friend_n mr._n

you_o shall_v well_o perceive_v by_o my_o plain_a and_o true_a satisfaction_n of_o your_o demand_n although_o it_o be_v somewhat_o too_o intricate_a to_o deal_v in_o such_o confuse_a question_n and_o dangerous_a relation_n of_o business_n whereas_o then_o you_o demand_v the_o reason_n why_o so_o many_o great_a and_o noble_a person_n have_v as_o it_o be_v meet_v with_o death_n and_o destruction_n in_o the_o violent_a race_n of_o their_o turbulent_a innovation_n and_o insolent_a wilfulness_n not_o take_v warning_n by_o precedent_a example_n nor_o terrify_v with_o the_o ever-impending_a reward_n of_o treason_n which_o be_v the_o overthrow_n both_o of_o themselves_o and_o family_n i_o answer_v that_o true_o i_o can_v yield_v you_o no_o reason_n because_o all_o they_o pretend_v be_v not_o only_o against_o reason_n but_o many_o time_n against_o policy_n and_o at_o all_o time_n against_o honesty_n and_o religion_n yet_o can_v i_o give_v you_o some_o false_a fire_n and_o as_o it_o be_v contrive_v adulterate_a excuse_n out_o of_o favour_n and_o partiality_n you_o have_v read_v then_o that_o the_o devil_n in_o compass_v the_o earth_n do_v consider_v man_n frailty_n in_o his_o progress_n and_o as_o the_o principal_a mark_n of_o the_o world_n he_o most_o glorious_o attempt_n principality_n and_o power_n so_o that_o sometime_o he_o plead_v the_o axiom_n of_o philosoher_n and_o recite_v a_o pestilent_a position_n out_o of_o euripides_n that_o if_o faith_n and_o loyalty_n be_v to_o be_v rend_v asunder_o it_o be_v excusable_a in_o compass_v a_o diadem_n and_o reach_v at_o a_o crown_n thus_o stephen_n earl_n of_o blois_n usurp_v the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n and_o make_v war_n on_o the_o faction_n of_o the_o empress_n and_o thus_o henry_n the_o four_o in_o fringe_a his_o first_o vow_n to_o step_v no_o further_o than_o the_o duchy_n of_o lancaster_n but_o when_o he_o find_v no_o hindrance_n he_o quick_o range_v over_o all_o other_o territory_n and_o jurisdiction_n sometime_o he_o dilate_v matchivilian_a policy_n and_o tell_v man_n that_o be_v cruel_a and_o ambitious_a that_o they_o which_o mean_v to_o have_v a_o smooth_a walk_n to_o contentment_n yea_o to_o pass_v the_o time_n in_o any_o orchard_n or_o garden_n of_o pleasure_n must_v not_o only_o remove_v the_o great_a block_n stick_n and_o stone_n but_o as_o occasion_n serve_v pick_v out_o the_o sharp_a pebble_n and_o roll_v the_o same_o smooth_a thus_o athaliah_n destroy_v the_o king_n stock_n to_o gain_v the_o diadem_n and_o thus_o richard_n the_o three_o first_o remove_v the_o queen_n kindred_n after_o usurp_a the_o person_n of_o the_o two_o prince_n sometime_o he_o whisper_v in_o the_o ear_n of_o moderate_a king_n that_o they_o may_v be_v jealous_a in_o point_n of_o sovereignty_n and_o who_o shall_v control_v they_o if_o they_o settle_v their_o fear_n and_o peace_n though_o they_o see_v the_o bleed_a neck_n of_o such_o as_o they_o fear_v thus_o adoniah_n fall_v under_o his_o young_a brother_n thus_o nero_n put_v corbulo_n and_o germanicus_n to_o death_n because_o they_o be_v repute_v worthy_a of_o the_o kingdom_n thus_o be_v mortimer_n in_o henry_n the_o fourth_n time_n as_o it_o be_v banish_v from_o the_o court_n thus_o be_v long_o before_o that_o robert_z duke_z of_o normandy_n deprive_v of_o his_o eye_n thus_o be_v edward_n plantagenet_n earl_n of_o warwick_n imprison_v and_o destroy_v with_o many_o such_o like_a sometime_o he_o make_v the_o justify_n of_o a_o faction_n and_o the_o love_a of_o one_o another_o and_o honest_a cause_n of_o rebellion_n as_o you_o see_v in_o the_o baron_n 〈◊〉_d in_o the_o begin_n of_o henry_n the_o four_o when_o the_o king_n shall_v have_v be_v destroy_v at_o oxenford_n and_o afterward_o when_o the_o percy_n maintain_v the_o coadiutement_n of_o worcester_n and_o mortimer_n sometime_o he_o raise_v innovation_n and_o treason_n out_o of_o the_o circle_n of_o ambition_n and_o vainglory_n upon_o any_o pretence_n of_o a_o title_n as_o you_o see_v in_o the_o first_o claim_n of_o richard_n plantagenet_n duke_n of_o york_n and_o in_o the_o last_o tumult_n of_o the_o earl_n of_o warrewicke_n in_o edward_n the_o fourth_n time_n sometime_o he_o deceive_v honour_n with_o covetousness_n and_o bog_n the_o mind_n of_o generous_a spirit_n with_o hope_n of_o increase_n of_o live_v and_o augmentation_n of_o title_n thus_o be_v the_o duke_n of_o buckingham_n catch_v in_o a_o snare_n of_o the_o earldom_n of_o hertford_n and_o not_o only_o streched_a his_o arm_n out_o to_o help_v richard_n the_o

whereby_o he_o lose_v his_o head_n sometime_o he_o imposture_n man_n with_o the_o fanatical_a hope_n of_o devilish_a promise_n from_o forcerie_n and_o witchcraft_n as_o you_o may_v read_v of_o
