be_v upon_o the_o very_a place_n where_o these_o tragedy_n be_v say_v to_o be_v act_v beside_o i_o be_v real_o ashamed_a of_o the_o king_n evidence_n as_o they_o call_v they_o against_o the_o papist_n

make_v by_o other_o nation_n give_v i_o some_o trouble_n and_o i_o almost_o wish_v for_o the_o vindication_n of_o my_o native_a country_n to_o find_v a_o solid_a proof_n of_o any_o thing_n do_v by_o the_o papist_n in_o other_o place_n may_v seem_v to_o counterpoise_v our_o late_a transaction_n and_o look_v like_o the_o sad_a catastrophe_n practise_v by_o we_o against_o they_o here_o but_o i_o

can_v give_v the_o least_o umbrage_n of_o ground_n for_o such_o rueful_a story_n yet_o i_o will_v not_o though_o well_o i_o may_v rest_v here_o i_o hear_v there_o have_v be_v a_o general_a assembly_n of_o the_o clergy_n of_o france_n convene_v at_o paris_n i_o know_v very_o well_o the_o say_a clergy_n lay_v under_o no_o restraint_n which_o can_v hinder_v they_o from_o vent_v their_o malice_n if_o they_o have_v any_o against_o protestant_n on_o the_o contrary_a the_o rigour_n and_o cruelty_n which_o they_o shall_v express_v may_v seem_v the_o only_a mean_n to_o ingratiate_v they_o into_o the_o
