will_v not_o only_o deliver_v the_o same_o to_o the_o parliament_n but_o will_v engage_v all_o my_o friend_n that_o his_o desire_n may_v be_v grant_v well_o say_v i_o do_v sir_n john_n stawell_n harken_v to_o your_o advice_n and_o have_v he_o send_v you_o such_o a_o petition_n no_o no_o say_v mr._n hollis_n he_o do_v utter_o refuse_v to_o be_v advise_v by_o i_o certain_o the_o man_n be_v either_o mad_a or_o have_v lose_v his_o wit_n else_o he_o will_v not_o be_v so_o obstinate_a then_o say_v i_o sir_n john_n stawell_n have_v often_o be_v advise_v by_o i_o and_o other_o his_o friend_n to_o follow_v that_o course_n which_o you_o have_v now_o advise_v he_o unto_o but_o he_o have_v always_o reject_v our_o counsel_n and_o be_v peremptory_a in_o his_o resolution_n which_o will_v be_v his_o ruin_n and_o i_o do_v affirm_v that_o i_o never_o receive_v any_o other_o petition_n from_o sir_n john_n stawell_n but_o that_o which_o i_o now_o mention_v and_o now_o reader_n have_v thus_o in_o all_o plainness_n and_o truth_n make_v thou_o this_o faithful_a narrative_n with_o all_o its_o circumstance_n and_o show_v who_o the_o witness_n be_v that_o can_v and_o i_o presume_v will_n if_o call_v make_v good_a the_o same_o thou_o will_v exceed_o admire_v the_o front_n and_o boldness_n of_o this_o gentleman_n sir_n john_n stawel_n who_o with_o so_o much_o confidence_n shall_v adventure_v to_o publish_v in_o print_n that_o which_o not_o only_o his_o own_o conscience_n tell_v he_o to_o be_v a_o notorious_a untruth_n but_o also_o know_v the_o witness_n that_o can_v convict_v he_o thereof_o and_o what_o cause_n have_v thou_o then_o to_o believe_v those_o other_o story_n which_o he_o have_v print_v and_o be_v as_o they_o be_v pretend_v private_a discourse_n between_o sir_n john_n stawell_n and_o myself_o i_o have_v here_o conclude_v this_o discourse_n but_o find_v in_o page_n 59_o 60_o and_o 61._o the_o copy_n of_o a_o letter_n sign_v by_o sir_n anthony_n irby_n and_o direct_v unto_o thracy_n paunsfoot_o esq_n and_o also_o a_o certificate_n sign_v by_o sir_n david_n watkins_n i_o think_v it_o requisite_a to_o give_v some_o answer_n to_o the_o say_a letter_n and_o certificate_n and_o then_o to_o conclude_v in_o that_o letter_n sign_v by_o sir_n anthony_n irby_n among_o other_o thing_n which_o he_o do_v there_o misrecite_v these_o particular_n be_v relate_v and_o assert_v viz._n that_o sir_n john_n stawel_n deportment_n to_o we_o of_o the_o committee_n at_o that_o time_n mean_v at_o his_o second_o appearance_n and_o the_o other_o time_n that_o he_o be_v before_o we_o for_o my_o part_n i_o take_v no_o offence_n at_o it_o neither_o do_v i_o think_v just_o there_o can_v be_v any_o he_o be_v of_o himself_o of_o a_o blunt_a carriage_n but_o for_o incivility_n i_o see_v none_o at_o the_o time_n he_o be_v before_o we_o either_o in_o gesture_n or_o language_n for_o my_o part_n i_o will_v have_v have_v he_o admit_v to_o composition_n know_v money_n will_v have_v do_v the_o parliament_n service_n beside_o by_o his_o article_n we_o ought_v but_o i_o be_v but_o one_o other_o be_v not_o of_o my_o mind_n but_o heighten_v his_o offence_n high_a take_v acception_n at_o his_o carriage_n and_o language_n will_v have_v it_o report_v to_o the_o house_n for_o my_o part_n than_o i_o think_v that_o there_o be_v more_o in_o it_o than_o be_v outward_o express_v but_o the_o truth_n be_v by_o the_o order_n of_o the_o house_n we_o be_v bind_v up_o from_o admit_v he_o to_o compound_v unless_o he_o take_v the_o covenant_n except_o the_o house_n will_v dispense_v with_o it_o which_o they_o do_v when_o they_o approve_v of_o those_o article_n to_o this_o part_n of_o the_o letter_n i_o give_v this_o answer_n that_o sir_n anthony_n irby_n be_v the_o principal_a man_n of_o all_o the_o committee_n that_o take_v exception_n at_o the_o paper_n which_o he_o be_v please_v now_o to_o call_v sir_n john_n stawel_n petition_n and_o be_v

anthony_n irby_n especial_o together_o with_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o committee_n then_o present_a be_v so_o offend_v at_o sir_n john_n stawel_n language_n and_o behaviour_n that_o they_o make_v a_o order_n that_o i_o then_o be_v in_o the_o chair_n of_o that_o committee_n shall_v the_o next_o day_n report_v the_o same_o to_o the_o parliament_n which_o report_n have_v be_v make_v according_o
