king_n for_o a_o slight_a esteem_n of_o his_o friend_n at_o oxford_n who_o they_o will_v fain_o seduce_v from_o he_o to_o which_o purpose_n they_o take_v great_a advantage_n from_o a_o word_n they_o find_v in_o one_o of_o his_o letter_n scil_n in_o paper_n 13._o which_o they_o dress_v up_o for_o their_o own_o purpose_n with_o 2._o more_o of_o their_o own_o add_v according_a to_o their_o wont_a

allege_v the_o copy_n of_o a_o letter_n write_v by_o his_o majesty_n own_o hand_n to_z secretary_z nicholas_z about_o the_o same_o i_o receive_v it_o also_o from_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o

be_v thus_o i_o be_o very_o sorry_a that_o i_o have_v be_v so_o unfortunate_a to_o have_v my_o private_a letter_n take_v by_o the_o rebel_n but_o if_o all_o man_n private_a thought_n be_v see_v as_o i_o be_v i_o believe_v i_o shall_v appear_v as_o innocent_a as_o any_o it_o may_v be_v that_o many_o expression_n in_o those_o letter_n may_v have_v be_v prudent_o omit_v but_o if_o one_o be_v well_o

easy_o be_v understand_v that_o i_o mean_v it_o of_o he_o and_o his_o adherent_n and_o indeed_o let_v the_o letter_n be_v read_v and_o to_o a_o equal_a eye_n it_o can_v appear_v no_o otherwise_o to_o be_v intend_v then_o his_o majesty_n have_v express_v yet_o these_o liar_n in_o wait_n do_v collect_v from_o thence_o and_o tell_v the_o lord_n and_o gentleman_n at_o oxford_n that_o the_o king_n

that_o be_v as_o they_o say_v afterward_o to_o think_v and_o act_v the_o same_o thing_n which_o the_o inhuman_a irish_a rebel_n or_o the_o worst_a foreign_a enemy_n of_o our_o religion_n and_o state_n can_v wish_v to_o be_v do_v and_o thereupon_o they_o compare_v their_o sovereign_n the_o most_o religious_a and_o gracious_a prince_n that_o ever_o this_o nation_n have_v to_o richard_n the_o three_o who_o first_o reject_v and_o then_o behead_v the_o duke_n of_o buckhingham_n because_o when_o he_o have_v further_v he_o in_o depose_v and_o disinherit_n the_o two_o prince_n he_o be_v not_o wicked_a enough_o say_v they_o to_o consent_v also_o to_o the_o murder_n of_o they_o and_o to_o advise_v the_o lord_n and_o gentleman_n to_o take_v warning_n by_o the_o duke_n example_n and_o timely_a to_o turn_v away_o from_o the_o king_n unto_o goodness_n that_o be_v to_o their_o society_n it_o be_v sufficient_a only_o that_o i_o have_v relate_v what_o they_o say_v that_o villainy_n need_v no_o further_a discovery_n or_o confutation_n only_o i_o add_v this_o those_o lord_n and_o gentleman_n who_o they_o labour_v to_o seduce_v and_o who_o love_n and_o conscience_n have_v engage_v to_o their_o

many_o of_o they_o sacrifice_v their_o life_n for_o he_o how_o joyful_o have_v they_o endure_v the_o spoil_n of_o their_o good_n for_o his_o sake_n with_o what_o admiration_n do_v inferior_a man_n behold_v the_o chieerfulness_n and_o contentedness_n of_o great_a person_n in_o great_a affliction_n and_o be_v ready_a daily_o to_o cry_v out_o unto_o they_o o_o christian_n most_o true_o noble_a how_o much_o better_o have_v you_o learned_a christ_n then_o we_o have_v do_v assure_o as_o never_o prince_n be_v more_o unhappy_a in_o many_o of_o his_o people_n than_o we_o be_v so_o never_o be_v

the_o rancour_n of_o this_o accusation_n need_v no_o confutation_n neither_o for_o how_o real_a his_o majesty_n have_v be_v in_o his_o endeavour_n for_o peace_n heaven_n and_o earth_n can_v witness_v

o_o how_o oft_o as_o the_o world_n know_v have_v his_o majesty_n tender_v they_o pardon_v for_o all_o their_o unrepairable_a wrong_n do_v against_o he_o if_o they_o will_v but_o let_v he_o and_o his_o
