not_o nor_o ever_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o prove_v that_o he_o do_v but_o the_o scot_n say_v that_o he_o do_v and_o so_o they_o do_v say_v a_o thousand_o thing_n more_o than_o i_o believe_v to_o be_v true_a and_o they_o shall_v believe_v nothing_o especial_o what_o they_o know_v not_o against_o their_o king_n when_o as_o all_o other_o man_n that_o be_v both_o wise_a and_o honest_a can_v sufficient_o answer_v and_o justify_v all_o that_o ever_o his_o now_o majesty_n do_v and_o i_o that_o be_o not_o worthy_a to_o be_v of_o his_o counsel_n and_o to_o know_v the_o reason_n of_o his_o action_n yet_o can_v show_v you_o very_o just_a and_o sufficient_a reason_n for_o every_o thing_n that_o ever_o i_o hear_v his_o majesty_n do_v and_o i_o will_v do_v it_o but_o that_o himself_o and_o his_o council_n i_o know_v can_v justify_v all_o his_o action_n with_o many_o far_o deep_a reason_n than_o i_o can_v dive_v into_o therefore_o these_o very_a firebrand_n of_o sedition_n know_v this_o will_v a_o little_a excuse_n his_o majesty_n by_o lay_v the_o fault_n upon_o his_o counsellor_n that_o seduce_v he_o and_o who_o be_v they_o they_o speak_v in_o general_a &_o in_o universalibus_fw-la latet_fw-la error_n so_o do_v the_o long_a parliament_n against_o our_o late_a king_n there_o they_o learn_v their_o lesson_n and_o they_o walk_v in_o the_o same_o path_n but_o the_o former_a parliament_n can_v name_v their_o name_n the_o duke_n of_o buckingham_n so_o can_v these_o man_n name_v the_o duke_n of_o ormond_n and_o what_o have_v he_o do_v i_o observe_v two_o thing_n that_o they_o charge_v he_o with_o 1._o to_o testify_v what_o he_o know_v to_o be_v truth_n and_o these_o man_n conceive_v to_o be_v otherwise_o a_o mighty_a fault_n because_o they_o have_v not_o their_o eye_n open_a to_o see_v the_o truth_n his_o grace_n offend_v to_o testify_v the_o truth_n 2._o in_o obey_v his_o majesty_n gracious_a goodness_n by_o relieve_v those_o that_o be_v necessitous_a and_o perhaps_o for_o aught_o that_o they_o know_v have_v do_v his_o majesty_n very_o good_a service_n and_z for_o aught_o that_o we_o know_v have_v do_v no_o injury_n to_o any_o of_o our_o man_n and_o this_o be_v a_o sin_n unpardonable_a with_o these_o uncharitable_a man_n ay_o but_o they_o will_v say_v by_o relieve_v these_o he_o let_v the_o army_n starve_v and_o i_o demand_v what_o subject_n ever_o do_v pawn_v his_o own_o land_n melt_v his_o own_o plate_n lay_v out_o his_o own_o money_n to_o relieve_v the_o king_n army_n and_o to_o show_v himself_o i_o will_v not_o say_v more_o faithful_a but_o i_o say_v near_o so_o faithful_a to_o his_o king_n and_o so_o bountiful_a a_o benefactor_n and_o friend_n to_o all_o the_o king_n be_v loyal_a subject_n as_o the_o duke_n of_o ormond_n have_v always_o be_v i_o must_v and_o ever_o will_v with_o all_o thankfulness_n acknowledge_v it_o when_o the_o long_a parliament_n and_o their_o whelp_n have_v rob_v i_o of_o all_o that_o i_o have_v all_o the_o relief_n and_o subsistence_n which_o i_o have_v from_o all_o the_o friend_n in_o the_o world_n be_v that_o bountiful_a gift_n which_o this_o noble_a duke_n send_v i_o by_o sir_n george_n lane_n and_o i_o can_v name_v the_o many_o many_o more_o to_o who_o his_o grace_n do_v the_o like_a and_o be_v these_o thing_n fault_n worthy_a to_o be_v reprove_v and_o i_o be_o sure_a he_o hate_v the_o rebellion_n and_o disow_v the_o rebel_n of_o this_o nation_n as_o much_o or_o more_o than_o any_o man_n and_o will_v you_o have_v he_o to_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o the_o postnati_n and_o a_o stranger_n to_o the_o innocent_a god_n have_v make_v he_o a_o more_o honourable_a and_o a_o more_o gracious_a man_n ay_o but_o we_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v to_o the_o quick_a the_o english_a interest_n by_o the_o favour_n of_o the_o duke_n unto_o the_o irish_a and_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o court_n of_o claim_n be_v much_o shake_v and_o be_v like_a to_o be_v dismember_v and_o leave_v inanimate_a but_o will_v you_o have_v the_o english_a interest_n to_o continue_v be_v it_o right_n or_o wrong_n or_o will_v you_o have_v it_o so_o to_o continue_v that_o god_n may_v bless_v it_o and_o it_o to_o prosper_v if_o so_o then_o let_v it_o be_v root_v in_o justice_n and_o establish_v in_o truth_n or_o otherwise_o the_o breath_n of_o the_o lord_n will_v scatter_v it_o and_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n will_v soon_o destroy_v it_o and_o instead_o of_o blessing_n will_n as_o jacob_n say_v bring_v the_o curse_n of_o god_n upon_o you_o and_o your_o posterity_n and_o you_o may_v see_v if_o you_o have_v your_o eye_n open_a the_o great_a care_n of_o my_o l_o duke_n and_o the_o great_a pain_n and_o diligence_n of_o the_o court_n of_o claim_n to_o search_v out_o the_o truth_n of_o every_o cause_n that_o the_o innocent_a shall_v not_o be_v make_v guilty_a nor_o the_o nocent_a carry_v away_o the_o victory_n and_o what_o more_o will_v you_o have_v do_v yet_o as_o i_o say_v before_o they_o that_o have_v learn_v the_o way_n to_o be_v rebel_n do_v know_v the_o way_n to_o be_v rebellious_a still_o but_o especial_o because_o rebel_n and_o traitor_n have_v have_v their_o precedent_n and_o example_n to_o chalk_n and_o tread_v out_o the_o desperate_a path_n of_o treachery_n and_o rebellion_n unto_o they_o because_o as_o the_o poet_n say_v nullum_fw-la caruit_fw-la exemplo_fw-la nefas_fw-la you_o can_v easy_o name_v the_o wickedness_n that_o i_o can_v not_o parallel_v with_o the_o like_a example_n as_o if_o alexander_n and_o holophernes_n be_v drink_v so_o be_v noah_n long_o before_o they_o if_o oedipus_n commit_v incest_n with_o jocasta_n so_o do_v lot_n commit_v incest_n with_o his_o own_o daughter_n and_o if_o polynices_n kill_v his_o own_o brother_n eteocles_n so_o do_v alexander_n caracalla_n kill_v his_o own_o brother_n getha_n romulus_n kill_v remus_n and_o cain_n his_o only_a brother_n abel_n and_o so_o the_o man_n that_o become_v rebel_n and_o traitor_n unto_o their_o king_n and_o murderer_n of_o their_o brethren_n here_o among_o we_o may_v allege_v they_o be_v not_o the_o first_o that_o rebel_v but_o they_o can_v name_v enough_o that_o murder_v their_o oppressor_n which_o they_o only_o intend_v to_o do_v and_o they_o can_v cite_v you_o great_a massacre_n and_o the_o root_n out_o of_o many_o potentate_n that_o lord_v and_o domineer_v over_o the_o poor_a people_n as_o the_o massacre_n in_o france_n the_o cicilian_a vesper_n the_o treachery_n of_o mithridates_n and_o the_o subject_n of_o pontus_n that_o conspire_v together_o to_o destroy_v all_o the_o roman_n that_o be_v disperse_v over_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o pontus_n so_o the_o saxon_n become_v treacherous_a and_o the_o murderer_n of_o all_o the_o british_a lord_n on_o salisburie-plain_a and_o they_o say_v the_o irish_a do_v the_o like_a to_o eradicate_v the_o dave_n out_o of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o they_o have_v do_v no_o more_o unto_o their_o oppressor_n but_o to_o answer_v these_o subtle_a pleader_n for_o the_o defence_n or_o lessen_v of_o their_o sinful_a mischief_n by_o the_o example_n of_o other_o wickedness_n i_o say_v 1._o that_o no_o example_n can_v any_o way_n excuse_v wickedness_n but_o rather_o aggravate_v the_o sin_n that_o the_o sight_n of_o other_o fall_v into_o the_o ditch_n shall_v teach_v we_o to_o beware_v of_o the_o like_a fall_n yea_o though_o we_o shall_v have_v never_o so_o many_o example_n of_o any_o evil-doing_a yet_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o follow_v they_o because_o the_o lord_n tell_v we_o plain_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o follow_v a_o multitude_n to_o do_v evil_a and_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n not_o to_o do_v what_o other_o do_v but_o what_o god_n command_v we_o and_o all_o other_o to_o do_v 2._o i_o say_v that_o herein_o hîc_fw-la hîc_fw-la caruit_fw-la exemplo_fw-la nefas_fw-la those_o two_o fold_n treachery_n and_o rebellion_n 1._o of_o the_o late_a english-scotizing_a rebel_n and_o 2._o of_o the_o bloody_a irish_a murderer_n can_v not_o be_v fit_v with_o any_o precedent_n nor_o parallel_v out_o of_o any_o history_n i_o do_v assure_v you_o that_o i_o have_v read_v as_o many_o english_a greek_a and_o latin_a history_n as_o
