not_o to_o be_v lenify_v or_o ease_v at_o all_o but_o end_v by_o death_n but_o to_o the_o sufficient_a fatisfaction_n of_o myself_o and_o your_o worship_n and_o all_o man_n and_o not_o to_o speak_v according_a to_o the_o sentence_n and_o conscience_n of_o other_o i_o have_v use_v all_o diligence_n to_o get_v into_o my_o hand_n the_o write_a process_n concern_v the_o conspirator_n in_o amboyna_n which_o i_o obtain_v authentical_o and_o read_v careful_o and_o i_o find_v that_o all_o that_o be_v by_o i_o abovesaid_a be_v confirm_v to_o wit_n that_o the_o japonian_a complice_n be_v examine_v and_o make_v their_o confession_n as_o aforesaid_a for_o three_o day_n viz._n the_o 23_o 24_o 25._o of_o february_n 1623._o and_o that_o all_o this_o be_v do_v and_o consummate_v before_o then_o at_o

all_o that_o the_o say_a punishment_n there_o deserve_v must_v be_v execute_v in_o the_o same_o place_n for_o example_n and_o that_o it_o can_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a be_v delay_v without_o extreme_a danger_n for_o reason_n there_o relate_v and_o among_o other_o '_o because_o the_o tarnatane_n and_o indian_n about_o amboyna_n have_v otherwise_o than_o they_o be_v wont_a rebel_v neither_o can_v it_o be_v full_o know_v what_o great_a confederacy_n these_o conspirator_n have_v make_v with_o they_o and_o other_o and_o touch_v any_o extraordinary_a and_o cruel_a torture_n i_o have_v accurat_o over-looked_n every_v one_o confession_n but_o i_o find_v not_o one_o word_n in_o any_o one_o which_o make_v any_o mention_n of_o such_o torture_n as_o be_v unjust_o speak_v of_o in_o england_n nay_o scarce_o find_v any_o mention_n of_o that_o ordinary_a torture_n which_o be_v in_o use_n save_v only_o these_o word_n in_o one_o act_n of_o the_o 25_o february_n 1623._o viz._n the_o council_n be_v

before_o any_o torture_n other_o after_o a_o little_a or_o rather_o a_o touch_n of_o it_o confess_v as_o follow_v unto_o which_o follow_v present_o the_o particular_a confession_n of_o each_o one_o subscribe_v with_o his_o own_o hand_n as_o aforesaid_a so_o that_o hence_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o no_o extraordinary_a torture_n be_v use_v in_o such_o manner_n as_o be_v give_v out_o there_o by_o those_o that_o wish_v we_o evil_n nay_o that_o those_o few_o that_o feel_v any_o be_v only_o touch_v not_o punish_v with_o ordinary_a torture_n and_o thus_o your_o worship_n have_v the_o

this_o pretend_a conspiracy_n shall_v be_v take_v for_o true_a yet_o the_o fact_n will_v seem_v very_o poor_a to_o bear_v so_o rigorous_a a_o punishment_n in_o person_n of_o that_o quality_n and_o

the_o pretend_a conspiracy_n and_o apply_v they_o all_o to_o the_o suspicion_n of_o this_o business_n as_o if_o all_o their_o enemy_n be_v likely_a to_o conspire_v with_o the_o english_a and_o therefore_o the_o fact_n under_o colour_n whereof_o they_o be_v condemn_v and_o execute_v be_v possible_a and_o probable_a and_o as_o if_o the_o state_n of_o the_o time_n have_v be_v then_o so_o
