abuse_v of_o the_o sword_n of_o justice_n without_o the_o use_n of_o any_o other_o on_o the_o prince_n part_n if_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o of_o the_o religion_n profess_v in_o it_o bound_v the_o people_n from_o draw_v their_o sword_n in_o maintenance_n of_o their_o liberty_n and_o shall_v their_o obedience_n to_o god_n and_o the_o king_n and_o their_o law_n leave_v they_o without_o hope_n or_o mean_n of_o redress_n by_o the_o same_o law_n or_o what_o sufficient_a redress_n and_o reparation_n can_v be_v make_v then_o if_o the_o result_n of_o a_o hundred_o such_o wicked_a judgement_n and_o counsel_n shall_v be_v only_o a_o great_a misdemeanour_n and_o a_o hundred_o misdemeanour_n can_v make_v a_o felony_n nor_o a_o hundred_o felony_n amount_v to_o a_o treason_n according_a to_o the_o lord_n strafford_n position_n maintain_v public_o at_o his_o trial_n i_o wish_v the_o lord_n digby_n have_v long_o ruminate_v upon_o his_o ill_n digest_v judgement_n in_o this_o point_n before_o he_o put_v it_o over_o for_o good_a i_o proceed_v to_o the_o next_o word_n they_o be_v and_o this_o design_n of_o force_n not_o appear_v all_o his_o other_o wicked_a practice_n can_v amount_v so_o high_a with_o i_o wherein_o if_o by_o this_o design_n his_o lordship_n mean_v the_o particular_a design_n of_o bring_v the_o irish_a army_n into_o england_n then_o be_v the_o consequence_n most_o inconsequent_a for_o sure_o if_o the_o lord_n strafford_n have_v not_o he_o may_v have_v have_v some_o other_o design_n upon_o this_o kingdom_n that_o will_v have_v amount_v to_o hight_a treason_n in_o the_o lord_n digby_n eye_n or_o if_o by_o this_o design_n his_o lordship_n intend_v general_o the_o design_n of_o use_v force_n then_o sure_o it_o be_v make_v plain_a enough_o to_o his_o lordship_n at_o the_o trial_n that_o the_o lord_n strafford_n do_v more_o than_o design_v the_o use_n of_o force_n to_o the_o subversion_n of_o more_o than_o one_o of_o the_o fundamental_a law_n of_o england_n and_o ireland_n have_v actual_o levy_v war_n upon_o the_o king_n liege_n people_n to_o constrain_v obedience_n to_o his_o illegal_a summons_n and_o order_n upon_o paper-petition_n and_o to_o raise_v money_n upon_o they_o against_o their_o will_n but_o his_o lordship_n say_v he_o can_v find_v a_o more_o natural_a spring_n from_o whence_o to_o derive_v those_o and_o all_o his_o other_o crime_n then_o from_o a_o intention_n to_o bring_v in_o tyranny_n and_o to_o make_v his_o own_o posterity_n as_o well_o as_o we_o slave_n as_o from_o revenge_n from_o pride_n from_o avarice_n from_o passion_n from_o insolence_n of_o nature_n be_v it_o possible_a that_o so_o sharp_a a_o wit_n as_o the_o lord_n digbye_n that_o can_v so_o quick_o espy_v the_o mishap_n of_o any_o argument_n bring_v forth_o against_o the_o lord_n strafford_n shall_v not_o see_v this_o misconception_n of_o his_o own_o in_o his_o excuse_n shall_v no_o man_n be_v a_o traitor_n that_o can_v find_v another_o more_o natural_a spring_n from_o whence_o to_o derive_v his_o treasonable_a design_n and_o action_n then_o from_o a_o intent_n to_o commit_v treason_n then_o the_o lord_n strafford_n will_v not_o have_v be_v a_o traitor_n with_o the_o lord_n digby_n though_o he_o have_v bring_v the_o irish_a army_n into_o england_n if_o that_o action_n have_v original_o flow_v from_o one_o of_o the_o foresay_a spring_n as_o i_o believe_v it_o will_v have_v do_v then_o his_o lordship_n may_v absolve_v many_o and_o i_o be_o sure_a will_v one_o of_o the_o gunpowder_n traitor_n who_o son_n have_v find_v so_o much_o princely_a compassion_n and_o favour_n from_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o king_n his_o father_n upon_o i_o believe_v a_o wellgrounded_n opinion_n that_o the_o father_n design_n to_o have_v destroy_v the_o king_n his_o master_n proceed_v not_o from_o any_o malicious_a mind_n to_o his_o sacred_a person_n but_o be_v derive_v from_o his_o zeal_n to_o his_o religion_n a_o pure_a spring_n than_o any_o of_o those_o his_o lordship_n have_v find_v out_o to_o wash_v the_o lord_n strafford_n which_o certain_o have_v be_v the_o spring_n of_o all_o the_o foul_a treason_n in_o the_o world_n and_o as_o for_o the_o lord_n strafford_n respect_n to_o his_o posterity_n since_o the_o lord_n digby_n know_v no_o man_n better_a that_o we_o be_v all_o deceive_v with_o a_o show_n of_o good_a in_o every_o sin_n we_o be_v draw_v into_o by_o he_o who_o he_o think_v give_v the_o lord_n strafford_n the_o application_n of_o his_o rare_a ability_n and_o that_o not_o only_o many_o minister_n of_o state_n be_v easy_o engage_v to_o be_v instrument_n of_o overthrow_v the_o commonwealth_n and_o glory_n of_o kingdom_n so_o they_o may_v advance_v themselves_o and_o their_o family_n to_o riches_n and_o honour_n because_o that_o in_o so_o do_v they_o imagine_v they_o get_v more_o in_o their_o private_a fortune_n than_o they_o lose_v in_o their_o part_n of_o the_o public_a but_o even_o the_o wise_a prince_n themselves_o have_v by_o this_o deceit_n be_v draw_v into_o the_o same_o error_n as_o philip_n the_o second_o of_o spain_n and_o lewis_n the_o eleven_o of_o france_n for_o a_o error_n it_o be_v in_o they_o and_o may_v be_v demonstrate_v to_o have_v be_v so_o as_o far_o as_o politic_a matter_n be_v capable_a of_o demonstration_n nay_o since_o the_o lord_n digby_n avow_v that_o the_o

fall_v from_o they_o to_o practice_n as_o high_a as_o tyrannical_a as_o any_o subject_n ever_o venture_v on_o and_o such_o as_o make_v he_o the_o most_o dangerous_a minister_n the_o most_o insupportable_a to_o free_a subject_n that_o can_v be_v character_v i_o know_v not_o why_o his_o lordship_n shall_v esteem_v it_o so_o sure_a a_o preservative_n against_o the_o treason_n he_o have_v suffer_v for_o i_o have_v almost_o say_v just_o and_o so_o do_v his_o lordship_n for_o he_o do_v not_o say_v but_o the_o lord_n strafford_n be_v worthy_a to_o die_v and_o perhaps_o worthy_a than_o many_o a_o traitor_n he_o do_v not_o say_v but_o his_o word_n counsel_n and_o action_n have_v be_v prove_v to_o be_v such_o as_o may_v direct_v the_o king_n and_o parliament_n to_o enact_v that_o the_o like_a shall_v be_v treason_n for_o the_o future_a but_o only_o pray_v god_n to_o keep_v he_o from_o give_v judgement_n of_o death_n on_o any_o man_n or_o of_o ruin_n to_o his_o innocent_a

that_o i_o shall_v now_o hope_v to_o do_v by_o show_v he_o a_o fallacy_n in_o the_o second_o and_o last_o ground_n of_o his_o argument_n the_o fallacy_n lie_v in_o this_o that_o his_o lordship_n do_v
