which_o i_o desire_v to_o clear_v and_o to_o resolve_v your_o lordship_n off_o one_o be_v that_o his_o majesty_n have_v be_v inform_v that_o i_o have_v often_o have_v plot_n with_o france_n and_o his_o majesty_n have_v good_a reason_n to_o induce_v he_o thereunto_o one_o reason_n that_o his_o majesty_n have_v to_o conjecture_v so_o be_v that_o when_o i_o come_v back_o from_o guyana_n be_v

be_v the_o reason_n that_o his_o majesty_n have_v as_o i_o be_o inform_v to_o suspect_v i_o but_o this_o i_o say_v for_o a_o man_n to_o call_v god_n to_o witness_v to_o a_o falsehood_n at_o the_o

for_o if_o i_o speak_v not_o true_a o_o lord_n let_v i_o never_o enter_v into_o thy_o kingdom_n the_o second_o suspicion_n be_v that_o his_o majesty_n have_v be_v inform_v that_o i_o shall_v speak_v
