the_o house_n of_o commons_o return_v a_o answer_n that_o whereas_o they_o have_v impeach_v 13_o bishop_n whereof_o one_o of_o they_o have_v plead_v not_o guilty_a and_o the_o rest_n have_v neither_o

therefore_o i_o hope_v that_o you_o may_v find_v a_o way_n for_o to_o satisfy_v justice_n and_o your_o own_o fear_n and_o not_o to_o press_v upon_o my_o conscience_n my_o lord_n i_o hope_v you_o

no_o fear_n no_o respect_n whatsoever_o shall_v ever_o make_v i_o go_v against_o it_o certain_o i_o have_v not_o so_o ill_o deserve_v of_o the_o parliament_n at_o this_o time_n that_o they_o shall_v press_v i_o in_o this_o tender_a point_n and_o therefore_o i_o can_v expect_v that_o you_o will_v go_v about_o it_o nay_o i_o must_v confess_v for_o matter_n of_o misdemeanour_n i_o be_o so_o clear_a in_o that_o that_o though_o i_o will_v not_o chalk_v out_o the_o way_n yet_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o that_o i_o do_v think_v my_o lord_n of_o strafford_n be_v not_o fit_a hereafter_o to_o serve_v i_o
