pass_n of_o this_o bill_n which_o be_v admit_v may_v perhaps_o have_v turn_v the_o scale_n they_o will_v take_v hold_n of_o the_o unjust_a law_n and_o allege_v one_o of_o the_o worst_a of_o canon_n a_o canon_n against_o reason_n and_o most_o repugnant_a to_o the_o best_a of_o god_n property_n which_o though_o they_o be_v all_o equal_a in_o themselves_o fummè_fw-la &_o perfectissimè_fw-la yet_o be_v they_o not_o so_o perceive_v by_o we_o but_o his_o mercy_n be_v over_o all_o his_o work_n but_o you_o will_v say_v be_v this_o man_n so_o just_a that_o he_o be_v unjust_o condemn_v to_o death_n do_v all_o man_n so_o untrue_o complain_v against_o he_o and_o be_v he_o good_a notwithstanding_o all_o the_o evil_a that_o be_v prove_v against_o he_o i_o answer_v that_o i_o dare_v not_o and_o i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o he_o be_v unjust_o adjudge_v to_o death_n or_o that_o the_o bill_n itself_o be_v unjust_a but_o this_o i_o assure_v myself_o that_o he_o be_v a_o very_a wise_a and_o understand_a man_n and_o endue_v with_o may_v rare_a heroic_a virtue_n and_o most_o excellent_a grace_n as_o among_o the_o rest_n virtue_n the_o earle_n virtue_n with_o those_o two_o incomparable_a endowment_n that_o can_v easy_o be_v find_v among_o many_o of_o the_o noble_n of_o this_o world_n 1._o faithfulness_n to_o his_o prince_n to_o who_o as_o i_o conceive_v he_o show_v himself_o a_o true_a servant_n and_o most_o trusty_a in_o his_o great_a employment_n save_v in_o what_o be_v and_o i_o know_v not_o that_o just_o prove_v against_o he_o and_o i_o believe_v he_o will_v never_o have_v take_v arm_n as_o some_o other_o of_o the_o lord_n do_v now_o against_o his_o sovereign_n 2._o love_n unto_o the_o church_n and_o churchman_n to_o who_o though_o other_o think_v it_o their_o glory_n to_o oppress_v they_o and_o a_o virtue_n to_o contemn_v they_o yet_o he_o be_v a_o true_a friend_n a_o most_o noble_a benefactor_n and_o most_o just_a unto_o his_o death_n as_o his_o very_a last_o speech_n unto_o his_o dear_a son_n do_v sufficient_o testify_v unto_o all_o posterity_n which_o speech_n be_v to_o this_o effect_n and_o i_o will_v to_o god_n it_o be_v indelible_o imprint_v in_o the_o memory_n of_o all_o our_o nobility_n that_o as_o he_o regard_v his_o father_n blessing_n or_o expect_v a_o blessing_n from_o god_n upon_o what_o his_o father_n leave_v he_o so_o he_o will_v be_v careful_a never_o to_o take_v away_o or_o in_o any_o wise_a to_o diminish_v any_o part_n or_o parcel_n of_o the_o good_n or_o patrimony_n of_o the_o church_n which_o if_o he_o do_v will_v prove_v a_o canker_n to_o waste_v and_o consume_v all_o that_o he_o have_v yet_o it_o may_v be_v he_o be_v which_o in_o truth_n i_o can_v imagine_v as_o the_o philosopher_n say_v of_o marcus_n antonius_n a_o man_n of_o that_o composition_n that_o his_o vice_n do_v equalise_v if_o not_o exceed_v his_o virtue_n and_o his_o offence_n cloud_v all_o his_o grace_n and_o obscure_v all_o his_o glory_n and_o as_o the_o save_n of_o one_o man_n life_n can_v save_v he_o from_o suffering_n that_o do_v unjust_o put_v another_o man_n to_o death_n so_o the_o rare_a virtue_n can_v justify_v the_o man_n that_o commit_v so_o many_o horrible_a offence_n condemn_v how_o a_o malefactor_n may_v be_v unjust_o condemn_v as_o his_o accuser_n conceive_v this_o man_n do_v to_o which_o it_o may_v be_v well_o reply_v that_o a_o notorious_a malefactor_n though_o i_o apply_v not_o this_o to_o he_o may_v be_v unjust_o condemn_v and_o so_o he_o may_v be_v just_o condemn_v and_o unjust_o execute_v as_o when_o he_o be_v not_o condemn_v for_o the_o fault_n commit_v or_o condemn_v not_o according_a to_o the_o law_n which_o condemn_v that_o fact_n for_o though_o a_o murderer_n deserve_v death_n yet_o any_o one_o may_v not_o present_o be_v the_o death_n of_o that_o murderer_n nor_o the_o judge_n condemn_v he_o for_o robbery_n and_o though_o i_o shall_v commit_v many_o offence_n worthy_a of_o death_n yet_o if_o the_o law_n do_v not_o condemn_v i_o i_o ought_v not_o to_o die_v for_o any_o of_o they_o for_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o be_v no_o sin_n because_o sin_n be_v the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o the_o earl_n of_o strafford_n may_v be_v a_o evil_a man_n and_o do_v many_o thing_n that_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o good_a man_n be_v worthy_a of_o death_n yet_o if_o our_o law_n make_v not_o those_o crime_n capital_a or_o if_o the_o law_n make_v they_o capital_a and_o not_o treason_n we_o ought_v not_o for_o treason_n to_o adjudge_v he_o unto_o death_n so_o in_o sum_n the_o result_n be_v this_o that_o he_o may_v just_o deserve_v death_n and_o yet_o be_v very_o unjust_o condemn_v to_o death_n and_o it_o seem_v to_o some_o of_o his_o friend_n that_o so_o he_o be_v especial_o because_o they_o have_v no_o plain_a unquestionable_a law_n but_o be_v fain_o in_o some_o kind_n to_o make_v a_o law_n to_o take_v off_o his_o head_n and_o when_o
