A61113	A discovrse of divers petitions of high concernment and great consequence delivered by the authour into the hands of King James, of famous memory, and into the hands of our gracious King Charles : and divers other letters delivered unto some great peers of the land and divers knights and ladies and others of great worth and quality : a treatise of melancholie and the strange effects thereof : with some directions for the comforting of poor afflicted soules and wounded consciences : and some directions for the curing and reclaiming surious mad men and some rare inventions in case of great extremity to feed them and preserve them from famishing and to procure them to speak : which it pleased the God of wisdom to enable me to finde out in the long time of fifty years experience and observation / by John Spencer, gentleman.

and_o knight_n of_o the_o parliament_n house_n and_o his_o minister_n of_o great_a worth_n and_o of_o great_a part_n also_o have_v spend_v much_o money_n in_o suit_n of_o law_n in_o the_o high_a commission_n court_n i_o humble_o entreat_v my_o lord_n mandevill_n that_o noble_a peacemaker_n to_o take_v into_o his_o consideration_n they_o be_v his_o near_a neighbour_n who_o take_v great_a pain_n to_o order_v the_o business_n and_o end_v the_o suit_n and_o get_v they_o into_o band_n but_o they_o be_v both_o so_o resolute_a they_o break_v their_o band_n and_o refuse_v the_o order_n and_o procure_v commission_n out_o of_o the_o high_a commission_n court_n to_o examine_v witness_n i_o think_v almost_o a_o fortnight_n together_o to_o their_o great_a charge_n and_o to_o make_v such_o misdemeanour_n appear_v to_o that_o court_n that_o some_o of_o their_o good_a friend_n think_v will_v make_v they_o be_v fine_v a_o thousand_o pound_n at_o the_o least_o the_o commission_n be_v seal_v up_o and_o send_v to_o huntington_n to_o be_v return_v into_o the_o high_a commission_n court_n i_o be_v sorry_a to_o see_v all_o our_o labour_n lose_v and_o hope_n frustrate_a yet_o it_o please_v god_n to_o put_v a_o conceit_n into_o my_o head_n and_o therefore_o i_o consult_v with_o two_o that_o be_v near_o ally_v to_o the_o knight_n of_o the_o parliament_n house_n and_o tell_v they_o we_o must_v make_v a_o end_n either_o with_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o party_n or_o without_o their_o consent_n for_o the_o first_o that_o the_o suit_n be_v impossible_a the_o second_o how_o can_v it_o be_v that_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o so_o we_o fall_v to_o writing_n first_o that_o all_o suit_n in_o law_n shall_v cease_v second_o that_o thus_o much_o the_o knight_n of_o the_o parliament_n shall_v give_v the_o preacher_n for_o rearage_n for_o his_o tithe_n and_o then_o to_o prevent_v suit_n hereafter_o the_o knight_n of_o the_o parliament_n shall_v give_v thus_o much_o a_o year_n for_o composition_n for_o his_o tithe_n when_o we_o have_v do_v i_o tell_v they_o i_o will_v engage_v myself_o to_o be_v bind_v in_o this_o sum_n that_o the_o minister_n shall_v stand_v to_o this_o and_o you_o shall_v do_v the_o like_a to_o i_o that_o the_o knight_n of_o the_o parliament_n shall_v do_v the_o like_a we_o enter_v into_o band_n and_o then_o send_v for_o they_o and_o when_o they_o see_v that_o we_o stand_v engage_v for_o they_o and_o it_o be_v not_o their_o act_n they_o consent_v to_o that_o end_n and_o enter_v into_o five_o hundred_o pound_n bond_n a_o piece_n to_o stand_v to_o that_o end_n thus_o it_o please_v god_n to_o take_v off_o this_o tedious_a and_o dangerous_a business_n the_o other_o concern_v myself_o in_o my_o old_a age_n a_o gentleman_n have_v make_v a_o scandalous_a report_n of_o i_o that_o i_o shall_v send_v a_o cart_n upon_o the_o sabbath-day_n to_o remove_v certain_a good_n which_o be_v very_o false_a yet_o he_o make_v report_n of_o it_o to_o a_o noble_a friend_n of_o i_o which_o answer_v very_o much_o for_o i_o and_o will_v not_o believe_v it_o use_v many_o mean_n to_o vindicate_v my_o reputation_n but_o he_o will_v not_o be_v satisfy_v but_o give_v credit_n to_o the_o report_n of_o some_o lewd_a malicious_a companion_n so_o in_o the_o end_n i_o grow_v so_o foolish_a that_o i_o send_v he_o a_o challenge_n and_o send_v my_o man_n with_o it_o to_o meet_v i_o the_o next_o day_n by_o eight_o of_o the_o clock_n in_o the_o morning_n upon_o such_o a_o common_a betwixt_o two_o wood_n to_o meet_v single_a and_o with_o single_a sword_n i_o come_v to_o the_o place_n at_o the_o time_n appoint_v and_o beat_v the_o air_n but_o he_o come_v not_o i_o ride_v to_o his_o gate_n to_o call_v he_o but_o he_o return_v his_o answer_n in_o a_o kind_a letter_n to_o i_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o he_o have_v do_v i_o wrong_n to_o give_v credit_n to_o the_o report_n of_o such_o lie_v and_o malicious_a knave_n and_o that_o he_o will_v satisfy_v my_o noble_a friend_n how_o much_o i_o be_v wrong_v to_o this_o effect_n and_o afterwards_o we_o continue_v very_o love_a friend_n during_o his_o life_n this_o i_o do_v relate_v but_o will_v have_v no_o man_n follow_v this_o example_n except_o they_o will_v do_v and_o so_o i_o hope_v we_o shall_v have_v do_v as_o two_o knight_n in_o king_n henry_n the_o eight_o time_n as_o i_o take_v it_o that_o the_o one_o be_v sir_n john_n st._n john_n and_o the_o other_o sir_n henry_n cromwell_n two_o valiant_a knight_n and_o brave_a soldier_n and_o contend_v for_o a_o piece_n of_o ground_n and_o spend_v more_o money_n in_o law_n then_o they_o be_v willing_a and_o see_v it_o be_v unfit_a for_o soldier_n to_o follow_v suit_n in_o law_n they_o resolve_v to_o determine_v it_o with_o their_o sword_n and_o appoint_v a_o day_n to_o meet_v upon_o that_o ground_n and_o there_o meet_v but_o consider_v better_a of_o it_o that_o their_o valour_n be_v well_o know_v and_o what_o a_o vain_a thing_n it_o be_v for_o they_o to_o adventure_v their_o life_n upon_o such_o a_o quarrel_n whereupon_o they_o grow_v to_o make_v offer_v each_o to_o other_o of_o the_o ground_n and_o content_v who_o shall_v give_v or_o take_v it_o a_o vain_a example_n of_o two_o so_o noble_a and_o valiant_a knight_n but_o i_o will_v now_o advise_v all_o man_n to_o take_v heed_n they_o be_v not_o put_v to_o that_o adventure_n for_o man_n to_o meet_v in_o the_o field_n the_o devil_n will_v put_v these_o conceit_n into_o their_o mind_n that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o your_o honour_n to_o appoint_v the_o field_n and_o not_o to_o fight_v and_o if_o they_o fight_v than_o it_o will_v be_v their_o dishonour_n to_o give_v over_o with_o this_o disadvantage_n thy_o enemy_n have_v give_v thou_o more_o wound_n than_o thou_o have_v do_v he_o and_o so_o will_v urge_v they_o to_o fight_v still_o until_o either_o one_o or_o both_o be_v slay_v as_o be_v see_v in_o the_o ever_o to_o be_v lament_v example_n of_o sir_n george_n wharton_n and_o sir_n james_n steward_n that_o stand_v upon_o term_n of_o honour_n and_o be_v both_o slay_v in_o the_o field_n a_o copy_n of_o a_o letter_n to_o my_o cousin_n m._n bully_n a_o grave_a
