i_o conceive_v it_o be_v of_o very_o little_a moment_n in_o your_o lordship_n judgement_n my_o lord_n these_o be_v as_o near_o as_o i_o can_v gather_v all_o that_o be_v charge_v as_o unto_o word_n

therefore_o not_o responsible_a for_o any_o judgement_n give_v against_o his_o lordship_n i_o give_v no_o vote_n and_o so_o consequent_o be_o not_o to_o answer_v for_o any_o gild_n if_o there_o be_v any_o which_o under_o favour_n i_o conceive_v since_o all_o martial_a law_n be_v adjudge_v to_o be_v against_o the_o law_n i_o may_v be_v of_o another_o opinion_n but_o former_o conceive_v that_o that_o may_v have_v stand_v with_o the_o law_n i_o may_v say_v something_o more_o for_o the_o justification_n of_o it_o than_o now_o i_o do_v but_o hour_n i_o be_v no_o party_n they_o say_v he_o be_v a_o peer_n and_o it_o be_v very_o true_a but_o as_o he_o be_v a_o peer_n so_o he_o be_v a_o captain_n of_o the_o army_n and_o in_o this_o case_n we_o consider_v man_n as_o member_n of_o the_o army_n not_o as_o peer_n and_o if_o a_o peer_n will_v not_o submit_v himself_o to_o a_o officer_n of_o the_o army_n he_o must_v submit_v himself_o to_o the_o order_n of_o the_o army_n beside_o i_o say_v it_o be_v intend_v only_o as_o a_o discipline_n to_o he_o the_o better_a to_o remember_v he_o to_o govern_v his_o tongue_n afterward_o towards_o other_o man_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o

that_o two_o or_o three_o day_n after_o we_o write_v to_o the_o king_n and_o obtain_v his_o pardon_n so_o that_o i_o conceive_v the_o inconvenience_n be_v not_o very_o great_a to_o he_o nor_o the_o proceed_n such_o as_o shall_v make_v it_o unpardonable_a or_o criminal_a in_o they_o that_o give_v sentence_n upon_o he_o whereof_o i_o be_v none_o for_o that_o other_o concern_v denwitt_n your_o
