you_o know_v that_o the_o gentleman_n and_o prisoner_n have_v prefer_v to_o the_o king_n and_o council_n of_o war_n a_o petition_n and_o article_n against_o this_o smith_n and_o no_o hear_n can_v be_v obtain_v therefore_o it_o be_v desire_v you_o will_v be_v please_v to_o move_v the_o parliament_n and_o in_o particular_a my_o lord_n brook_n that_o they_o will_v write_v to_o the_o earl_n of_o

no_o question_n be_v make_v but_o the_o king_n will_v see_v how_o base_o he_o be_v abuse_v by_o those_o who_o say_v they_o be_v his_o best_a subject_n one_o thing_n more_o of_o special_a note_n be_v that_o the_o gentleman_n of_o this_o house_n take_v pity_n of_o we_o poor_a distress_a man_n that_o want_v both_o money_n and_o food_n do_v liberal_o contribute_v to_o our_o relief_n and_o make_v one_o master_n kinss_o a_o lieutenant_n of_o horse_n to_o be_v steward_n of_o it_o to_o see_v it_o dispose_v of_o the_o which_o if_o they_o have_v not_o down_o i_o be_o confident_a half_n of_o we_o have_v be_v dead_a ere_o this_o with_o hunger_n one_o be_v starve_v to_o death_n another_o which_o be_v wound_v by_o smith_n the_o chirurgeon_n not_o permit_v to_o come_v to_o dress_v he_o die_v also_o for_o want_n of_o look_v to_o another_o die_v and_o another_o be_v like_a to_o die_v and_o all_o with_o ill_a usage_n and_o now_o smith_n will_v not_o let_v the_o money_n be_v give_v to_o they_o but_o have_v give_v strict_a command_n to_o the_o contrary_a and_o have_v charge_v his_o servant_n to_o see_v that_o it_o be_v so_o observe_v as_o he_o have_v command_v the_o chirurgeon_n be_v
