first_o that_o i_o have_v never_o any_o intention_n of_o bring_v over_o the_o irish_a army_n into_o england_n nor_o ever_o be_v advise_v by_o any_o body_n so_o to_o do_v second_o that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o debate_n before_o i_o either_o in_o public_a council_n or_o private_a committee_n of_o the_o disloyalty_n of_o my_o english_a subject_n nor_o ever_o have_v i_o any_o suspicion_n of_o

this_o i_o think_v no_o body_n dare_v ever_o be_v so_o impudent_a as_o to_o move_v i_o to_o it_o for_o if_o they_o have_v i_o shall_v have_v make_v they_o such_o a_o example_n and_o put_v such_o a_o

understand_v for_o though_o i_o tell_v you_o in_o my_o conscience_n i_o can_v condemn_v he_o of_o high_a treason_n yet_o can_v i_o clear_v he_o of_o misdemeanour_n therefore_o i_o hope_v you_o may_v find_v out_o a_o way_n to_o satisfy_v justice_n and_o your_o own_o fear_n and_o not_o oppress_v my_o conscience_n my_o lord_n i_o hope_v you_o know_v what_o a_o tender_a conscience_n be_v and_o i_o must_v declare_v unto_o you_o that_o to_o satisfy_v my_o people_n i_o will_v do_v great_a matter_n but_o in_o this_o of_o conscience_n neither_o fear_n nor_o any_o other_o respect_n whatsoever_o

therefore_o i_o can_v suspect_v you_o will_v go_v about_o it_o nay_o i_o must_v confess_v for_o misdemeanour_n i_o be_o so_o clear_a in_o they_o that_o though_o i_o will_v not_o chalk_v out_o the_o way_n yet_o i_o will_v show_v you_o that_o i_o think_v my_o lord_n of_o strafford_n be_v not_o fit_a hereafter_o to_o serve_v i_o or_o the_o commonwealth_n in_o any_o place_n of_o trust_n no_o not_o

other_o and_o that_o positive_o in_o his_o conscience_n he_o can_v condemn_v he_o of_o high_a treason_n but_o can_v not_o clear_v he_o of_o misdemeanour_n and_o he_o hope_v that_o they_o may_v find_v
