all_o my_o heart_n lord_n say_v mr._n rookwood_n what_o need_v you_o make_v these_o scruple_n here_o be_v nothing_o require_v of_o you_o but_o to_o come_v over_o yes_o sir_n reply_v i_o here_o be_v a_o expectation_n annex_v which_o i_o be_o utter_o incapable_a of_o satisfy_v the_o short_a be_v say_v the_o secretary_n will_v you_o obey_v the_o king_n or_o no_o i_o reply_v the_o king_n be_v my_o sovereign_n and_o i_o ought_v to_o obey_v he_o and_o though_o i_o see_v plain_o there_o be_v a_o trick_n put_v upon_o i_o and_o i_o fear_v a_o plot_n against_o my_o life_n yet_o i_o trust_v that_o god_n providence_n will_v instruct_v my_o prudence_n how_o to_o avoid_v the_o snare_n then_o i_o begin_v to_o make_v a_o deep_a protestation_n before_o they_o both_o that_o i_o never_o know_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o plot_n which_o i_o repeat_v with_o much_o vehemency_n before_o that_o very_a courteous_a and_o civil_a gentleman_n mr._n henry_n sidny_n at_o that_o time_n his_o majesty_n extraordinary_a envoy_n at_o the_o hague_n who_o order_v i_o to_o return_v to_o amsterdam_n to_o compose_v my_o little_a affair_n and_o dine_v with_o he_o on_o tuesday_n after_o and_o so_o go_v over_o in_o the_o pacquet-boat_n on_o wednesday_n i_o come_v as_o be_v order_v and_o find_v mr._n rook●wood_n at_o the_o envoy_n who_o begin_v to_o discourse_v i_o apart_o bid_v i_o fear_v nothing_o for_o i_o have_v great_a friend_n in_o england_n than_o i_o be_v aware_a of_o who_o be_v able_a to_o protect_v i_o against_o the_o king_n himself_o he_o tell_v i_o how_o my_o lord_n shaftsbury_n have_v write_v two_o letter_n hither_o much_o in_o my_o commendation_n and_o that_o if_o i_o will_v come_v over_o and_o as_o we_o be_v to_o suppose_v be_v rule_v by_o he_o i_o shall_v neither_o want_v security_n nor_o money_n nor_o honour_n he_o add_v that_o i_o can_v not_o but_o know_v something_o of_o the_o duke_n of_o york_n that_o if_o i_o do_v but_o witness_v it_o there_o be_v ten_o thousand_o

have_v wit_n enough_o to_o know_v my_o own_o interest_n these_o discourse_n make_v i_o plain_o see_v the_o devilish_a trap_n that_o be_v lay_v for_o i_o wherefore_o i_o then_o resolve_v to_o decline_v go_v if_o it_o may_v stand_v with_o my_o duty_n and_o honour_n and_o if_o i_o do_v go_v to_o acquaint_v his_o majesty_n with_o the_o intrigue_n i_o shall_v also_o by_o this_o have_v begin_v to_o

over_o nor_o have_v any_o correspondent_o at_o all_o in_o england_n but_o that_o my_o lord_n shall_z his_o letter_n come_v to_o another_o person_n at_o the_o hague_n who_o upon_o occasion_n show_v they_o to_o he_o every_o tittle_n of_o which_o be_v false_a as_o soon_o as_o dinner_n be_v do_v mr._n sidney_n take_v i_o aside_o and_o tell_v i_o he_o wonder_v i_o will_v thus_o resolute_o deny_v any_o knowledge_n of_o the_o plot_n assure_v i_o that_o he_o have_v of_o late_a certain_a intelligence_n out_o of_o england_n that_o it_o be_v expect_v there_o i_o shall_v make_v very_o great_a discovery_n of_o it_o hereupon_o i_o begin_v to_o reiterate_v my_o former_a protestation_n to_o the_o contrary_a with_o that_o earnestness_n that_o he_o come_v back_o and_o tell_v the_o company_n he_o see_v not_o to_o what_o purpose_v it_o be_v to_o send_v i_o since_o he_o be_v confident_a i_o will_v say_v the_o same_o before_o the_o council_n in_o england_n that_o i_o say_v here_o and_o i_o on_o

of_o my_o lodging_n at_o amsterdam_n which_o i_o have_v not_o yet_o put_v off_o and_o my_o faithful_a promise_n that_o i_o will_v come_v if_o his_o majesty_n shall_v yet_o send_v for_o i_o so_o i_o set_v myself_o to_o return_v mr._n rookwood_n follow_v i_o exclaim_v high_o against_o mr._n sidney_n for_o stop_v one_o that_o the_o king_n and_o council_n have_v send_v for_o and_o threaten_v that_o perhaps_o when_o he_o come_v into_o england_n he_o may_v be_v make_v short_a by_o the_o head_n for_o it_o the_o reason_n of_o which_o mighty_a huff_n i_o can_v not_o comprehend_v till_o college_n
