that_o this_o service_n as_o i_o conceive_v do_v require_v it_o at_o least_o that_o some_o governor_n if_o i_o be_v not_o think_v worthy_a of_o it_o shall_v be_v present_o send_v into_o that_o

that_o time_n i_o do_v not_o fail_v to_o beseech_v his_o majesty_n to_o send_v i_o away_o upon_o every_o opportunity_n i_o have_v of_o speak_v to_o he_o and_o i_o think_v there_o pass_v not_o a_o

all_o the_o king_n say_v my_o instruction_n shall_v be_v draw_v and_o that_o he_o will_v give_v order_n to_o master_n secretary_n nicholas_n to_o do_v it_o as_o speedy_o as_o he_o can_v in_o

have_v my_o expedition_n i_o obey_v his_o maj._n and_o come_v after_o he_o to_o this_o town_n where_o i_o have_v attend_v ever_o since_o perpetual_o solicit_v to_o be_v dispatch_v and_o beseech_v his_o majesty_n that_o i_o may_v either_o go_v to_o my_o employment_n or_o have_v his_o leave_n to_o retire_v myself_o to_o my_o own_o house_n and_o private_a condition_n that_o if_o he_o be_v unwilling_a to_o trust_v i_o in_o a_o employment_n of_o so_o great_a importance_n i_o do_v beseech_v he_o that_o i_o may_v be_v no_o burden_n to_o his_o thought_n and_o that_o he_o will_v be_v so_o gracious_a as_o to_o let_v i_o know_v his_o resolution_n for_o i_o conceive_v myself_o to_o be_v under_o a_o heavy_a censure_n both_o of_o the_o parliament_n and_o of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n whilst_o possible_o they_o may_v think_v it_o my_o fault_n that_o i_o be_v so_o long_o absent_a from_o that_o charge_n which_o i_o have_v undertake_v it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o tell_v you_o every_o passage_n but_o this_o i_o profess_v to_o your_o lordship_n that_o if_o it_o bid_v be_v to_o save_v the_o life_n of_o all_o my_o friend_n and_o of_o myself_o i_o can_v not_o have_v do_v more_o for_o my_o dispatch_n nevertheless_o i_o have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o advance_v it_o one_o step_n nor_o have_v i_o see_v any_o token_n to_o make_v i_o hope_n to_o have_v it_o quick_o till_o this_o morning_n when_o master_n secretary_n nicholas_n give_v i_o a_o draught_n of_o my_o instruction_n to_o peruse_v and_o so_o i_o hope_v that_o between_o this_o and_o monday_n i_o shall_v have_v do_v that_o part_n and_o i_o will_v do_v the_o best_a i_o can_v in_o procure_v some_o other_o thing_n without_o which_o i_o know_v not_o how_o i_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o do_v any_o acceptable_a service_n in_o that_o kingdom_n your_o lordship_n know_v i_o be_o a_o servant_n and_o i_o can_v not_o run_v away_o if_o i_o will_v or_o at_o least_o it_o have_v be_v to_o little_a purpose_n though_o i_o shall_v have_v adventure_v to_o do_v so_o undecent_a and_o so_o undutiful_a a_o action_n therefore_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v be_v believe_v that_o i_o have_v not_o be_v too_o blame_n now_o with_o your_o lordship_n leave_n i_o shall_v trouble_v you_o with_o another_o particular_a wherein_o perhaps_o i_o suffer_v in_o the_o opinion_n of_o they_o that_o know_v not_o what_o have_v pass_v though_o i_o be_v as_o innocent_a as_o a_o new_a bear_v child_n ●●y_v i_o have_v oppose_v it_o as_o much_o as_o i_o have_v power_n to_o do_v so_o the_o king_n be_v inform_v at_o york_n by_o some_o officious_a person_n that_o there_o be_v certain_a draught_n horse_n provide_v to_o be_v send_v into_o jreland_n his_o majesty_n tell_v i_o that_o he_o must_v needs_o have_v they_o for_o his_o own_o use_n i_o do_v humble_o beseech_v he_o not_o to_o take_v they_o away_o from_o his_o own_o service_n in_o jreland_n for_o which_o they_o be_v buy_v and_o in_o which_o they_o be_v to_o be_v impoly_v and_o beside_o what_o i_o say_v myself_o i_o make_v mean_n by_o other_o to_o save_v the_o horse_n so_o as_o i_o hear_v no_o more_o of_o it_o till_o i_o come_v hither_o but_o then_o his_o majesty_n tell_v i_o again_o that_o he_o must_v needs_o have_v those_o horse_n and_o will_v have_v i_o send_v for_o they_o i_o represent_v to_o his_o majesty_n the_o inconsiderablenesse_n of_o those_o few_o horse_n and_o that_o the_o parliament_n may_v take_v it_o very_o ill_a in_o regard_n that_o the_o horse_n be_v buy_v with_o their_o money_n for_o the_o service_n of_o the_o poor_a kingdom_n of_o ireland_n therefore_o i_o do_v beseech_v he_o not_o to_o take_v they_o or_o however_o that_o he_o will_v secure_v i_o from_o be_v a_o instrument_n in_o that_o which_o i_o conceive_v will_v much_o hurt_v his_o affair_n and_o that_o i_o be_v trust_v by_o the_o parliament_n i_o can_v neither_o do_v it_o myself_o nor_o consent_n that_o any_o other_o shall_v do_v that_o which_o be_v a_o breach_n of_o trust_n and_o a_o great_a diservice_n even_o to_o his_o majesty_n himself_o notwithstanding_o this_o the_o king_n send_v unto_o i_o by_o master_n endymion_n porter_n and_o sir_n george_n hay_o at_o several_a time_n to_o the_o like_a purpose_n but_o i_o return_v the_o same_o answer_n add_v this_o also_o that_o i_o can_v not_o do_v it_o and_o be_v a_o honest_a man_n to_o his_o service_n though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o king_n say_v he_o will_v restore_v the_o horse_n or_o pay_v for_o they_o but_o for_o all_o this_o it_o please_v his_o majesty_n to_o employ_v one_o erington_n that_o serve_v i_o and_o give_v he_o a_o warrant_n to_o fetch_v the_o horse_n erington_n tell_v i_o of_o it_o i_o forbid_v he_o as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v to_o do_v it_o and_o tell_v he_o that_o if_o he_o do_v it_o he_o must_v not_o look_v to_o have_v any_o thing_n more_o to_o do_v with_o i_o for_o ever_o and_o further_o that_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o the_o parliament_n will_v hang_v he_o for_o steal_v their_o horse_n this_o and_o more_o i_o say_v to_o erington_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o james_n battiere_n my_o secretary_n who_o will_v witness_v it_o &_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v a_o unjust_a thing_n in_o itself_o displease_v to_o the_o parliament_n and_o hurtful_a to_o the_o king_n service_n i_o protest_v against_o it_o though_o erington_n say_v his_o master_n have_v command_v he_o upon_o his_o allegiance_n to_o execute_v the_o warrant_n but_o indeed_o i_o tell_v he_o that_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v he_o nor_o can_v think_v that_o his_o majesty_n will_v command_v a_o subject_a upon_o his_o allegiance_n to_o take_v away_o other_o man_n horse_n this_o i_o think_v sufficient_a but_o it_o seem_v i_o be_v deceive_v for_o erington_n without_o my_o consent_n or_o knowledge_n go_v from_o
