short_a answer_n to_o every_o one_o of_o they_o 1._o for_o religion_n my_o lord_n we_o say_v and_o we_o shall_v prove_v that_o he_o have_v be_v diligent_a indeed_o to_o favour_v innovation_n to_o

of_o hurt_n 2._o for_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o king_n my_o lord_n we_o say_v it_o be_v the_o honour_n of_o the_o king_n that_o he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o his_o people_n that_o he_o be_v the_o

part_n where_o it_o have_v be_v increase_v this_o earl_n have_v take_v the_o great_a share_v himself_o and_o when_o he_o have_v spoil_v and_o ravine_a on_o the_o people_n he_o have_v be_v content_a to_o yield_v up_o some_o part_n to_o the_o king_n that_o he_o may_v with_o more_o security_n enjoy_v the_o rest_n 4._o for_o the_o strength_n and_o honour_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o kingdom_n my_o lord_n in_o a_o time_n of_o peace_n he_o have_v let_v in_o upon_o we_o the_o calamity_n of_o war_n weakness_n shame_n and_o confusion_n 5._o and_o for_o the_o quiet_a of_o the_o subject_n he_o have_v

two_o year_n since_o and_o to_o keep_v it_o for_o his_o own_o occasion_n when_o the_o king_n army_n be_v in_o want_n and_o he_o pay_v it_o in_o but_o late_o and_o before_o i_o pass_v from_o this_o

that_o see_v the_o parliament_n have_v not_o supply_v the_o king_n his_o majesty_n may_v take_v other_o course_n for_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o kingdom_n true_o my_o lord_n under_o favour_n who_o

i_o therefore_o help_v myself_o under_o favour_n i_o conceive_v there_o be_v no_o great_a weight_n nor_o crime_n in_o these_o word_n but_o in_o these_o likewise_o he_o stand_v a_o single_a testimony_n there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o join_v with_o he_o in_o it_o and_o there_o be_v this_o in_o the_o whole_a cause_n concern_v the_o word_n that_o i_o think_v there_o be_v not_o any_o one_o thing_n wherein_o two_o concur_v the_o next_o testimony_n be_v that_o of_o the_o earl_n of_o holland_n and_o he_o say_v that_o at_o the_o council-board_n i_o say_v the_o parliament_n have_v deny_v the_o

of_o the_o king_n can_v only_o walk_v in_o and_o in_o no_o other_o can_v he_o walk_v and_o therefore_o i_o conceive_v they_o be_v far_o from_o bring_v it_o to_o so_o high_a a_o guilt_n as_o treason_n and_o this_o likewise_o his_o lordship_n express_v as_o the_o rest_n do_v single_o on_o his_o own_o word_n as_o he_o conceive_v they_o and_o not_o on_o the_o particular_a word_n of_o any_o other_o
