much_o as_o dream_v it_o be_v design_v i_o and_o when_o i_o know_v it_o i_o use_v my_o utmost_a endeavour_n to_o avoid_v it_o my_o ignorance_n of_o the_o king_n intention_n appear_v by_o this_o that_o in_o the_o year_n i_o go_v to_o rome_n return_v out_o of_o the_o country_n according_a to_o my_o usual_a custom_n after_o michaelmas_n i_o find_v a_o protestant_n a_o person_n of_o note_n at_o my_o

not_o only_o command_v by_o the_o king_n but_o know_v his_o royal_a and_o legal_a power_n of_o command_v the_o service_n of_o his_o subject_n and_o most_o particular_o in_o embassy_n as_o appear_v by_o many_o old_a example_n nay_o by_o a_o fatal_a one_o in_o this_o very_a century_n i_o mean_v the_o case_n of_o overbury_n to_o which_o no_o body_n here_o i_o be_o sure_a be_v a_o stranger_n in_o the_o next_o place_n sir_n what_o do_v i_o go_v to_o rome_n for_o why_o only_o with_o a_o letter_n with_o a_o compliment_n from_o a_o profess_a and_o open_a catholic_a king_n to_o his_o holiness_n as_o all_o prince_n of_o that_o communion_n do_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o their_o respective_a reign_n beside_o mr._n speaker_n as_o i_o know_v no_o law_n that_o forbid_v my_o obedience_n so_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v and_o this_o without_o cramp_v or_o put_v any_o bound_n to_o the_o legislative_a power_n that_o no_o such_o law_n can_v be_v make_v for_o sir_n the_o pope_n be_v a_o very_a

or_o can_v be_v enact_v let_v the_o commerce_n or_o intercourse_n between_o nation_n be_v never_o so_o much_o break_v and_o prohibit_v but_o that_o a_o commander_n in_o chief_a a_o general_n and_o much_o more_o a_o king_n may_v beat_v a_o parley_n dispatch_v a_o trumpet_n nay_o send_v and_o receive_v letter_n as_o often_o as_o occasion_n do_v require_v now_o mr._n speaker_n for_o religion_n i_o
