desire_v it_o i_o give_v divers_a reason_n for_o it_o one_o be_v that_o i_o have_v be_v two_o or_o three_o and_o twenty_o week_n upon_o that_o careful_a and_o hazardous_a duty_n and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v but_o reasonable_a now_o to_o have_v some_o relaxation_n and_o that_o some_o other_o shall_v be_v put_v upon_o it_o another_o that_o if_o they_o do_v look_v upon_o the_o king_n safe_a abide_n with_o we_o as_o a_o concernment_n to_o the_o good_a of_o the_o kingdom_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o i_o the_o king_n have_v that_o liberty_n and_o such_o bedchamber_n man_n about_o he_o as_o be_v so_o keep_v he_o one_o of_o they_o be_v colonel_n legg_n once_o governor_n of_o oxford_n under_o the_o king_n the_o other_o though_o they_o be_v gentleman_n of_o honour_n and_o quality_n put_v in_o by_o the_o parliament_n yet_o they_o be_v his_o ancient_a servant_n and_o though_o perhaps_o they_o will_v not_o put_v he_o upon_o any_o design_n of_o go_v away_o yet_o probable_o will_v not_o cross_v he_o nor_o disclose_v any_o therefore_o i_o conceive_v if_o the_o parliament_n do_v expect_v the_o general_n shall_v safeguard_v his_o majesty_n person_n that_o the_o general_n shall_v desire_v leave_n of_o the_o parliament_n to_o put_v such_o bedchamber_n man_n about_o the_o king_n as_o the_o himself_o will_v be_v responsible_a for_o and_o may_v confide_v in_o and_o indeed_o i_o do_v there_o declare_v i_o be_v very_o jealous_a of_o m._n mawle_n the_o three_o reason_n that_o i_o give_v to_o be_v discharge_v be_v this_o shall_v the_o king_n go_v away_o for_o i_o can_v term_v it_o a_o escape_n because_o he_o never_o be_v in_o custody_n as_o a_o prisoner_n i_o shall_v not_o only_o run_v the_o hazard_n of_o lose_v some_o reputation_n myself_o but_o divers_a of_o my_o near_o relate_a friend_n eminent_a officer_n in_o the_o army_n will_v have_v jealousy_n cast_v upon_o they_o be_v by_o some_o already_o suspect_v upon_o less_o ground_n then_o that_o will_v be_v but_o say_v what_o i_o can_v or_o my_o friend_n for_o i_o i_o must_v not_o go_v off_o it_o be_v long_o debate_v and_o by_o all_o conclude_v that_o i_o can_v no_o more_o keep_v the_o king_n if_o he_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o go_v than_o a_o bird_n in_o a_o pound_n yet_o i_o must_v continue_v my_o charge_n but_o true_o i_o conceive_v both_o the_o general_n officer_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a myself_o do_v much_o rely_v upon_o his_o majesty_n engagement_n his_o majesty_n be_v please_v free_o to_o promise_v i_o when_o i_o wait_v upon_o he_o at_o newmarket_n that_o he_o will_v not_o go_v from_o i_o till_o he_o first_o give_v i_o warning_n when_o he_o come_v to_o wooburn_n observe_v my_o guard_n he_o tell_v i_o colonel_n whaley_n your_o guard_n be_v strong_a but_o do_v you_o think_v you_o can_v keep_v i_o if_o i_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o go_v away_o i_o answer_v with_o these_o command_v i_o have_v i_o can_v not_o no_o say_v the_o king_n though_o you_o have_v five_o time_n as_o many_o more_o or_o to_o that_o purpose_n i_o reply_v your_o majesty_n engagement_n be_v a_o great_a force_n upon_o you_o than_o all_o the_o guard_n i_o can_v put_v or_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n his_o majesty_n answer_v his_o engagement_n be_v in_o case_n he_o may_v go_v to_o one_o of_o his_o own_o house_n but_o however_o i_o do_v now_o free_o and_o absolute_o engage_v myself_o to_o you_o that_o i_o will_v not_o stir_v from_o you_o till_o i_o give_v you_o warning_n and_o if_o i_o do_v i_o will_v give_v you_o leave_v to_o say_v i_o be_o a_o infamous_a fellow_n and_o whereas_o mr._n speaker_n you_o do_v demand_v of_o i_o to_o know_v whether_o the_o king_n do_v take_v himself_o off_o from_o his_o engagement_n i_o can_v tell_v you_o not_o otherwise_o then_o thus_o about_o a_o fortnight_n ago_o the_o

before_o he_o treir_v himself_o thither_o about_o five_o of_o the_o clock_n i_o come_v into_o the_o room_n next_o his_o bedchamber_n where_o i_o find_v the_o commissioner_n and_o bed_n chamber_n man_n i_o ask_v they_o for_o the_o king_n they_o tell_v i_o he_o be_v write_v letter_n in_o his_o bedchamber_n i_o wait_v there_o without_o mistrust_n till_o six_o of_o the_o clock_n i_o then_o begin_v to_o

for_o the_o present_a but_o my_o fear_n with_o the_o time_n increase_v so_o that_o when_o it_o be_v seven_o of_o the_o clock_n i_o again_o tell_v mr._n mawle_n i_o exceed_o wonder_v the_o king_n be_v so_o long_o before_o he_o come_v out_o he_o tell_v i_o he_o be_v write_v i_o reply_v posible_o be_v may_v be_v ill_a therefore_o i_o think_v he_o shall_v do_v well_o to_o see_v and_o to_o satisfy_v both_o myself_o and_o the_o house_n that_o be_v in_o fear_n of_o he_o he_o reply_v the_o king_n have_v give_v he_o strict_a command_n not_o to_o molest_v he_o therefore_o dare_v not_o beside_o he_o have_v bolt_v the_o door_n to_o he_o i_o be_v then_o extreme_a restless_a in_o my_o thought_n look_v oft_o in_o at_o the_o keyhole_n to_o see_v whither_o i_o can_v perceive_v his_o majesty_n but_o
