this_o a_o kind_n of_o sickness_n of_o my_o lord_n cooke_n that_o come_v almost_o in_o as_o ill_a a_o time_n as_o the_o sickness_n of_o my_o lord_n chancellor_n and_o as_o i_o think_v it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o wise_a part_n that_o ever_o he_o play_v when_o he_o go_v down_o to_o your_o majesty_n to_o royston_n and_o desire_v to_o have_v my_o lord_n chancellor_n join_v with_o he_o so_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o weak_a part_n that_o ever_o he_o play_v to_o make_v all_o the_o world_n perceive_v that_o my_o lord_n chancellor_n be_v sever_v from_o he_o at_o this_o time_n but_o for_o that_o which_o may_v concern_v your_o service_n which_o be_v my_o end_n leave_v other_o man_n to_o their_o own_o way_n first_o my_o opinion_n be_v plain_o that_o my_o lord_n cook_n at_o this_o time_n be_v not_o to_o be_v disgrace_v both_o because_o he_o be_v so_o well_o habituate_v for_o that_o which_o remain_v of_o these_o capital_a cause_n and_o also_o for_o that_o which_o i_o find_v be_v in_o his_o breast_n touch_v your_o finance_n and_o matter_n of_o repair_n of_o your_o estate_n and_o if_o i_o may_v speak_v it_o as_o i_o think_v it_o be_v good_a his_o hope_n be_v at_o a_o end_n in_o some_o kind_n so_o i_o can_v wish_v they_o be_v raise_v in_o some_o other_o on_o the_o other_o side_n this_o great_a and_o public_a affront_n not_o only_o to_o the_o reverend_n and_o well-deserving_a person_n of_o your_o chancellor_n and_o at_o a_o time_n when_o he_o be_v think_v to_o lie_v a_o die_a which_o be_v barbarous_a but_o to_o your_o high-court_n of_o chancery_n which_o be_v the_o court_n of_o your_o absolute_a power_n may_v not_o in_o my_o opinion_n pass_v light_o nor_o end_v only_o in_o some_o formal_a atonement_n but_o use_n be_v to_o be_v make_v thereof_o for_o the_o settle_n of_o your_o authority_n and_o strengthen_v of_o your_o prerogative_n according_a to_o the_o true_a rule_n of_o monarchy_n now_o to_o accommodate_v and_o reconcile_v these_o advice_n which_o seem_v almost_o opposite_a first_o your_o majesty_n may_v not_o see_v it_o though_o i_o confess_v it_o be_v suspicious_a that_o my_o lord_n cook_n be_v any_o way_n aforehand_o privy_a to_o that_o which_o be_v do_v or_o that_o he_o do_v set_v it_o or_o animate_v it_o but_o only_o take_v the_o matter_n as_o it_o come_v before_o he_o and_o that_o his_o error_n be_v only_a that_o at_o such_o a_o time_n he_o do_v not_o divert_v it_o in_o some_o good_a manner_n second_o if_o it_o be_v true_a as_o be_v report_v that_o any_o of_o the_o puisne_n judge_n do_v stir_v this_o business_n or_o that_o they_o do_v open_o

with_o your_o majesty_n i_o do_v not_o think_v there_o be_v any_o thing_n a_o great_a polycreston_n ad_fw-la multa_fw-la utile_fw-la to_o your_o affair_n than_o upon_o a_o just_a and_o fit_a

without_o hope_n that_o your_o majesty_n manage_v this_o business_n according_a to_o your_o great_a wisdom_n unto_o which_o i_o acknowledge_v myself_o not_o worthy_a to_o be_v card-holder_n or_o
