the_o occasion_n of_o see_v so_o many_o of_o my_o good_a friend_n together_o but_o withal_o i_o do_v assure_v you_o it_o be_v not_o that_o consideration_n make_v i_o continue_v this_o assembly_n for_o to_o be_v plain_a if_o i_o believe_v you_o know_v in_o october_n when_o the_o law_n past_a that_o my_o lord_n c._n be_v remove_v i_o must_v needs_o conclude_v you_o be_v neither_o partial_a to_o i_o as_o the_o king_n governor_n nor_o very_o kind_a as_o your_o friend_n and_o who_o reflect_v on_o it_o now_o will_v say_v so_o but_o the_o reason_n that_o induce_v the_o council_n and_o i_o to_o

resolve_v of_o remove_v the_o obstruction_n this_o conjuncture_n be_v favourable_a and_o may_v give_v more_o encouragement_n than_o can_v be_v expect_v next_o year_n when_o i_o shall_v be_v
