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

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

which_o be_v the_o best_a to_o go_v thither_o as_o a_o chancellor_n among_o they_o at_o first_o and_o when_o the_o plantation_n be_v more_o settle_v then_o to_o have_v court_n of_o justice_n there_o
