least_o of_o it_o so_o that_o i_o need_v not_o i_o think_v say_v more_o for_o the_o king_n i_o do_v sincere_o pray_v for_o he_o and_o wish_v well_o to_o he_o and_o to_o the_o nation_n that_o they_o may_v be_v happy_a in_o one_o another_o that_o he_o may_v be_v indeed_o the_o defender_n of_o the_o faith_n that_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o the_o peace_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o kingdom_n may_v be_v preserve_v and_o flourish_v under_o his_o government_n and_o that_o he_o in_o his_o person_n may_v be_v happy_a both_o here_o and_o hereafter_o as_o for_o the_o share_n i_o have_v in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o the_o popish_a plot_n i_o take_v god_n to_o witness_n that_o i_o proceed_v in_o it_o in_o the_o sincerity_n of_o my_o heart_n be_v then_o real_o convince_v as_o i_o be_o still_o that_o there_o be_v a_o conspiracy_n against_o the_o king_n the_o nation_n and_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o i_o likewise_o profess_v that_o i_o never_o know_v any_o thing_n either_o

falshood_n and_o cruelty_n be_v never_o in_o my_o nature_n but_o always_o the_o far_a from_o it_o imaginable_a i_o do_v believe_v and_o do_v still_o that_o popery_n be_v break_v in_o upon_o the_o nation_n and_o that_o those_o who_o advance_v it_o will_v stop_v at_o nothing_o to_o carry_v on_o their_o design_n i_o be_o hearty_o sorry_a that_o so_o many_o protestant_n give_v their_o help_a hand_n to_o it_o but_o i_o hope_v god_n will_v preserve_v the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o this_o nation_n though_o i_o be_o afraid_a i_o will_v fall_v under_o very_o great_a trial_n and_o very_o sharp_a suffering_n and_o indeed_o the_o impiety_n and_o profaneness_n that_o abound_v and_o appear_v so_o scandalous_o barefaced_a every_o where_o give_v too_o 〈◊〉_d reason_n to_o fear_v the_o worst_a thing_n which_o can_v befall_v a_o people_n i_o pray_v god_n prevent_v it_o and_o give_v those_o who_o have_v show_v concern_v for_o the_o public_a good_a and_o who_o have_v appear_v hearty_a for_o the_o true_a interest_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o the_o protestant_a religion_n grace_n to_o live_v so_o that_o they_o may_v not_o cast_v a_o reproach_n on_o that_o which_o they_o endeavour_v to_o advance_v which_o god_n know_v have_v often_o give_v i_o many_o sad_a thought_n and_o i_o hope_v such_o of_o my_o friend_n as_o may_v think_v they_o be_v touch_v by_o this_o will_v not_o take_v what_o i_o say_v in_o ill_a part_n but_o endeavour_v to_o amend_v their_o way_n and_o live_v suitable_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o true_a reform_a religion_n which_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n can_v administer_v true_a comfort_n at_o the_o latter_a end_n and_o revive_v a_o man_n when_o he_o come_v to_o die_v as_o for_o my_o present_a condition_n i_o bless_v god_n i_o have_v no_o repine_v in_o my_o heart_n at_o it_o i_o know_v for_o my_o sin_n i_o have_v deserve_v much_o worse_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n so_o that_o i_o cheerful_o submit_v to_o so_o small_a a_o punishment_n as_o the_o be_v take_v off_o a_o few_o year_n soon_o and_o the_o be_v make_v a_o spectacle_n to_o the_o world_n i_o do_v free_o forgive_v all_o the_o world_n particular_o those_o concern_v in_o take_v away_o my_o life_n and_o i_o desire_v and_o conjure_v my_o friend_n to_o think_v of_o no_o revenge_n but_o to_o submit_v to_o the_o holy_a will_n of_o god_n into_o who_o hand_n i_o resign_v myself_o entire_o but_o to_o look_v back_o a_o little_a i_o can_v but_o give_v some_o touch_n about_o the_o bill_n of_o exclusion_n and_o show_v the_o reason_n of_o my_o appear_v in_o that_o business_n which_o in_o short_a be_v this_o that_o i_o think_v the_o nation_n be_v in_o such_o danger_n of_o popery_n and_o that_o the_o expectation_n of_o a_o popish_a successor_n as_o i_o have_v say_v in_o parliamen_n put_v the_o king_n life_n likewise_o in_o such_o danger_n that_o i_o see_v no_o way_n so_o effectual_a to_o secure_v both_o as_o such_o a_o bill_n as_o to_o the_o limitation_n which_o be_v propose_v if_o they_o be_v sincere_o offer_v and_o have_v pass_v into_o a_o law_n the_o duke_n then_o will_v have_v be_v exclude_v from_o the_o power_n of_o a_o king_n and_o the_o government_n quite_o alter_v and_o little_o more_o than_o the_o name_n of_o a_o king_n leave_v so_o i_o can_v not_o sea_n either_o sin_n or_o fault_n in_o the_o one_o when_o all_o people_n be_v willing_a to_o admit_v of_o tother_o but_o think_v it_o better_a to_o have_v a_o king_n with_o his_o prerogative_n and_o the_o nation_n easy_a and_o safe_a under_o he_o than_o a_o king_n without_o it_o which_o must_v have_v breed_v perpetual_a jealousy_n and_o a_o continual_a struggle_v all_o this_o i_o say_v only_o to_o justify_v myself_o and_o not_o to_o inflame_v other_o though_o i_o can_v but_o think_v my_o earnestness_n in_o that_o matter_n have_v have_v no_o small_a influence_n in_o my_o present_a suffering_n but_o i_o have_v now_o do_v with_o this_o world_n and_o be_o go_v to_o a_o kingdom_n that_o can_v be_v move_v and_o to_o the_o conspire_v to_o seize_v the_o guard_n which_o be_v the_o crime_n for_o which_o i_o be_o condemn_v and_o which_o be_v make_v a_o constructive_a treason_n for_o take_v away_o the_o king_n life_n to_o bring_v it_o within_o the_o stature_n of_o edw._n the_o 3d._n i_o shall_v give_v this_o true_a and_o clear_a account_n i_o never_o be_v at_o mr._n shepherd_n with_o that_o company_n but_o once_o and_o there_o be_v no_o undertake_n then_o of_o secure_v or_o seize_v the_o guard_n nor_o none_o appoint_v to_o view_v or_o examine_v they_o some_o discourse_n there_o be_v about_o the_o feasibleness_n of_o it_o and_o several_a time_n by_o accident_n in_o general_a discourse_n elsewhere_o i_o have_v hear_v it_o mention_v as_o a_o thing_n may_v easy_o be_v do_v but_o never_o consent_v to_o as_o fit_a to_o be_v do_v and_o i_o remember_v particular_o at_o my_o lord_n shaftsbury_n there_o be_v some_o general_a discourse_n of_o this_o kind_n i_o immediate_o fly_v our_o and_o exclaim_v against_o it_o and_o ask_v if_o the_o thing_n succeed_v what_o must_v be_v do_v next_o but_o massacre_a the_o guard_n and_o kill_v they_o in_o cold_a blood_n which_o i_o look_v upon_o as_o in_o destable_a a_o thing_n and_o so_o like_o a_o popish_a practice_n that_o i_o can_v not_o but_o abhor_v it_o and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o duke_n of_o monmouth_n take_v i_o by_o the_o hand_n and_o tell_v i_o very_o kind_o my_o lord_n i_o see_v you_o and_o i_o be_v of_o a_o temper_n do_v you_o ever_o hear_v so_o horrid_a a_o thing_n and_o i_o must_v needs_o do_v he_o that_o justice_n to_o declare_v that_o i_o never_o observe_v in_o he_o but_o a_o abhorence_n to_o all_o base_a thing_n as_o to_o my_o go_v to_o mr._n shepherd_n i_o go_v with_o a_o intention_n to_o taste_v

remember_v i_o ask_v he_o about_o it_o and_o he_o go_v and_o fetch_v a_o bottle_n but_o when_o i_o taste_v it_o i_o say_v it_o be_v hot_a in_o the_o mouth_n and_o desire_v that_o whenever_o he_o

as_o if_o i_o have_v make_v a_o story_n about_o go_v thither_o but_o i_o never_o say_v that_o be_v the_o only_a reason_n and_o i_o will_v now_o true_o and_o plain_o add_v the_o rest_n i_o be_v the_o day_n before_o this_o meeting_n come_v to_o town_n for_o two_o or_o three_o day_n as_o i_o have_v do_v once_o or_o twice_o before_o have_v a_o very_a near_a and_o dear_a relation_n lie_v in_o a_o very_a languish_a and_o desperate_a condition_n and_o the_o duke_n of_o monmouth_n come_v to_o i_o and_o tell_v i_o he_o be_v extreme_o glad_a i_o be_v come_v to_o town_n for_o my_o lord_n
