inform_v myself_o and_o the_o neighbour_a gentleman_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o thing_n and_o prevent_v the_o spread_a of_o false_a news_n and_o afterward_o i_o file_v up_o such_o letter_n according_a to_o their_o date_n as_o you_o may_v perceive_v i_o do_v these_o that_o at_o any_o time_n i_o may_v have_v a_o present_a recourse_n to_o they_o to_o refresh_v my_o memory_n in_o any_o past_a transaction_n my_o lord_n those_o be_v all_o i_o think_v worth_a keep_n of_o this_o kind_a these_o two_o last_o year_n and_o i_o hope_v the_o clerk_n of_o the_o council_n have_v do_v i_o the_o justice_n to_o acquaint_v your_o lordship_n how_o i_o be_v apprehend_v out_o of_o my_o house_n and_o how_o narrow_o i_o myself_o and_o my_o study_n and_o lodging-chamber_n and_o other_o room_n be_v search_v so_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o i_o to_o have_v suppress_v or_o smother_v any_o one_o write_v from_o you_o and_o real_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v not_o a_o note_n or_o least_o scrip_n of_o paper_n of_o any_o consequence_n in_o my_o possession_n but_o they_o have_v a_o view_n of_o it_o earl_n of_o devonshire_n but_o my_o lord_n it_o be_v probable_a a_o man_n of_o your_o interest_n and_o acquaintance_n must_v have_v receive_v more_o letter_n since_o than_o be_v here_o to_o be_v find_v we_o see_v here_o be_v many_o concern_v affair_n that_o pass_v just_a before_o that_o time_n bishop_n of_o r._n my_o lord_n a_o little_a before_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o last_o session_n of_o parliament_n i_o obtain_v leave_v of_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n to_o retire_v into_o the_o country_n for_o the_o recovery_n of_o my_o health_n during_o my_o abode_n there_o as_o long_o as_o the_o parliament_n continue_v i_o be_v somewhat_o curious_a to_o learn_v what_o pass_v in_o both_o house_n and_o therefore_o as_o your_o lordship_n have_v observe_v letter_n come_v thick_a to_o i_o about_o that_o time_n but_o when_o the_o parliament_n be_v up_o very_o little_o happen_v that_o be_v remarkable_a in_o that_o interval_n i_o be_v not_o so_o mindful_a to_o preserve_v the_o letter_n that_o come_v to_o i_o whilst_o all_o thing_n both_o abroad_o and_o at_o home_n be_v rather_o in_o preparation_n than_o action_n beside_o that_o since_o the_o time_n your_o lordship_n speak_v of_o i_o be_v twice_o or_o thrice_o in_o town_n for_o several_a day_n together_o once_o especial_o upon_o a_o public_a occasion_n the_o annual_a election_n of_o westminster_n school_n which_o detain_v i_o here_o about_o a_o week_n and_o these_o be_v the_o true_a reason_n why_o you_o find_v so_o few_o letter_n to_o i_o since_o the_o date_n of_o time_n your_o lordship_n have_v mention_v earl_n of_o n._n will_v it_o please_v your_o lordship_n to_o ask_v the_o bishop_n of_o rochester_n any_o more_o question_n they_o be_v all_o silent_a i_o say_v my_o lord_n i_o can_v imagine_v how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o i_o shall_v be_v thus_o suspect_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o any_o contrivance_n against_o the_o government_n i_o think_v i_o may_v appeal_v to_o all_o that_o know_v i_o i_o be_o sure_a i_o may_v to_o all_o my_o neighbour_n in_o the_o country_n where_o i_o live_v that_o there_o have_v no_o man_n submit_v to_o it_o more_o peaceable_o and_o quiet_o than_o i_o have_v do_v ever_o since_o the_o revolution_n and_o i_o must_v own_v i_o do_v it_o both_o upon_o a_o a_o principle_n of_o conscience_n and_o gratitude_n of_o conscience_n because_o i_o can_v see_v how_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o the_o whole_a protestant_a religion_n can_v be_v preserve_v but_o upon_o this_o constitution_n since_o a_o invasion_n from_o france_n can_v but_o be_v destructive_a to_o both_o and_o of_o gratitude_n because_o as_o you_o all_o know_v i_o happen_v to_o be_v in_o the_o late_a reign_n engage_v in_o a_o affair_n which_o since_o i_o have_v be_v teach_v be_v illegal_a and_o though_o i_o may_v say_v i_o stop_v betimes_o and_o do_v no_o great_a hurt_n but_o hinder_v as_o much_o as_o i_o can_v whilst_o i_o act_v yet_o i_o act_v so_o long_o that_o i_o may_v have_v expect_v to_o be_v severe_o punish_v for_o what_o i_o do_v but_o the_o king_n be_v and_o queen_n part_n in_o the_o general_n pardon_v be_v so_o gracious_a and_o benign_a in_o make_v it_o their_o own_o act_n and_o not_o exclude_v i_o out_o of_o it_o that_o their_o majesty_n have_v thereby_o lay_v upon_o i_o a_o obligation_n never_o to_o be_v forget_v upon_o this_o i_o be_v bid_v to_o withdraw_v and_o about_o a_o hour_n after_o the_o same_o clerk_n of_o the_o council_n be_v

of_o soldier_n and_o there_o i_o shall_v short_o hear_v what_o their_o lordship_n will_v determine_v concern_v i_o he_o likewise_o tell_v the_o messenger_n and_o the_o guard_n that_o he_o have_v a_o strict_a command_n to_o they_o to_o use_v i_o with_o all_o respect_n only_o to_o take_v care_n that_o i_o shall_v be_v safe_o keep_v and_o forthcoming_a nor_o indeed_o have_v i_o any_o thing_n to_o
