well_o i_o do_v not_o intend_v you_o shall_v die_v at_o least_o not_o for_o the_o present_a until_o i_o know_v the_o king_n be_v further_a pleasure_n i_o be_v not_o i_o thank_v god_n for_o it_o

to_o which_o i_o answer_v the_o reason_n be_v because_o in_o cromwel_n time_n in_o the_o great_a trouble_n our_o family_n suffer_v much_o my_o father_n be_v imprison_v and_o a_o fellow-prisoner_n with_o sir_n thomas_n ashton_n both_o confine_v together_o which_o sir_n thomas_n be_v now_o one_o of_o his_o majesty_n admiral_n of_o the_o fleet._n and_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o go_v beyond_o

as_o many_o other_o of_o the_o king_n be_v loyal_a subject_n do_v the_o better_a to_o be_v able_a to_o do_v his_o majesty_n the_o best_a service_n i_o can_v which_o according_a to_o my_o small_a

this_o which_o he_o leave_v write_v with_o his_o own_o hand_n be_v publish_v by_o friend_n almighty_a god_n out_o of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n to_o this_o world_n through_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o son_n christ_n jesus_n ordain_v or_o make_v choice_n of_o three_o virtue_n whereby_o we_o must_v walk_v which_o be_v these_o viz._n faith_n hope_n and_o charity_n first_o by_o virtue_n of_o

and_o the_o reason_n why_o christian_n do_v believe_v this_o hope_n be_v to_o bring_v and_o conduct_v they_o to_o salvation_n in_o the_o other_o world_n and_o if_o we_o hope_v in_o god_n we_o can_v but_o believe_v god_n for_o with_o the_o mouth_n confession_n be_v make_v but_o with_o the_o heart_n and_o through_o faith_n we_o must_v believe_v unto_o salvation_n so_o that_o faith_n be_v not_o to_o be_v tread_v under_o foot_n or_o to_o be_v hide_v under_o a_o bushel_n but_o to_o be_v set_v upon_o a_o candlestick_n luke_n 12_o whosoever_o do_v confess_v i_o before_o man_n he_o will_v i_o

faith_n there_o be_v but_o one_o faith_n one_o lord_n one_o baptism_n if_o it_o be_v so_o how_o can_v this_o stand_v with_o so_o many_o sectary_n as_o there_o be_v if_o there_o be_v but_o one_o faith_n how_o can_v this_o be_v i_o believe_v the_o creed_n of_o st._n athanasius_n which_o be_v in_o your_o common-prayer_n book_n there_o it_o

by_o mock_n and_o stripe_n they_o be_v in_o chain_n and_o prison_n they_o be_v stone_v they_o be_v hew_v they_o be_v tempt_v they_o die_v in_o the_o slaughter_n of_o the_o sword_n they_o be_v so_o
