than_o i_o do_v to_o my_o dear_a father_n but_o i_o hate_v that_o curse_a principle_n of_o tyranny_n that_o have_v so_o long_o lodge_v and_o harbour_v within_o he_o which_o have_v turn_v our_o water_n of_o law_n into_o blood_n and_o therefore_o upon_o that_o malignant_a principle_n i_o hope_v this_o high_a court_n which_o be_v a_o habitation_n of_o justice_n and_o a_o royal_a palace_n of_o principle_n of_o freedom_n will_v do_v speedy_a justice_n that_o this_o lion_n which_o have_v devour_v so_o many_o sheep_n may_v not_o only_o be_v remove_v out_o of_o the_o way_n but_o that_o this_o iron_n sceptre_n which_o have_v be_v lift_v up_o to_o break_v this_o poor_a nation_n in_o piece_n like_o a_o potter_n vessel_n may_v be_v wrest_v out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o tyrant_n that_o my_o honourable_a client_n for_o who_o i_o be_o a_o unworthy_a advocate_n the_o people_n of_o england_n may_v not_o only_o taste_v but_o drink_v abundant_o of_o those_o sweet_a water_n of_o that_o well_n of_o liberty_n which_o this_o renown_a army_n have_v dig_v with_o their_o sword_n which_o be_v stop_v by_o the_o philistine_n the_o fierce_a jew_n and_o uncircumcised_a canaanite_n the_o hope_n whereof_o make_v i_o ready_o to_o harken_v to_o the_o call_v to_o this_o service_n as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v immediate_o from_o heaven_n be_v full_o satisfy_v that_o the_o prisoner_n be_v long_o since_o condemn_v to_o die_v by_o god_n law_n which_o be_v more_o noble_a and_o ancient_a than_o any_o law_n of_o man_n if_o there_o have_v be_v a_o statute_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o die_v yet_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n not_o withstand_v and_o that_o this_o high_a court_n be_v but_o to_o pronounce_v the_o sentence_n and_o judgement_n write_v against_o he_o and_o though_o i_o may_v have_v be_v sufficient_o discourage_v in_o respect_n that_o my_o reason_n be_v far_o less_o than_o other_o of_o my_o profession_n yet_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v but_o two_o thing_n desirable_a to_o make_v a_o dumb_a man_n eloquent_a namely_o a_o good_a cause_n and_o good_a judge_n the_o first_o whereof_o procure_v the_o justice_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o second_o justice_n upon_o earth_n and_o think_v that_o happy_o god_n may_v make_v use_n of_o one_o mean_a man_n at_o the_o bar_n among_o other_o learned_a counsel_n that_o more_o of_o his_o mind_n may_v appear_v in_o it_o for_o many_o time_n the_o less_o there_o be_v of_o man_n the_o more_o god_n glory_n do_v appear_v and_o hitherto_o very_o much_o of_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n have_v appear_v in_o this_o action_n i_o go_v as_o cheerful_o about_o it_o as_o to_o a_o wedding_n and_o that_o the_o glory_n of_o this_o administration_n may_v be_v whole_o give_v to_o god_n i_o desire_v to_o observe_v to_o the_o praise_n of_o his_o great_a name_n the_o work_n of_o god_n upon_o my_o own_o spirit_n in_o his_o gracious_a assistance_n and_o presence_n with_o i_o as_o a_o return_n of_o prayer_n and_o fruit_n of_o faith_n believe_v that_o god_n never_o call_v to_o the_o act_n of_o any_o thing_n so_o please_v to_o he_o as_o this_o most_o excellent_a court_n of_o justice_n be_v but_o he_o be_v present_a with_o the_o honourable_a judge_n and_o those_o that_o wait_v upon_o they_o i_o have_v be_v sometime_o of_o counsel_n against_o felon_n and_o prisoner_n but_o i_o never_o move_v the_o court_n to_o proceed_v to_o judgement_n against_o any_o felon_n or_o to_o keep_v any_o man_n in_o prison_n but_o i_o tremble_v at_o it_o in_o my_o thought_n as_o think_v it_o will_v be_v easy_a to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o mercy_n and_o indulgence_n then_o of_o any_o thing_n that_o may_v look_v like_o rigor_n but_o now_o my_o spirit_n be_v quite_o of_o another_o temper_n and_o i_o hope_v it_o be_v meat_n and_o drink_n to_o good_a man_n to_o have_v justice_n do_v and_o recreation_n to_o think_v what_o benefit_n this_o nation_n will_v receive_v by_o it_o and_o now_o my_o lord_n i_o must_v as_o the_o truth_n be_v conclude_v he_o guilty_a of_o more_o transcendent_a treason_n and_o enormous_a crime_n than_o all_o the_o king_n in_o this_o part_n of_o the_o world_n have_v ever_o be_v and_o as_o he_o that_o will_v picture_n venus_n must_v take_v the_o eye_n of_o one_o the_o cheek_n of_o another_o beautiful_a woman_n and_o so_o other_o part_n to_o make_v a_o complete_a beauty_n so_o to_o delineate_v a_o absolute_a tyrant_n the_o cruelty_n of_o richard_n the_o three_o and_o all_o the_o subtlety_n treachery_n deep_a dissimulation_n abominable_a project_n and_o dishonourable_a shift_n that_o ever_o be_v

make_v himself_o a_o precedent_n in_o commit_v such_o horrid_a act_n which_o former_a king_n and_o age_n know_v not_o and_o have_v be_v afraid_a to_o think_v of_o that_o your_o lordship_n and_o this_o high_a court_n out_o of_o your_o sublime_a wisdom_n and_o for_o justice_n sake_n will_v make_v he_o a_o example_n for_o other_o kingdom_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v that_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n may_v hear_v and_o fear_n and_o do_v no_o more_o so_o wicked_o that_o he_o that_o will_v not_o be_v a_o pattern_n of_o virtue_n and_o a_o example_n of_o justice_n in_o his_o life_n may_v be_v a_o precedent_n of_o justice_n to_o other_o by_o his_o death_n courteous_a reader_n for_o thy_o full_a satisfaction_n in_o reason_n of_o law_n how_o the_o late_a king_n be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n accountable_a for_o his_o tyrannous_a and_o traitorous_a exorbitance_n i_o refer_v thou_o to_o my_o lord_n precedent_n most_o learned_a and_o judicious_a speech_n before_o the_o sentence_n read_v and_o i_o have_v one_o word_n to_o add_v that_o high_a court_n be_v a_o resemblance_n and_o representation_n of_o the_o great_a day_n of_o judgement_n when_o the_o saint_n shall_v judge_v all_o worldly_a power_n and_o where_o this_o judgement_n will_v be_v confirm_v and_o admire_v for_o it_o be_v not_o only_o bonum_fw-la but_o be_v not_o only_o good_a for_o the_o matter_n but_o the_o manner_n of_o proceed_v this_o high_a court_n do_v not_o only_o consult_v with_o heaven_n for_o wisdom_n and_o direction_n a_o precedent_n for_o other_o court_n to_o begin_v every_o solemn_a

the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n be_v not_o requisite_a in_o treason_n the_o prisoner_n stand_v mute_a as_o judge_n which_o before_o be_v most_o notorious_a and_o know_v to_o they_o as_o private_a

righteous_a a_o sentence_n as_o ever_o be_v give_v by_o mortal_a man_n and_o yet_o what_o action_n be_v ever_o so_o good_a but_o be_v traduce_v not_o only_o by_o unholy_a man_n but_o by_o the_o holy_a
