timothy_n touchstone_n his_o reply_n to_o mr._n christian_n letter_n write_v in_o vindication_n of_o the_o great_a worth_n and_o innocence_n of_o the_o earl_n of_o danby_n upon_o my_o receipt_n of_o you_o i_o make_v it_o my_o particular_a care_n to_o chide_v that_o naughty-pack_n j._n b._n for_o his_o severe_a reflection_n relate_v to_o the_o murder_n of_o sir_n edmondbury_n godfrey_n and_o show_v he_o the_o infallible_a testimony_n i_o have_v mean_v your_o letter_n to_o contradict_v both_o all_o himself_o and_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n have_v say_v concern_v the_o ill_a conduct_n and_o worse_a design_n of_o the_o earl_n of_o danby_n i_o urge_v too_o and_o effectual_o as_o i_o think_v that_o a_o man_n who_o moral_n be_v so_o well_o know_v as_o you_o aught_o to_o be_v believe_v concern_v the_o pious_a and_o good_a life_n of_o your_o own_o master_n against_o the_o unanimous_a testimony_n of_o court_n parliament_z and_o kingdom_n nay_o and_o his_o own_o letter_n too_o for_o look_v you_o say_fw-la ay_o mr._n j._n b._n can_v any_o one_o know_v more_o of_o thomas_n e._n of_o danby_n then_o mr._n christian_n who_o be_v prefer_v by_o he_o to_o serve_v the_o d._n of_o buckingham_n and_o have_v the_o opportunity_n thereby_o as_o his_o grace_n say_v to_o cheat_v he_o of_o some_o thousand_o do_v not_o he_o after_o this_o take_v he_o again_o into_o his_o own_o secret_a service_n and_o by_o his_o advice_n refuse_v to_o resign_v a_o trust_v his_o grace_n have_v repose_v in_o he_o concern_v his_o estate_n except_o among_o other_o thing_n the_o d._n will_v be_v content_a to_o pay_v christian_a well_o for_o cozen_v he_o sufficient_o do_v he_o not_o by_o his_o advice_n too_o keep_v possession_n of_o the_o duke_n house_n against_o his_o will_n and_o pay_v he_o no_o rent_n to_o boot_v and_o though_o he_o be_v his_o patron_n and_o raiser_n do_v he_o not_o particular_o at_o mr._n christian_n instigation_n plot_n and_o contrive_v how_o to_o take_v off_o the_o duke_n head_n if_o this_o be_v so_o say_v i_o and_o deny_v it_o if_o you_o can_v mr._n j._n b._n how_o then_o do_v you_o think_v any_o man_n shall_v know_v more_o of_o the_o e._n of_o danby_n then_o mr._n christian_n away_o away_o it_o be_v a_o shame_n indeed_o say_v i_o that_o man_n of_o such_o notorious_a life_n for_o gratitude_n and_o honour_n shall_v be_v thus_o susspect_v of_o the_o contrary_a nay_o indeed_o mr._n christian_n in_o duty_n to_o our_o friendship_n i_o tickle_v he_o away_o till_o i_o make_v he_o very_o serious_a whereupon_o i_o have_v hope_n he_o will_v as_o you_o desire_v appear_v and_o be_v hang_v yet_o when_o i_o request_v it_o of_o he_o he_o excuse_v himself_o as_o to_o that_o point_n for_o these_o reason_n first_o he_o say_v that_o though_o he_o have_v as_o much_o respect_n for_o mr._n christian_n as_o any_o man_n breathe_v have_v that_o know_v he_o as_o well_o as_o himself_o yet_o he_o have_v such_o present_a occasion_n for_o his_o life_n he_o can_v not_o possible_o but_o against_o his_o will_n spare_v it_o at_o that_o time_n by_o reason_n as_o he_o say_v among_o other_o thing_n there_o be_v more_o liar_n in_o the_o world_n than_o e._n of_o diego_n and_o yourself_o if_o a_o certain_a lodging_n of_o you_o between_o hambden_n and_o danby_n house_n will_v not_o plead_v possession_n against_o the_o stamford_n evidence_n when_o time_n shall_v serve_v to_o see_v whether_o he_o will_v be_v willing_a to_o stay_v on_o this_o side_n purgatory_n the_o best_a place_n he_o can_v expect_v from_o the_o religion_n you_o give_v he_o and_o the_o crime_n you_o accuse_v he_o of_o in_o your_o letter_n second_o he_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v particular_o unwilling_a to_o be_v hang_v at_o this_o time_n because_o nothing_o a_o man_n say_v on_o the_o gallow_n will_v be_v believe_v and_o he_o will_v be_v loath_a his_o last_o die_a word_n shall_v not_o find_v as_o good_a credit_n as_o b_o or_o p_o so_o sacred_a a_o testimony_n for_o which_o and_o for_o the_o earl_n of_o danby_n sake_n they_o have_v be_v so_o well_o pay_v beside_o i_o protest_v i_o can_v not_o well_o know_v what_o to_o say_v to_o he_o when_o he_o remark_v to_o i_o the_o apparent_a contradiction_n you_o yourself_o give_v to_o the_o testimony_n bring_v against_o those_o that_o have_v suffer_v for_o the_o murder_n when_o you_o allow_v he_o to_o have_v pass_v through_o my_o lady_n ann_n cook_n lodging_n at_o a_o eleven_o a_o clock_n that_o day_n but_o he_o confess_v that_o he_o himself_o do_v not_o see_v he_o then_o nor_o after_o that_o day_n at_o the_o earl_n of_o danby_n but_o he_o be_v confident_a before_o the_o never_o to_o be_v expect_v time_n promise_v in_o your_o letter_n of_o clear_v his_o lordship_n innocence_n there_o will_v be_v they_o will_v swear_v

more_o to_o hang_v which_o for_o your_o sake_n i_o can_v wish_v be_v do_v for_o he_o be_v a_o shrewd_a rogue_n i_o find_v and_o know_v much_o more_o of_o the_o e._n of_o danby_n proceed_n then_o will_v be_v convenient_a for_o his_o lordship_n if_o ever_o he_o stand_v his_o trial_n without_o cling_v to_o his_o pardon_n which_o as_o much_o a_o papist_n as_o j._n b._n be_v he_o allow_v to_o be_v more_o effectual_a for_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o earl_n of_o danby_n in_o this_o world_n than_o those_o chimerical_a one_o the_o pope_n be_v pretend_v to_o grant_v to_o such_o of_o his_o religion_n

than_o you_o or_o i_o nay_o indeed_o the_o earl_n of_o danby_n that_o plain_o see_v these_o be_v apparent_a and_o new_a invent_v calumny_n to_o blear_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o unthinking_a rabble_n
