a_o absolute_a conquest_n and_o a_o utter_a extirpation_n of_o those_o that_o unconvict_v they_o do_v but_o once_o think_v ungodly_a that_o i_o shall_v represent_v my_o knowledge_n of_o the_o state_n

to_o prove_v myself_o in_o the_o face_n of_o heaven_n so_o cowardly_a a_o christian_a as_o to_o comply_v with_o damnable_a hypocrisy_n against_o so_o clear_a a_o truth_n who_o know_v not_o that_o

we_o be_v then_o as_o capable_a to_o die_v for_o the_o defence_n of_o truth_n as_o now_o for_o the_o suspicion_n the_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n be_v still_o entrust_v in_o our_o hand_n many_o a_o

to_o you_o that_o have_v thus_o far_o entrust_v i_o with_o your_o life_n and_o for_o my_o behaviour_n at_o stratton_n i_o refuse_v no_o man_n testimony_n of_o those_o that_o dare_v put_v themselves_o so_o far_o into_o danger_n as_o to_o be_v eye_n witness_n but_o for_o my_o lord_n of_o stamford_n and_o such_o other_o as_o run_v away_o who_o treason_n real_o it_o be_v i_o know_v that_o concern_v their_o interest_n to_o second_v this_o accusation_n upon_o i_o have_v no_o other_o way_n to_o extenuate_v their_o intolerable_a cowardice_n but_o because_o they_o be_v people_n that_o i_o be_o never_o likely_a to_o meet_v with_o in_o the_o field_n i_o leave_v they_o to_o the_o scourge_n of_o their_o own_o conscience_n and_o to_o pass_v the_o time_n in_o make_v alderman_n and_o woman_n believe_v they_o valiant_a while_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o know_v the_o contrary_a and_o now_o i_o challenge_v malice_n itself_o to_o accuse_v i_o in_o all_o this_o of_o the_o least_o
