ever_o be_v call_v to_o testify_v what_o have_v pass_v at_o that_o junto_n which_o have_v also_o happen_v it_o then_o behove_v he_o no_o less_o to_o consider_v well_o what_o he_o put_v down_o in_o writing_n for_o the_o support_n of_o his_o memory_n and_o much_o more_o to_o recollect_v himself_o very_o well_o before_o he_o depose_v any_o thing_n in_o remembrance_n of_o his_o note_n after_o the_o paper_n be_v burn_v and_o consider_v his_o have_v at_o first_o rash_o say_v that_o he_o can_v not_o charge_v the_o lord_n strafford_n with_o that_o of_o the_o irish_a army_n it_o be_v a_o great_a

now_o notwithstanding_o his_o variation_n take_v in_o the_o confirm_a circumstance_n from_o without_o i_o humble_o beseech_v the_o lord_n digby_n who_o i_o see_v have_v a_o noble_a and_o christian_n care_v not_o to_o have_v any_o thing_n drive_v to_o a_o aspersion_n on_o master_n secretary_n first_o to_o think_v well_o upon_o the_o thing_n i_o have_v now_o suggest_v to_o his_o consideration_n touch_v the_o necessity_n which_o in_o duty_n lie_v on_o mr._n secretary_n to_o take_v heed_n that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o syllable_n nor_o title_n amiss_o in_o his_o note_n and_o then_o to_o tell_v himself_o what_o place_n there_o be_v leave_v for_o imagine_v there_o may_v be_v a_o mistake_n of_o herefor_o there_o or_o this_o for_o that_o and_o that_o it_o be_v probable_a there_o be_v so_o since_o it_o be_v confess_v on_o all_o hand_n that_o the_o debate_n than_o be_v concern_v a_o war_n with_o scotland_n for_o that_o there_o be_v any_o such_o mistake_n in_o the_o copy_n of_o his_o note_n can_v be_v fancy_v without_o infinite_a injury_n to_o mr._n secretary_n son_n and_o to_o that_o most_o worthy_a gentleman_n master_n pimme_a who_o take_v the_o copy_n with_o a_o purpose_n to_o make_v the_o use_n have_v be_v make_v of_o it_o and_o who_o i_o hear_v have_v in_o general_a but_o high_a term_n aver_v the_o truth_n thereof_o have_v both_o have_v a_o sight_n of_o the_o original_n and_o be_v both_o of_o untainted_a and_o undoubted_a veracity_n and_o that_o master_n secretary_n can_v not_o so_o mistake_v in_o the_o make_n of_o his_o memorial_n be_v very_o manifest_a by_o the_o incoherence_n of_o the_o lord_n digby_n criticism_n with_o the_o whole_a context_n of_o the_o precede_a word_n viz._n that_o have_v try_v the_o affection_n of_o his_o people_n his_o majesty_n be_v loose_a and_o absolve_v from_o all_o rule_n of_o government_n and_o be_v to_o do_v every_o thing_n that_o power_n will_v admit_v and_o that_o his_o majesty_n have_v try_v all_o way_n and_o be_v refuse_v and_o shall_v be_v acquit_v both_o with_o god_n and_o man_n and_o that_o he_o have_v a_o army_n in_o ireland_n which_o he_o may_v employ_v to_o reduce_v this_o kingdom_n for_o what_o need_n be_v there_o to_o make_v so_o great_a a_o muster_n of_o thing_n do_v in_o england_n for_o the_o acquit_v of_o his_o majesty_n with_o god_n and_o man_n towards_o the_o employ_v of_o the_o irish_a army_n to_o reduce_v the_o kingdom_n of_o scotland_n and_o though_o the_o primary_n debate_n of_o that_o day_n be_v concern_v a_o war_n with_o scotland_n yet_o that_o debate_n must_v needs_o bring_v in_o a_o second_o viz._n how_o money_n may_v be_v raise_v in_o england_n towards_o the_o make_n of_o that_o war_n the_o parliament_n have_v refuse_v to_o supply_v his_o majesty_n as_o the_o lord_n strafford_n most_o wicked_o slander_v the_o house_n of_o commons_o and_o if_o in_o the_o lord_n digby_n conceit_n it_o be_v not_o hard_o for_o mr._n secretary_n to_o mistake_v in_o the_o manner_n
