to_o be_v unlawful_a and_o withal_o i_o find_v no_o warrant_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o a_o oath_n of_o inquiry_n and_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o director_n of_o i_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o i_o do_v and_o therefore_o my_o lord_n at_o no_o hand_n i_o dare_v not_o take_v the_o oath_n when_o i_o name_v the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o court_n begin_v to_o laugh_v as_o though_o they_o

young_a man_n and_o do_v not_o well_o know_v what_o belong_v to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o oath_n but_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_a be_v a_o real_a truth_n but_o thus_o much_o by_o god_n

will_v safe_o take_v my_o oath_n that_o what_o i_o have_v say_v be_v true_a so_o they_o speak_v to_o the_o old_a man_n my_o fellow_n partner_n and_o ask_v he_o whether_o he_o will_v take_v the_o oath_n so_o he_o desire_v they_o to_o give_v he_o leave_v to_o speak_v and_o he_o begin_v to_o thunder_v it_o out_o against_o the_o bishop_n and_o tell_v they_o they_o require_v three_o oath_n of_o

the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o by_o which_o they_o deceive_v and_o perjure_v thousand_o of_o the_o king_n subject_n in_o a_o year_n and_o withal_o my_o lord_n say_v he_o there_o be_v a_o maxim_n in_o divinity_n that_o we_o shall_v prefer_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o good_a of_o our_o king_n and_o country_n before_o our_o own_o life_n but_o the_o lord_n wonder_v to_o hear_v the_o old_a

and_o desire_v they_o to_o let_v he_o talk_v a_o little_a and_o he_o will_v tell_v they_o by_o and_o by_o at_o which_o all_o the_o court_n burst_v out_o of_o a_o laugh_v but_o they_o will_v not_o
