judgement_n as_o not_o to_o see_v my_o own_o danger_n before_o my_o eye_n nor_o so_o indiscreet_a as_o to_o sharpen_v a_o sword_n to_o cut_v my_o own_o throat_n nor_o so_o egregious_o careless_a as_o not_o to_o provide_v for_o the_o safety_n of_o my_o own_o life_n this_o i_o consider_v with_o myself_o that_o many_o a_o man_n will_v hazard_v his_o own_o life_n to_o save_v the_o life_n of_o a_o

though_o i_o be_v not_o ignorant_a how_o many_o danger_n i_o shall_v meet_v withal_o at_o home_n for_o my_o alter_a religion_n and_o how_o many_o great_a prince_n abroad_o of_o a_o contrary_a

i_o will_v not_o boast_v myself_o my_o sex_n do_v not_o permit_v it_o they_o be_v proper_a to_o man_n but_o for_o the_o two_o former_a and_o less_o rough_a i_o dare_v say_v and_o that_o without_o

and_o worthy_a i_o never_o be_v forward_o to_o believe_v story_n at_o the_o first_o tell_v nor_o be_v i_o so_o rash_a as_o to_o suffer_v my_o judgement_n to_o be_v forestall_v with_o prejudice_n before_o i_o have_v hear_v the_o cause_n i_o will_v not_o say_v but_o many_o report_n may_v happy_o be_v bring_v i_o too_o much_o in_o favour_n of_o the_o one_o side_n or_o the_o other_o for_o a_o good_a and_o wary_a prince_n may_v sometime_o be_v buy_v and_o sell_v whilst_o we_o can_v hear_v all_o ourselves_o yet_o this_o i_o dare_v say_v bold_o my_o judgement_n as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v
