religion_n grace_n to_o live_v so_o that_o they_o may_v not_o cast_v a_o reproach_n on_o that_o which_o they_o endeavour_v to_o advance_v which_o god_n know_v have_v often_o give_v i_o many_o sad_a thought_n and_o i_o hope_v such_o of_o my_o friend_n as_n may_v think_v they_o be_v touch_v by_o this_o will_v not_o take_v what_o i_o say_v in_o ill_a part_n but_o endeavour_v to_o amend_v their_o way_n and_o live_v suitable_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o true_a reform_a religion_n which_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n can_v administer_v true_a comfort_n at_o the_o latter_a end_n and_o revive_v a_o man_n when_o he_o come_v to_o die_v as_o for_o my_o present_a condition_n i_o bless_v god_n i_o have_v no_o repine_v in_o my_o heart_n at_o it_o i_o know_v for_o my_o sin_n i_o have_v deserve_v much_o worse_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n so_o that_o i_o cheerful_o submit_v to_o so_o small_a a_o punishment_n as_o the_o be_v take_v off_o a_o few_o year_n soon_o and_o the_o be_v make_v a_o spectacle_n to_o the_o world_n i_o do_v free_o forgive_v all_o the_o world_n particular_o those_o concern_v in_o take_v away_o my_o life_n and_o i_o desire_v and_o conjure_v my_o friend_n to_o think_v of_o no_o revenge_n but_o to_o submit_v to_o the_o holy_a will_n of_o god_n into_o who_o hand_n i_o resign_v myself_o entire_o but_o to_o look_v back_o a_o little_a i_o can_v but_o give_v some_o touch_n about_o the_o bill_n of_o exclusion_n and_o show_v the_o reason_n of_o my_o appear_v in_o that_o business_n which_o in_o short_a be_v this_o that_o i_o think_v the_o nation_n be_v in_o such_o danger_n of_o popery_n and_o that_o the_o expectation_n of_o a_o popish_a successor_n as_o i_o have_v say_v in_o parliament_n put_v the_o king_n life_n likewise_o in_o such_o danger_n that_o i_o see_v no_o way_n so_o effectual_a to_o secure_v both_o as_o such_o a_o bill_n as_o to_o the_o limitation_n which_o be_v propose_v if_o they_o be_v sincere_o offer_v and_o have_v pass_v into_o a_o law_n the_o duke_n then_o will_v have_v be_v exclude_v from_o the_o power_n of_o a_o king_n and_o the_o government_n quite_o alter_v and_o little_o more_o than_o the_o name_n of_o a_o king_n leave_v so_o i_o can_v not_o see_v either_o sin_n or_o fault_n in_o the_o one_o when_o all_o people_n be_v willing_a to_o admit_v of_o tother_o but_o think_v it_o better_a to_o have_v a_o king_n with_o his_o prerogative_n and_o the_o nation_n easy_a and_o safe_a under_o he_o than_o a_o king_n without_o it_o which_o must_v have_v breed_v perpetual_a jealousy_n and_o a_o continual_a struggle_v all_o this_o i_o say_v only_o to_o justify_v myself_o and_o not_o to_o inflame_v other_o though_o i_o can_v but_o think_v my_o earnestness_n in_o that_o matter_n have_v have_v no_o small_a influence_n in_o my_o present_a suffering_n but_o i_o have_v now_o do_v with_o this_o world_n and_o be_o go_v to_o a_o kingdom_n which_o can_v be_v move_v and_o as_o to_o the_o conspire_v to_o seize_v the_o guard_n which_o be_v the_o crime_n for_o which_o i_o be_o condemn_v and_o which_o be_v make_v a_o constructive_a treason_n for_o take_v away_o the_o king_n life_n to_o bring_v it_o within_o the_o statute_n of_o edw._n the_o 3d._n i_o shall_v give_v this_o true_a and_o clear_a account_n i_o never_o be_v at_o mr._n shepherd_n with_o that_o company_n but_o once_o and_o there_o be_v no_o undertake_n then_o of_o secure_v or_o seize_v the_o guard_n nor_o none_o appoint_v to_o view_v or_o examine_v they_o some_o discourse_n there_o be_v of_o the_o feasibleness_n of_o it_o and_o several_a time_n by_o accident_n in_o general_a discourse_n elsewhere_o i_o have_v hear_v it_o mention_v as_o a_o thing_n may_v easy_o be_v do_v but_o never_o consent_v to_o as_o fit_a to_o be_v do_v and_o i_o remember_v particular_o at_o my_o lord_n shaftsbury_n there_o be_v some_o general_a discourse_n of_o this_o kind_n i_o immediate_o fly_v out_o and_o exclaim_v against_o it_o and_o ask_v if_o the_o thing_n succeed_v what_o must_v be_v do_v next_o but_o massacre_a the_o guard_n and_o kill_v they_o in_o cold_a blood_n which_o i_o look_v upon_o as_o so_o detestable_a a_o thing_n and_o so_o like_o a_o popish_a practice_n that_o i_o can_v not_o but_o abhor_v it_o and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o duke_n of_o monmouth_n take_v i_o by_o the_o hand_n and_o tell_v i_o very_o kind_o my_o lord_n i_o see_v you_o and_o i_o be_v of_o a_o temper_n do_v you_o ever_o hear_v so_o horrid_a a_o thing_n and_o i_o must_v needs_o do_v he_o that_o justice_n to_o declare_v that_o i_o never_o observe_v in_o he_o but_o a_o abhorrence_n to_o all_o base_a thing_n as_o to_o my_o go_v to_o mr._n shepherd_n i_o go_v with_o a_o intention_n to_o taste_v sherry_n for_o he_o have_v promise_v i_o to_o reserve_v for_o i_o the_o next_o very_o good_a piece_n he_o meet_v with_o when_o i_o go_v out_o of_o town_n and_o if_o he_o recollect_n he_o may_v remember_v i_o ask_v he_o about_o it_o and_o he_o go_v and_o fetch_v a_o bottle_n but_o when_o i_o taste_v it_o i_o say_v it_o be_v hot_a in_o the_o mouth_n and_o desire_v that_o whenever_o he_o meet_v with_o a_o choice_a piece_n he_o will_v keep_v it_o for_o i_o which_o he_o promise_v i_o enlarge_v the_o more_o upon_o this_o because_o sir_n geo._n jefferies_n insinuate_v to_o the_o jury_n as_o if_o i_o have_v make_v a_o story_n about_o go_v thither_o but_o i_o never_o say_v that_o be_v the_o only_a reason_n and_o i_o will_v now_o true_o and_o plain_o add_v the_o rest_n i_o be_v the_o day_n before_o this_o meeting_n come_v to_o town_n for_o two_o or_o three_o day_n as_o i_o have_v do_v once_o or_o twice_o before_o have_v a_o very_a near_a and_o dear_a relation_n lie_v in_o a_o very_a languish_a and_o desperate_a condition_n and_o the_o duke_n of_o monmouth_n come_v to_o i_o and_o tell_v i_o he_o be_v extreme_o glad_a i_o be_v come_v to_o town_n for_o my_o lord_n shaftsbury_n and_o some_o hot_a man_n will_v undo_v we_o all_o how_o so_o my_o lord_n i_o say_v why_o answer_v he_o they_o will_v certain_o do_v some_o disorderly_a thing_n or_o other_o if_o great_a care_n be_v not_o take_v and_o therefore_o for_o god_n sake_n use_v your_o endeavour_n with_o your_o friend_n to_o prevent_v any_o thing_n of_o this_o kind_n he_o tell_v i_o there_o will_v be_v company_n at_o mr._n shepherd_n that_o night_n and_o desire_v i_o to_o be_v at_o home_o in_o the_o evening_n and_o he_o will_v call_v i_o which_o he_o do_v and_o when_o i_o come_v into_o the_o room_n i_o see_v mr._n rumsey_n by_o the_o chimney_n though_o he_o swear_v he_o come_v in_o after_o and_o there_o be_v thing_n say_v by_o some_o with_o much_o more_o heat_n than_o judgement_n which_o i_o do_v sufficient_o disapprove_v and_o yet_o for_o these_o thing_n i_o stand_v condemn_v but_o i_o thank_v god_n my_o part_n be_v sincere_a and_o well_o mean_v it_o be_v i_o know_v infer_v from_o hence_o and_o be_v press_v to_o i_o that_o i_o be_v acquaint_v with_o these_o heat_n and_o ill_a design_n and_o do_v not_o discover_v they_o but_o this_o be_v but_o misprision_n of_o treason_n at_o most_o so_o i_o die_v innocent_a of_o the_o crime_n i_o stand_v condemn_v for_o and_o i_o hope_v nobody_o will_v imagine_v that_o so_o mean_v a_o thought_n can_v enter_v into_o i_o as_o to_o go_v about_o to_o save_v myself_o by_o accuse_v other_o the_o part_n that_o some_o have_v act_v late_o of_o that_o kind_n have_v not_o be_v such_o as_o to_o invite_v i_o to_o love_v life_n at_o such_o a_o rate_n as_o for_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n pass_v upon_o i_o i_o can_v but_o think_v it_o a_o very_a hard_a one_o for_o nothing_o be_v swear_v against_o i_o whether_o true_a or_o false_a i_o will_v not_o now_o examine_v but_o some_o discourse_n about_o make_v some_o stir_v and_o this_o be_v not_o levy_v war_n against_o the_o king_n which_o be_v treason_n by_o the_o statute_n of_o edward_n the_o three_o and_o not_o the_o consult_v and_o discourse_v about_o it_o which_o be_v all_o that_o be_v witness_v against_o i_o but_o by_o a_o strange_a fetch_v the_o design_n of_o seize_v the_o guard_n be_v construe_v a_o design_n of_o kill_v the_o king_n and_o so_o i_o be_v in_o that_o cast_n and_o now_o i_o have_v true_o and_o sincere_o tell_v what_o my_o part_n be_v in_o that_o which_o can_v be_v more_o than_o a_o bare_a misprision_n and_o yet_o i_o be_o condemn_v as_o guilty_a of_o a_o design_n of_o kill_v the_o king_n i_o pray_v god_n lay_v not_o this_o to_o the_o charge_n neither_o of_o the_o king_n counsel_n nor_o judge_n nor_o sheriff_n nor_o jury_n and_o for_o
