from_o this_o statute_n he_o shall_v stand_v clear_a abroad_o and_o this_o can_v be_v bring_v as_o to_o this_o case_n to_o convince_v he_o of_o treason_n and_o his_o lordship_n do_v recall_v one_o

in_o truth_n under_o favour_n withal_o humility_n and_o submission_n to_o their_o lordship_n better_a judgement_n he_o can_v believe_v nor_o fear_v but_o for_o any_o thing_n prove_v this_o day_n

of_o hurt_n 2._o for_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o king_n my_o lord_n we_o say_v it_o be_v the_o honour_n of_o the_o king_n that_o he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o his_o people_n that_o he_o be_v the_o

to_o yield_v up_o some_o part_n to_o the_o king_n that_o he_o may_v with_o more_o security_n enjoy_v the_o rest_n 4._o for_o the_o strength_n and_o honour_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o kingdom_n my_o lord_n in_o a_o time_n of_o peace_n he_o have_v let_v in_o upon_o we_o the_o calamity_n of_o war_n weakness_n shame_n and_o confusion_n 5._o and_o for_o the_o quiet_a of_o the_o subject_n he_o have_v
