for_o they_o have_v slay_v you_o already_o in_o their_o heart_n and_o be_v guilty_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n of_o shed_v your_o blood_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o sufficient_a unless_o they_o can_v have_v you_o actual_o slay_v as_o appear_v that_o beyond_o all_o precedent_n you_o be_v clear_v by_o a_o jury_n according_a to_o law_n they_o still_o keep_v you_o in_o prison_n and_o call_v into_o question_n both_o judge_n and_o jury_n a_o thing_n they_o will_v not_o do_v we_o be_v confident_a to_o the_o very_a rogue_n in_o england_n oh_o woeful_a cruelty_n beyond_o example_n we_o be_v

in_o as_o much_o as_o no_o man_n in_o power_n before_o they_o do_v ever_o pretend_v to_o such_o a_o degree_n of_o holiness_n and_o piety_n and_o to_o make_v it_o only_o a_o cloak_n to_o cover_v over_o their_o cruel_a and_o bloody_a end_n this_o fill_v our_o soul_n with_o trouble_n and_o our_o heart_n with_o grief_n especial_o when_o we_o consider_v what_o a_o opportunity_n be_v put_v into_o the_o

do_v to_o their_o tyrant_n master_n in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o endeavour_v at_o once_o to_o expose_v all_o our_o life_n liberty_n freedom_n and_o estate_n to_o be_v take_v away_o at_o pleasure_n in_o case_n their_o act_n be_v draw_v into_o precedent_n if_o any_o of_o we_o do_v but_o anger_v sir_n arthur_n or_o any_o man_n in_o favour_n with_o the_o general_n or_o parliament_n all_o must_v

as_o much_o ground_n to_o try_v we_o for_o our_o life_n and_o in_o case_n a_o jury_n can_v not_o find_v we_o guilty_a they_o may_v detain_v we_o in_o slavery_n as_o they_o do_v you_o against_o all_o

yea_o doubtless_o but_o the_o lord_n forgive_v they_o though_o we_o can_v say_v they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v it_o be_v true_a we_o judge_v not_o thus_o of_o all_o for_o we_o know_v that_o there_o be_v many_o precious_a soul_n among_o they_o the_o lord_n deliver_v they_o from_o the_o snare_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o the_o lord_n give_v you_o and_o we_o heart_n to_o wait_v patient_o
