prove_v well_o enough_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o plot_n but_o my_o lord_n withal_o we_o do_v consider_v when_o the_o first_o discovery_n of_o this_o plot_n be_v make_v how_o afterward_o it_o take_v cold_a how_o rumour_n be_v raise_v against_o it_o how_o there_o be_v endeavour_n to_o suppress_v the_o belief_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o my_o lord_n we_o do_v conceive_v that_o it_o be_v fit_a we_o shall_v first_o settle_v that_o that_o there_o be_v a_o general_a plot_n a_o plot_n of_o such_o a_o nature_n as_o the_o article_n express_v some_o objection_n we_o think_v there_o may_v be_v raise_v because_o it_o have_v be_v so_o long_o in_o the_o world_n some_o year_n now_o since_o the_o discovery_n of_o it_o some_o person_n that_o be_v some_o ten_o or_o eleven_o prosecute_v and_o

particular_n to_o the_o world_n but_o be_v now_o to_o proceed_v before_o your_o lordship_n in_o a_o judicial_a way_n we_o do_v think_v fit_a and_o we_o hope_v your_o lordship_n will_v approve_v of_o it_o to_o spend_v some_o time_n in_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o general_a plot_n which_o we_o hope_v will_v be_v to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o your_o lordship_n and_o the_o whole_a world_n for_o we_o do_v not_o think_v that_o england_n only_o look_v into_o this_o day_n trial_n but_o the_o whole_a world_n one_o way_n or_o other_o the_o whole_a christian_a world_n be_v concern_v in_o it_o my_o

now_o that_o their_o policy_n and_o contrivance_n may_v be_v lay_v open_a to_o the_o world_n and_o first_o we_o offer_v it_o to_o your_o lordship_n because_o we_o have_v make_v it_o part_n of_o the_o

judicial_o before_o you_o but_o the_o main_a reason_n why_o we_o do_v it_o be_v because_o we_o will_v touch_v upon_o those_o endeavour_n that_o have_v be_v use_v to_o make_v this_o seem_v as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o state_n plot_n i_o know_v not_o what_o to_o call_v ●t_a a_o chimaera_n a_o imagination_n and_o not_o a_o real_a thing_n this_o they_o labour_v many_o way_n to_o effect_n but_o we_o shall_v prove_v that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a real_a and_o a_o very_a true_a one_o when_o that_o oat_n first_o make_v a_o discovery_n it_o seem_v it_o have_v not_o that_o weight_n that_o we_o

asleep_a will_v have_v lie_v so_o but_o that_o awake_v we_o my_o lord_n it_o fall_v out_o in_o this_o case_n as_o it_o do_v in_o another_o when_o catiline_n the_o traitor_n be_v a_o great_a way_n off_o rome_n and_o four_o other_o lord_n with_o he_o cassius_z cethegus_n and_o other_o five_o in_o all_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o as_o the_o great_a orator_n that_o be_v at_o that_o time_n
