this_o declaration_n concerning_o her_o majesty_n they_o shall_v in_o this_o answer_n be_v set_v down_o here_o together_o that_o the_o clear_a judgement_n may_v be_v make_v of_o they_o they_o say_v

then_o fit_a to_o proceed_v no_o far_o in_o it_o but_o now_o they_o make_v use_n of_o it_o to_o cast_v aspersion_n upon_o the_o king_n and_o queen_n when_o they_o can_v find_v no_o cause_n to_o punish_v the_o chief_a actor_n in_o the_o say_a business_n second_o they_o say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a design_n among_o the_o papist_n for_o a_o general_a massacre_n in_o ireland_n and_o england_n and_o that_o a_o great_a royal_a person_n have_v a_o hand_n in_o it_o it_o be_v to_o be_v wonder_v at_o that_o they_o shall_v on_o a_o sudden_a become_v so_o modest_a as_o not_o in_o plain_a

house_n of_o commons_o shall_v have_v be_v slay_v have_v it_o not_o be_v prevent_v by_o the_o tailor_n discovery_n in_o moorefeild_n three_o they_o say_v that_o the_o king_n confess_v he_o have_v send_v the_o queen_n to_o holland_n it_o seem_v that_o she_o be_v a_o obedient_a wife_n and_o he_o a_o careful_a husband_n of_o she_o when_o he_o see_v that_o most_o barbarous_a and_o inhuman_a

furniture_n and_o whole_a revenue_n and_o that_o of_o the_o queen_n and_o prince_n have_v be_v by_o they_o neither_o can_v he_o expect_v that_o his_o jewel_n shall_v have_v be_v safe_a than_o his_o

that_o be_v order_v to_o be_v sell_v outright_o for_o fire_n and_o candle_n for_o soldier_n at_o whitehall_n then_o they_o say_v the_o queen_n many_o month_n before_o her_o voyage_n to_o holland_n

the_o cross_n of_o the_o queen_n desire_n and_o that_o the_o king_n send_v of_o her_o afterward_o into_o holland_n be_v not_o until_o she_o can_v not_o remain_v any_o long_o among_o they_o with_o
