to_o you_o that_o after_o a_o short_a time_n of_o sit_v there_o the_o continual_a fever_n of_o the_o house_n make_v my_o pulse_n beat_v high_a too_o and_o the_o prejudice_n i_o have_v to_o some_o

all_o the_o world_n and_o insensible_o i_o find_v myself_o a_o great_a man_n than_o i_o have_v before_o imagine_v i_o be_v i_o choose_v the_o conversation_n of_o those_o who_o be_v believe_v most_o intent_n and_o solicitous_a to_o free_v the_o subject_n from_o the_o vexation_n and_o pressure_n he_o have_v be_v make_v liable_a to_o and_o i_o think_v they_o the_o most_o competent_a judge_n of_o the_o remedy_n which_o be_v to_o be_v apply_v to_o those_o disease_n which_o they_o have_v so_o exact_o discover_v in_o a_o word_n i_o believe_v all_o they_o say_v and_o out_o of_o the_o innate_a reverence_n i_o have_v for_o parliament_n i_o conclude_v it_o impossible_a for_o any_o thing_n to_o flow_v from_o thence_o that_o can_v bring_v damage_n or_o inconvenience_n to_o king_n or_o people_n wherein_o how_o much_o i_o have_v be_v deceive_v the_o world_n know_v and_o i_o be_o not_o ashamed_a to_o acknowledge_v and_o this_o opinion_n and_o resignation_n of_o myself_o to_o that_o infallible_a guide_n make_v i_o neither_o strict_o weigh_v what_o they_o do_v nor_o patient_o hear_v those_o objection_n which_o i_o can_v not_o answer_v think_v worse_o of_o the_o person_n who_o

observe_v it_o have_v be_v exercise_v very_o unequitable_o by_o the_o lord_n lieutenant_n and_o their_o deputy_n and_o therefore_o i_o hearken_v willing_o to_o those_o lawyer_n who_o confident_o aver_v it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o crown_n yet_o the_o great_a reason_n that_o persuade_v i_o to_o join_v with_o those_o who_o will_v press_v the_o king_n in_o it_o be_v that_o i_o think_v and_o be_v

that_o very_o many_o of_o they_o be_v person_n of_o great_a integrity_n and_o eminent_a lover_n of_o their_o country_n yet_o i_o think_v their_o condition_n so_o desperate_a that_o a_o sergeant_n at_o

the_o whole_a strength_n of_o the_o kingdom_n nor_o have_v i_o ever_o the_o least_o apprehension_n of_o a_o war_n till_o we_o hear_v that_o some_o of_o our_o troop_n be_v defeat_v by_o worcester_n and_o that_o the_o king_n begin_v to_o gather_v a_o army_n about_o shrewsbury_n which_o yet_o i_o think_v will_v never_o have_v look_v we_o in_o the_o face_n but_o that_o the_o king_n will_v upon_o some_o treaty_n have_v give_v my_o lord_n of_o essex_n leave_v to_o have_v guard_v he_o to_o westminster_n and_o that_o all_o who_o have_v obey_v the_o parliament_n shall_v have_v have_v office_n
