life_n of_o the_o people_n who_o god_n will_v have_v spare_v because_o through_o want_n of_o heed_n and_o diligence_n we_o let_v those_o escape_n who_o divine_a justice_n have_v appoint_v to_o

of_o they_o and_o for_o that_o cause_n have_v spare_v the_o mention_n of_o many_o thing_n fame_v whereby_o their_o own_o innocency_n may_v be_v illustrate_v &_o have_v discover_v nothing_o reflect_v

irreverent_o mention_v his_o fail_n that_o if_o they_o be_v guiltless_a of_o disloyal_a intention_n sure_o i_o be_o they_o have_v not_o consider_v that_o because_o of_o our_o sin_n the_o king_n as_o

forteable_o ravish_v by_o power_n and_o policy_n too_o strong_a for_o he_o to_o resist_v he_o may_v for_o aught_o we_o know_v be_v yet_o as_o excusable_a as_o the_o woman_n deflower_v in_o the_o

his_o repentance_n may_v perhaps_o make_v he_o more_o belove_v and_o more_o glorious_a then_o if_o he_o have_v never_o err_v it_o appear_v by_o his_o late_a letter_n in_o which_o he_o boast_v of_o

because_o he_o be_v keep_v both_o from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o own_o friend_n and_o of_o his_o own_o danger_n and_o we_o hope_v that_o when_o his_o eye_n be_v open_v a_o bless_a

great_a and_o general_a distraction_n have_v a_o secret_a hope_n to_o destroy_v both_o the_o king_n and_o his_o kingdom_n by_o this_o we_o shall_v escape_v that_o perpetuate_n of_o civil_a
