this_o i_o think_v no_o body_n dare_v ever_o be_v so_o impudent_a as_o to_o move_v i_o to_o it_o for_o if_o they_o have_v i_o shall_v have_v make_v they_o such_o a_o example_n and_o put_v such_o a_o

find_v out_o a_o way_n to_o satisfy_v justice_n and_o your_o own_o fear_n and_o not_o oppress_v my_o conscience_n my_o lord_n i_o hope_v you_o know_v what_o a_o tender_a conscience_n be_v and_o i_o must_v declare_v unto_o you_o that_o to_o satisfy_v my_o people_n i_o will_v do_v great_a matter_n but_o in_o this_o of_o conscience_n neither_o fear_n nor_o any_o other_o respect_n whatsoever_o

therefore_o i_o can_v suspect_v you_o will_v go_v about_o it_o nay_o i_o must_v confess_v for_o misdemeanour_n i_o be_o so_o clear_a in_o they_o that_o though_o i_o will_v not_o chalk_v out_o the_o way_n yet_o i_o will_v show_v you_o that_o i_o think_v my_o lord_n of_o strafford_n be_v not_o fit_a hereafter_o to_o serve_v i_o or_o the_o commonwealth_n in_o any_o place_n of_o trust_n no_o not_o
