one_o of_o the_o article_n as_o i_o remember_v for_o i_o can_v at_o present_v recover_v a_o sight_n of_o they_o so_o that_o upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n i_o humble_o conceive_v that_o suppose_v your_o lordship_n to_o have_v be_v the_o accuser_n of_o the_o six_o member_n of_o parliament_n which_o your_o own_o confession_n that_o you_o advertise_v his_o majesty_n of_o the_o danger_n in_o which_o his_o sacred_a personâ—_n and_o divers_a parliament_n man_n be_v by_o those_o tumult_n of_o which_o his_o majesty_n charge_v they_o to_o have_v be_v the_o contriver_n put_v to_o the_o rest_n i_o have_v former_o observe_v do_v well_o nigh_o bring_v home_o to_o you_o i_o can_v see_v how_o you_o can_v avoid_v the_o unhappiness_n of_o be_v repute_v the_o sole_a occasion_n at_o least_o of_o the_o miserable_a condition_n in_o which_o this_o kingdom_n now_o be_v for_o since_o his_o majesty_n out_o of_o his_o princely_a desire_n of_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o peace_n of_o his_o people_n be_v gracious_o please_v to_o have_v whole_o desert_v any_o prosecution_n of_o the_o accuse_a member_n and_o since_o his_o honour_n will_v as_o i_o humble_o conceive_v have_v be_v as_o well_o save_v by_o the_o produce_v as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o suppress_n of_o the_o particular_a suggestion_n against_o they_o though_o they_o shall_v have_v be_v acquit_v by_o parliament_n it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o imagine_v any_o sufficient_a cause_n why_o his_o majâ—sty_n deny_v the_o petition_n of_o both_o his_o house_n of_o parliament_n to_o declare_v the_o suggestor_n according_a to_o the_o law_n in_o that_o case_n provide_v beside_o his_o care_n of_o your_o lordshipâ—_z in_o retribution_n of_o your_o care_n of_o he_o which_o be_v or_o may_v be_v a_o true_o princely_a consideration_n of_o his_o majesty_n but_o such_o a_o one_o as_o i_o shall_v have_v be_v most_o humble_o instant_a with_o his_o majesty_n not_o to_o have_v take_v of_o i_o have_v i_o be_v in_o your_o place_n i_o have_v faithful_o represent_v to_o your_o lordship_n the_o hard_a condition_n wherein_o you_o be_v lodge_v in_o common_a esteem_n and_o i_o wish_v from_o my_o heart_n it_o be_v as_o easy_a for_o i_o to_o help_v you_o out_o as_o it_o have_v be_v to_o show_v you_o how_o you_o come_v into_o it_o but_o i_o doubt_v that_o will_v prove_v a_o much_o hard_a matter_n to_o do_v in_o these_o two_o latter_a than_o i_o find_v it_o in_o the_o two_o former_a part_n of_o your_o apology_n yet_o my_o make_v a_o attempt_n can_v do_v you_o no_o harm_n and_o it_o may_v do_v you_o some_o good_a if_o i_o can_v but_o shâ—w_v you_o that_o you_o be_v not_o in_o a_o right_a way_n to_o help_v yourself_o you_o say_v you_o return_v into_o england_n not_o with_o so_o much_o joy_n to_o see_v your_o country_n indeed_o there_o be_v small_a cause_n of_o joy_n to_o be_v see_v there_o at_o that_o time_n as_o hope_v to_o be_v admit_v upon_o your_o humble_a petition_n to_o his_o majesty_n for_o a_o fair_a regular_a impartial_a vindication_n of_o your_o innocence_n but_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v ask_v why_o you_o then_o procure_v his_o majesty_n licence_n to_o transport_v yourself_o out_o of_o england_n into_o another_o country_n what_o can_v you_o answer_v for_o in_o truth_n my_o lord_n i_o know_v not_o the_o common_a opinion_n of_o the_o world_n be_v that_o it_o be_v in_o part_n to_o decline_v such_o a_o trial_n indeed_o to_o do_v you_o right_a i_o must_v observe_v that_o in_o your_o first_o letter_n to_o the_o queen_n maiâ—stie_n write_v soon_o after_o your_o land_n on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o appear_v you_o have_v already_o some_o thought_n of_o return_v but_o it_o appear_v too_o that_o you_o intend_v it_o not_o till_o you_o shall_v hear_v that_o the_o king_n have_v betake_v himself_o to_o a_o safe_a place_n as_o you_o find_v he_o at_o your_o return_n where_o he_o may_v avow_v or_o protect_v his_o servant_n and_o my_o lord_n i_o pray_v do_v not_o his_o majesty_n avow_v many_o other_o his_o faithful_a servant_n that_o be_v no_o delinquent_n and_o protect_v they_o well_o enough_o in_o the_o place_n where_o he_o reside_v when_o your_o lordship_n leave_v the_o court_n therefore_o you_o add_v from_o rage_n i_o mean_v and_o violence_n for_o from_o justice_n i_o shall_v never_o implore_v it_o but_o what_o cause_n have_v you_o to_o fear_v rage_n or_o violence_n from_o which_o even_o the_o lord_n strafford_n be_v careful_o and_o easy_o protect_v at_o his_o trial_n in_o your_o letter_n to_o sir_n lewis_n dive_n you_o express_v yourself_o a_o little_a more_o full_o as_o one_o brother_n will_v do_v to_o another_o thus_o god_n know_v i_o have_v not_o a_o thought_n towards_o my_o country_n to_o make_v i_o blush_v much_o less_o criminal_a but_o where_o traitor_n have_v so_o great_a a_o sway_n the_o honest_a thought_n may_v prove_v most_o treasonable_a this_o be_v the_o first_o time_n that_o ever_o i_o hear_v of_o the_o danger_n of_o honest_a thought_n of_o the_o danger_n of_o treasonable_a thought_n i_o have_v read_v before_o in_o a_o sermon_n of_o solomon_n but_o where_o be_v it_o that_o traitor_n have_v so_o great_a a_o sway_n at_o that_o time_n be_v it_o in_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o they_o either_o can_v or_o will_v have_v do_v no_o more_o but_o accuse_v you_o and_o if_o traitor_n have_v so_o great_a a_o sway_n among_o they_o their_o
