queen_n service_n my_o own_o fortune_n and_o in_o a_o sort_n my_o vocation_n i_o do_v nothing_o but_o devise_v and_o ruminate_v with_o myself_o to_o the_o best_a of_o my_o understanding_n

at_o such_o a_o time_n and_o with_o so_o kind_a and_o noble_a circumstance_n as_o the_o manner_n be_v as_o much_o as_o the_o matter_n which_o though_o it_o be_v but_o a_o idle_a digression_n yet_o because_o i_o will_v not_o be_v short_a in_o commemoration_n of_o his_o benefit_n i_o will_v presume_v to_o trouble_v your_o lordship_n with_o the_o relate_n to_o you_o the_o manner_n of_o it_o after_o the_o queen_n have_v deny_v i_o the_o solicitor_n place_n for_o the_o which_o his_o lordship_n have_v be_v a_o long_a and_o earnest_a suitor_n on_o my_o behalf_n it_o please_v he_o to_o come_v

you_o be_v the_o least_o part_n of_o your_o own_o matter_n but_o you_o fare_v ill_a because_o you_o have_v choose_v i_o for_o your_o mean_a and_o dependence_n you_o have_v spend_v your_o time_n and_o thought_n in_o my_o matter_n i_o die_v these_o be_v the_o very_a word_n if_o i_o do_v not_o somewhat_o towards_o your_o fortune_n you_o shall_v not_o deny_v to_o accept_v a_o piece_n of_o land_n which_o i_o will_v bestow_v upon_o you_o my_o answer_n i_o remember_v be_v that_o for_o my_o fortune_n it_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n but_o that_o his_o lordship_n offer_v make_v i_o call_v to_o

you_o imitate_v this_o course_n nor_o turn_v your_o state_n thus_o by_o great_a gift_n into_o obligation_n for_o you_o will_v find_v many_o bad_a debtor_n he_o bid_v i_o take_v no_o care_n for_o

that_o while_o i_o have_v most_o credit_n with_o he_o his_o fortune_n go_v on_o best_a and_o yet_o in_o too_o many_o point_n we_o always_o direct_o and_o condradictory_o differ_v which_o i_o will_v

good_a particular_n to_o express_v it_o the_o queen_n will_v be_v bring_v in_o time_n to_o ahasuerus_n question_v to_o ask_v what_o shall_v be_v do_v to_o the_o man_n that_o the_o king_n will_v

side_n have_v a_o settle_a opinion_n that_o the_o queen_n shall_v be_v bring_v to_o nothing_o but_o by_o a_o kind_n of_o necessity_n and_o authority_n and_o i_o well_o remember_v when_o by_o violent_a course_n at_o any_o time_n he_o have_v get_v his_o will_n he_o will_v ask_v i_o now_o sir_n who_o principle_n be_v true_a and_o i_o will_v again_o say_v to_o he_o my_o lord_n these_o course_n be_v like_a to_o hot_a water_n they_o will_v help_v at_o a_o pang_n but_o if_o you_o use_v they_o you_o shall_v spoil_v the_o stomach_n and_o you_o shall_v be_v fain_o still_o to_o make_v they_o strong_a and_o strong_a and_o yet_o in_o the_o end_n they_o will_v lose_v their_o operation_n with_o much_o other_o variety_n wherewith_o i_o use_v to_o touch_v that_o string_n another_o point_n be_v that_o i_o always_o vehement_o persuade_v he_o from_o seek_v greatness_n by_o a_o military_a dependence_n or_o by_o a_o popular_a dependence_n as_o that_o which_o will_v breed_v in_o the_o queen_n jealousy_n in_o himself_o presumption_n and_o in_o the_o state_n perturbation_n and_o i_o do_v usual_o compare_v they_o to_o icarus_n two_o wing_n which_o be_v join_v on_o with_o wax_n and_o will_v make_v he_o venture_v to_o soar_v too_o high_a and_o then_o fail_v he_o at_o the_o height_n and_o i_o will_v further_o say_v unto_o he_o my_o lord_n stand_v upon_o two_o foot_n and_o fly_v not_o upon_o two_o

that_o i_o that_o never_o mean_v to_o enthrall_v myself_o to_o my_o lord_n of_o essex_n nor_o any_o other_o man_n more_o than_o stand_v with_o the_o public_a good_a do_v though_o i_o can_v little_o

than_o the_o time_n will_v be_v as_o in_o the_o declination_n of_o a_o old_a prince_n if_o she_o die_v the_o time_n will_v be_v as_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o a_o new_a and_o that_o if_o his_o
