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

tender_a point_n and_o therefore_o i_o can_v expect_v that_o you_o will_v go_v about_o it_o nay_o i_o must_v confess_v for_o matter_n of_o misdemeanour_n i_o be_o so_o clear_a in_o that_o that_o though_o i_o will_v not_o chaulk_v out_o the_o way_n yet_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o that_o i_o do_v 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

they_o be_v not_o build_v by_o i_o or_o at_o my_o particular_a charge_n nor_o do_v i_o say_v otherwise_o in_o my_o answer_n and_o it_o have_v be_v a_o vain_a thing_n to_o have_v say_v it_o though_o i_o have_v do_v it_o myself_o but_o it_o be_v say_v the_o answer_n be_v not_o right_a in_o say_v there_o be_v divers_a worthy_a churchman_n prefer_v and_o three_o be_v instance_a in_o bishop_n atherton_n the_o bishop_n of_o d._n and_o one_o gwyn_n to_o this_o i_o beseech_v your_o lordship_n that_o i_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o let_v the_o gentleman_n know_v that_o bishopric_n be_v not_o in_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o deputy_n but_o of_o the_o king_n and_o that_o he_o be_v not_o responsible_a for_o what_o the_o king_n do_v but_o not_o desire_v to_o deny_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v true_a i_o

person_n fit_a for_o that_o charge_n but_o suppose_v he_o have_v a_o secret_a fault_n of_o his_o own_o god_n know_v it_o be_v unknown_a to_o i_o may_v not_o a_o man_n be_v deceive_v in_o his_o judgement_n of_o a_o man_n but_o this_o shall_v be_v turn_v against_o he_o it_o be_v a_o very_a easy_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n to_o cover_v his_o fault_n from_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n i_o think_v he_o not_o a_o vicious_a man_n he_o prove_v so_o and_o he_o have_v his_o merit_n he_o suffer_v for_o it_o and_o unless_o i_o have_v the_o inspection_n of_o almighty_a god_n i_o suppose_v this_o can_v be_v lay_v to_o my_o charge_n if_o any_o private_a end_n or_o respect_n shall_v appear_v in_o the_o do_n of_o it_o i_o desire_v no_o more_o of_o your_o lordship_n favour_n and_o i_o profess_v i_o have_v rather_o be_v out_o of_o the_o world_n than_o not_o have_v the_o favour_n of_o your_o lordship_n and_o the_o honourable_a house_n of_o commons_o of_o who_o i_o desire_v that_o they_o will_v hear_v i_o with_o that_o equity_n that_o they_o hear_v every_o thing_n for_o the_o bishop_n of_o d._n all_o that_o be_v mention_v against_o he_o be_v that_o he_o be_v impeach_v of_o high_a treason_n by_o the_o commons_o house_n of_o parliament_n in_o ireland_n and_o how_o the_o bishop_n will_v acquit_v himself_o i_o know_v not_o but_o for_o that_o the_o bishop_n must_v answer_v for_o himself_o not_o i_o this_o bishop_n have_v live_v in_o my_o house_n a_o long_a time_n as_o my_o chaplain_n and_o i_o humble_o recommend_v he_o to_o that_o bishopric_n take_v he_o and_o i_o hope_v he_o will_v so_o approve_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o very_a learned_a man_n and_o that_o i_o think_v no_o body_n will_v deny_v certain_o he_o have_v the_o element_n to_o make_v he_o a_o very_a worthy_a churchman_n as_o most_o i_o know_v for_o that_o gwyn_n i_o profess_v i_o never_o hear_v of_o he_o before_o nor_o do_v i_o know_v he_o but_o recollect_v my_o thought_n i_o think_v he_o be_v recommend_v to_o i_o by_o my_o lord_n of_o d._n for_o in_o matter_n of_o the_o church_n i_o do_v use_v that_o gentleman_n and_o if_o i_o be_v to_o begin_v the_o world_n again_o i_o will_v use_v he_o still_o hold_v he_o a_o very_a honest_a worthy_a man_n and_o i_o think_v there_o be_v some_o rectory_n or_o impropriation_n that_o the_o earl_n of_o cork_n have_v possession_n of_o which_o be_v restore_v to_o the_o church_n and_o it_o be_v of_o so_o small_a and_o trivial_a a_o value_n that_o they_o know_v not_o who_o to_o get_v to_o serve_v the_o cure_n and_o on_o that_o occasion_n this_o man_n be_v recommend_v to_o it_o and_o i_o think_v that_o if_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o be_v examine_v thirty_o pound_n a_o year_n will_v go_v far_o in_o his_o preferment_n and_o if_o such_o a_o

instead_o of_o this_o mr._n gwyn_n and_o your_o lordship_n may_v see_v a_o list_n of_o those_o i_o have_v prefer_v to_o the_o church_n of_o ireland_n and_o perhaps_o they_o may_v be_v know_v to_o
