part_n where_o it_o have_v be_v increase_v this_o earl_n have_v take_v the_o great_a share_v himself_o and_o when_o he_o have_v spoil_v and_o ravine_a on_o the_o people_n he_o have_v be_v content_a to_o yield_v up_o some_o part_n to_o the_o king_n that_o he_o may_v with_o more_o security_n enjoy_v the_o rest_n 4._o for_o the_o strength_n and_o honour_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o kingdom_n my_o lord_n in_o a_o time_n of_o peace_n he_o have_v let_v in_o upon_o we_o the_o calamity_n of_o war_n weakness_n shame_n and_o confusion_n 5._o and_o for_o the_o quiet_a of_o the_o subject_n he_o have_v

that_o see_v the_o parliament_n have_v not_o supply_v the_o king_n his_o majesty_n may_v take_v other_o course_n for_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o kingdom_n true_o my_o lord_n under_o favour_n who_o

i_o therefore_o help_v myself_o under_o favour_n i_o conceive_v there_o be_v no_o great_a weight_n nor_o crime_n in_o these_o word_n but_o in_o these_o likewise_o he_o stand_v a_o single_a testimony_n there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o join_v with_o he_o in_o it_o and_o there_o be_v this_o in_o the_o whole_a cause_n concern_v the_o word_n that_o i_o think_v there_o be_v not_o any_o one_o thing_n wherein_o two_o concur_v the_o next_o testimony_n be_v that_o of_o the_o earl_n of_o holland_n and_o he_o say_v that_o at_o the_o council-board_n i_o say_v the_o parliament_n have_v deny_v the_o

of_o the_o king_n can_v only_o walk_v in_o and_o in_o no_o other_o can_v he_o walk_v and_o therefore_o i_o conceive_v they_o be_v far_o from_o bring_v it_o to_o so_o high_a a_o guilt_n as_o treason_n

i_o conceive_v it_o be_v of_o very_o little_a moment_n in_o your_o lordship_n judgement_n my_o lord_n these_o be_v as_o near_o as_o i_o can_v gather_v all_o that_o be_v charge_v as_o unto_o word_n

any_o which_o under_o favour_n i_o conceive_v since_o all_o martial_a law_n be_v adjudge_v to_o be_v against_o the_o law_n i_o may_v be_v of_o another_o opinion_n but_o former_o conceive_v that_o that_o may_v have_v stand_v with_o the_o law_n i_o may_v say_v something_o more_o for_o the_o justification_n of_o it_o than_o now_o i_o do_v but_o hour_n i_o be_v no_o party_n they_o say_v he_o be_v
