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

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

short_a answer_n to_o every_o one_o of_o they_o 1._o for_o religion_n my_o lord_n we_o say_v and_o we_o shall_v prove_v that_o he_o have_v be_v diligent_a indeed_o to_o favour_v innovation_n to_o favour_v superstition_n to_o favour_v the_o encroachment_n and_o usurpation_n of_o the_o clergy_n but_o for_o religion_n it_o never_o receive_v any_o advantage_n by_o he_o nay_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o hurt_n 2._o for_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o king_n my_o lord_n we_o say_v it_o be_v the_o honour_n of_o the_o king_n that_o he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o his_o people_n that_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o justice_n and_o it_o can_v stand_v with_o his_o honour_n and_o justice_n to_o have_v his_o government_n stain_v and_o pollute_v with_o tyranny_n and_o oppression_n 3._o for_o the_o increase_n of_o his_o revenue_n it_o be_v true_a there_o may_v be_v some_o addition_n of_o sum_n but_o we_o say_v there_o be_v no_o addition_n of_o strength_n nor_o wealth_n because_o in_o those_o 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 be_v a_o incendiary_n he_o have_v arm_v we_o among_o ourselves_o and_o make_v we_o weak_a and_o naked_a to_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o this_o be_v that_o i_o shall_v answer_v to_o the_o second_o head_n of_o his_o apology_n 3._o the_o three_o be_v
this_o my_o lord_n that_o by_o his_o mean_n many_o good_a and_o wholesome_a law_n have_v be_v make_v since_o his_o government_n in_o ireland_n true_o my_o lord_n if_o we_o shall_v consider_v the_o

of_o truth_n that_o be_v the_o reason_n 6._o he_o say_v in_o the_o six_o place_n he_o have_v no_o other_o commission_n but_o what_o his_o predecessor_n have_v and_o that_o he_o have_v execute_v that_o

second_o part_n his_o moderation_n when_o you_o find_v so_o many_o imprison_v of_o the_o nobility_n so_o many_o man_n some_o adjudge_v to_o death_n some_o execute_v without_o law_n when_o you_o find_v
