in_o respect_n of_o the_o king_n your_o master_n you_o must_v be_v very_o wary_a that_o you_o give_v he_o true_a information_n and_o if_o the_o matter_n concern_v he_o in_o his_o government_n that_o you_o do_v not_o flatter_v he_o if_o you_o do_v you_o be_v as_o great_a a_o traitor_n to_o he_o in_o the_o court_n of_o heaven_n as_o he_o that_o draw_v his_o sword_n against_o he_o and_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o suitor_n which_o shall_v attend_v you_o there_o be_v nothing_o will_v bring_v you_o more_o honour_n and_o more_o ease_n then_o to_o do_v they_o what_o right_o in_o justice_n you_o may_v and_o with_o as_o much_o speed_n as_o you_o may_v for_o believe_v it_o sir_n next_o to_o the_o obtain_n of_o the_o suit_n a_o speedy_a and_o a_o gentle_a denial_n when_o the_o case_n will_v not_o bear_v it_o be_v the_o most_o acceptable_a to_o suitor_n they_o will_v gain_v by_o their_o dispatch_n whereas_o else_o they_o shall_v spend_v their_o time_n and_o money_n in_o attend_v and_o you_o will_v gain_v in_o the_o ease_n you_o will_v find_v in_o be_v rid_v of_o their_o importunity_n but_o if_o they_o obtain_v what_o they_o reasonable_o desire_v they_o will_v be_v double_o bind_v

to_o do_v this_o with_o the_o best_a advantage_n my_o humble_a advice_n be_v this_o when_o suitor_n come_v unto_o you_o set_z apart_z a_o certain_a hour_n in_o a_o day_n to_o give_v they_o audience_n if_o the_o business_n be_v light_a and_o easy_a it_o may_v by_o word_n only_o be_v deliver_v and_o in_o a_o word_n be_v answer_v but_o if_o it_o be_v either_o of_o weight_n or_o of_o difficulty_n direct_v the_o suitor_n to_o commit_v it_o to_o writing_n if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o already_o and_o then_o direct_v he_o to_o attend_v for_o his_o answer_n at_o a_o set_a time_n to_o be_v appoint_v which_o will_v constant_o be_v observe_v unless_o some_o matter_n of_o great_a moment_n do_v interrupt_v it_o when_o you_o have_v receive_v the_o petition_n and_o it_o will_v please_v the_o petitioner_n well_o to_o have_v access_n unto_o you_o to_o deliver_v they_o into_o your_o own_o hand_n let_v your_o secretary_n first_o read_v they_o and_o draw_v line_n under_o the_o material_a part_n thereof_o for_o the_o matter_n for_o the_o most_o part_n lie_v in_o a_o narrow_a room_n the_o petition_n be_v thus_o prepare_v do_v you_o constant_o set_v apart_o a_o hour_n in_o a_o day_n to_o peruse_v those_o petition_n and_o after_o you_o have_v rank_v they_o into_o several_a file_n according_a to_o the_o subject_a matter_n make_v choice_n of_o two_o or_o three_o friend_n who_o judgement_n and_o fidelity_n you_o believe_v you_o may_v trust_v in_o a_o business_n of_o that_o nature_n and_o recommend_v it_o to_o one_o or_o more_o of_o they_o to_o inform_v you_o of_o their_o opinion_n and_o of_o their_o reason_n for_o or_o against_o the_o grant_n of_o it_o and_o if_o the_o matter_n be_v of_o great_a weight_n indeed_o than_o it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o send_v several_a copy_n of_o the_o same_o petition_n to_o several_a of_o your_o friend_n the_o one_o not_o know_v what_o the_o other_o do_v and_o desire_v they_o to_o return_v their_o answer_n to_o you_o by_o a_o certain_a time_n to_o be_v prefix_v in_o write_v so_o shall_v you_o receive_v a_o impartial_a answer_n and_o by_o compare_v the_o one_o with_o the_o other_o you_o shall_v both_o discern_v the_o ability_n and_o faithfulness_n of_o your_o friend_n and_o be_v able_a to_o give_v a_o judgement_n thereupon_o as_o a_o oracle_n but_o by_o no_o mean_n trust_v not_o to_o your_o own_o judgement_n alone_o for_o no_o man_n be_v omniscient_a nor_o trust_v only_o to_o your_o servant_n who_o may_v mislead_v you_o or_o mis-inform_a you_o by_o which_o they_o may_v perhaps_o gain_v a_o few_o crown_n but_o the_o reproach_n will_v lie_v upon_o yourself_o if_o it_o be_v not_o right_o carry_v for_o the_o facilitate_v of_o your_o dispatch_n my_o advice_n be_v further_a that_o you_o divide_v all_o the_o petition_n and_o the_o matter_n therein_o contain_v under_o several_a head_n which_o i_o conceive_v may_v be_v fit_o rank_v into_o these_o eight_o sort_n 1._o matter_n that_o concern_v

recover_v spirit_n and_o contest_v afresh_o against_o the_o unreasonable_a transport_n violence_n and_o immoderation_n of_o some_o profess_v to_o be_v protestant_n who_o to_o avoid_v idolatry_n and_o

〈◊〉_d excessive_a antipathy_n to_o papist_n possible_o the_o archbishop_n and_o some_o other_o bishop_n of_o his_o mind_n do_v right_o judge_v that_o the_o give_v of_o a_o enemy_n fair_a play_n by_o just_a safe_a &_o honourable_a concession_n be_v not_o to_o yield_v the_o conquest_n to_o he_o but_o the_o most_o ready_a way_n to_o convince_v he_o of_o his_o weakness_n when_o no_o honest_a yield_n can_v help_v he_o any_o more_o than_o they_o do_v endanger_v the_o true_a cause_n or_o courage_n of_o his_o antagonist_n for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v the_o archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n be_v neither_o calvinist_n nor_o lutheran_n nor_o papist_n as_o to_o any_o side_n or_o party_n but_o all_o so_o far_o as_o he_o see_v they_o agree_v with_o the_o reform_a church_n of_o england_n either_o
