this_o nature_n he_o desire_v also_o your_o lordship_n to_o remember_v that_o he_o be_v descend_v from_o a_o honourable_a family_n and_o that_o his_o ancestor_n be_v very_o worthy_a and_o very_a

from_o the_o honour_n of_o his_o family_n but_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o we_o shall_v desire_v your_o lordship_n to_o consider_v that_o this_o noble_a lord_n however_o he_o be_v please_v to_o disow_v it_o at_o present_a be_v notorious_o know_v to_o be_v a_o roman_n catholic_n as_o they_o call_v themselves_o and_o such_o we_o conceive_v we_o have_v sufficient_o prove_v he_o to_o be_v in_o the_o

or_o persuasion_n whatsoever_o and_o if_o the_o zeal_n of_o this_o noble_a lord_n do_v engage_v he_o to_o endeavour_v the_o establishment_n of_o that_o religion_n in_o this_o kingdom_n we_o may_v easy_o believe_v that_o his_o reason_n do_v suggest_v to_o he_o the_o mean_n by_o which_o it_o must_v be_v effect_v which_o can_v be_v no_o other_o but_o blood_n and_o confusion_n my_o lord_n the_o

this_o noble_a lord_n do_v upon_o this_o occasion_n full_o own_o and_o i_o much_o commend_v his_o ingenuity_n in_o it_o the_o reality_n of_o the_o gun_n powder_n treason_n since_o we_o know_v how_o much_o that_o party_n have_v endeavour_v to_o render_v it_o incredible_a and_o as_o length_n of_o time_n have_v so_o full_o manifest_v the_o particular_n of_o that_o execrable_a design_n that_o it_o have_v bring_v such_o as_o be_v of_o that_o persuasion_n to_o confess_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o so_o we_o hope_v this_o day_n trial_n will_v convince_v both_o the_o age_n we_o live_v in_o and_o all_o posterity_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o reality_n of_o this_o present_a conspiracy_n but_o to_o go_v on_o with_o that_o point_n from_o which_o i_o do_v digress_v i_o be_o not_o i_o confess_v much_o verse_v in_o the_o canon_n and_o council_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o my_o lord_n this_o i_o know_v the_o most_o famous_a and_o celebrate_a writer_n of_o that_o church_n especial_o of_o the_o society_n of_o the_o jesuit_n have_v public_o avow_v and_o maintain_v this_o doctrine_n and_o we_o know_v in_o all_o time_n when_o there_o have_v be_v occasion_n to_o put_v it_o in_o practice_n it_o have_v never_o fail_v to_o have_v be_v attempt_v and_o we_o likewise_o know_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o the_o pope_n have_v always_o avow_v the_o act_n when_o they_o have_v be_v do_v from_o all_o which_o we_o may_v very_o reasonable_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o that_o church_n so_o to_o do_v but_o my_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o say_v and_o admit_v for_o

of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o leave_v this_o point_n of_o doctrine_n in_o some_o measure_n undetermined_a that_o so_o they_o may_v make_v use_n of_o it_o as_o the_o occasion_n serve_v for_o if_o it_o succeed_v than_o it_o be_v own_v and_o justify_v if_o it_o miscarry_v than_o the_o doctrine_n be_v but_o a_o private_a opinion_n and_o the_o plot_n but_o the_o practice_n of_o particular_a person_n that_o be_v either_o desperate_a or_o discontent_a and_o i_o be_o full_o of_o opinion_n that_o this_o horrid_a conspiracy_n which_o be_v bring_v this_o day_n in_o judgement_n before_o your_o

after_o have_v require_v from_o he_o all_o possible_a obligation_n of_o secrecy_n he_o tell_v he_o plain_o what_o great_a benefit_n will_v accrue_v to_o himself_o and_o what_o advantage_n to_o the_o
