           I
           told
           him
           that
           was
           the
           next
           way
           to
           overthrow

           would
           not
           heare
           ,
           so
           I
           view'd

           my selfe
           ,

           fit
           for
           offence
           and
           defence

             viz.
          
           Sir
           
             Will.

           and
           the
           Towne
           ,
           which
           after
           all
           I
           retreated
           unto

           but
           hee

           The

           which
           we
           suspect
           fell

           doubt
           how
           matters
           would
           stand
           if
           we

           and
           his
           Lordship
           wanting

           excommunicate
           by

           and
           therefore
           thought
           of
           a
           sudden
           departure
           ,
           principally
           because
           there
           came
           a
           messenger

           departure
           ,
           which
           emboldened
           them
           to
           bring
           downe
           the
