           the

           that
           he

           be
           spent

           so
           great
           a
           pressure

           was
           willing
           his
           Lordship
           should
           take
           what
           provision
           the
           Countrey
           would
           afford
           for
           his
           present
           maintenance

             but
             my

           I
           think

           done
           my
           duty
           ;
           but
           I
           must
           do
           as
           I
           may
           ,
           if
           I

           no
           wonder
           at
           all
           ,
           If
           I
           had
           procured
           from
           
             London
          
           some
           goodness
           ,
           that
           might
           have
           been
           acceptable
           to
           your
           
             Majesty

           whereupon
           the
           King
           smiled
           ,

             ,
          
           but
           I
           never
           thought
