Although my Lord Protector I doubt not and the rest of the counsel do in the mean ⟨image 142⟩while all that lieth in them to redress things. I would such as be rulers,¹ noble men & masters should be at this point with their servants to certify them on this sort. If any man go about to do you wrong I will do my best to help you in your right. But if thou break the law thou shalt have justice. If ye will be manquellers, murderers, & transgressors, look for no bearing at my hands. A strange thing. What need we in the vengeance to burden our selves with other mens since? Have we not since inowe of our own? what need have I to burden my self with other mens since? I have burdens and .ii. heaps of since. One heap of ⟨image 142⟩known sins, an other of unknown since. I had need to say. Aboccultis meis munda me domine O Lord deliver me from my hidden and my unknown since,

Althoughe my Lord Protector I doubt not and the reste of the counsayle do in the meane ⟨image 142⟩whyle all that lyeth in theym to redresse thinges. I woulde such as be rulers,¹ noble men & maisters should be at this poynt wt their seruauntes to certify them on thys sort. If anye man go about to do you wrong I wyl do my best to helpe you in your right. But if thou breke the lawe thou shalte haue iustice. If ye wyll be manquellers, murderers, & transgressoures, loke for no bearynge at my handes. A straunge thynge. What nede wee in the vengaunce to burden oure selues wyth other mē nes synnes? Haue we not synnes inowe of oure owne? what neade haue I to burden my selfe wyth other mennes synnes? I haue burdens and .ii. heapes of synnes. One hepe of ⟨image 142⟩knowen sinnes, an other of vnknowen synnes. I hade nede to say. Aboccultis meis mūdame domine O Lorde deliuer me frō my hidden and my vnknowē synnes,
