           being
           so
           ,
           he
           was

           His
           Majesties
           Pardon
           ,
           as
           he
           was
           confident
           that
           he
           had
           not
           given
           any
           occasion
           of
           offence
           to
           His
           Majesty
           ,
           so
           he
           needed
           not
           pardon
           ;
           that
           being
           a
           duty
           belonging

           such
           as
           themselves
           ;
           and
           he
           advised
           them
           to
           sue
           out
           a
           pardon
           with
           speed
           ,
           for
           feare
           
           that
           their
           offences
           being
           once
           knowne
           ,
           they
           prove
           impardonable
           ;
           for
           he
           doubted
           not
           but
           that
           in
           a
           short
           time
           His
           Majesty
           would
           finde
           who
           are
           his
           best
           friends
           .
           As
           for
           their
           fury
           ,
           he
           bade
           them
           spit
           their
           venome
           ;
           for
           he
           hoped
           that
           
             Northampton
          
           should
           be
           translated

             Warwick

           Having
           thus
           spoken
           ,
           they
           turned
           their
           horses
           ,
           and
           rode
           up
           to
           their
           Troops

           fairely
           wheeled
           about
