to_o be_v that_o the_o king_n shall_v have_v all_o the_o force_n that_o charles_n the_o second_o have_v in_o 80_o in_o england_n and_o these_o be_v not_o then_o here_o the_o holland_n regiment_n be_v

they_o and_o in_o all_o company_n say_v that_o any_o minister_n that_o advise_v the_o king_n to_o keep_v they_o up_o otherwise_o or_o any_o officer_n that_o continue_v his_o commission_n ought_v to_o be_v attaint_v of_o high_a treason_n about_o which_o i_o shall_v nor_o differ_v with_o these_o gentleman_n nor_o do_v i_o arraign_v they_o for_o alter_v their_o opinion_n for_o perhaps_o they_o may_v
