rupert_n rather_o than_o that_o prince_n r._n be_v innocent_a of_o these_o outrage_n which_o have_v be_v commit_v in_o the_o country_n and_o therefore_o my_o lord_n wharton_n may_v be_v vindicate_v to_o have_v speak_v nothing_o but_o truth_n as_o become_v a_o noble_a man_n and_o that_o his_o lordship_n be_v so_o far_o from_o shun_v the_o meeting_n with_o he_o at_o keynton_n that_o if_o he_o have_v no_o modesty_n he_o dare_v tell_v he_o to_o his_o face_n that_o he_o be_v a_o plunder_v prince_n and_o will_v with_o his_o sword_n make_v proof_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o falsehood_n and_o forgery_n in_o his_o declaration_n publish_v to_o deceive_v who_o can_v be_v impose_v on_o by_o his_o flatter_a vindication_n which_o go_v forward_o thus_o nor_o can_v i_o blame_v his_o

they_o beat_v we_o at_o sherbourn_n cast_v it_o and_o at_o worcester_n prince_n rupert_n will_v here_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o our_o man_n be_v fainthearted_a but_o how_o can_v that_o appear_v for_o if_o action_n be●_n be_v the_o expression_n of_o the_o heart_n so_o many_o of_o their_o numerous_a great_a army_n have_v not_o be_v cut_v off_o if_o our_o man_n have_v not_o fight_v with_o undaunted_a resolution_n have_v a_o great_a odds_o in_o number_n to_o discourage_v they_o and_o therefore_o wherein_o do_v their_o faint-hartednesse_a consist_v or_o how_o can_v they_o be_v fainthearted_a for_o their_o cause_n that_o prince_n robert_n call_v bad_a be_v as_o good_a as_o right_o can_v make_v it_o they_o fight_v for_o religion_n the_o king_n and_o parl._n and_o the_o

papist_n and_o such_o as_o belong_v to_o their_o faction_n be_v the_o pope_n and_o bishop_n soldier_n rather_o than_o the_o king_n stand_v ready_a to_o play_v the_o bloody_a game_n of_o ware_n where_o

fainthearted_a no_o let_v prince_n rupert_n know_v that_o unless_o he_o will_v account_v it_o faintheartedness_n to_o charge_v upon_o the_o king_n army_n with_o undaunted_a courage_n to_o recover_v

at_o lest_o to_o make_v the_o earl_n of_o essex_n remain_v master_n of_o the_o field_n prince_n rupert_n may_v blush_v to_o steal_v a_o victory_n by_o his_o own_o report_n which_o the_o king_n army_n

and_o force_v to_o run_v from_o sherburne_n castle_n and_o worcester_n be_v most_o certain_o know_v to_o all_o soldier_n and_o therefore_o here_o do_v speak_v a_o know_a untruth_n that_o he_o may_v

for_o their_o plunder_v of_o house_n who_o have_v make_v the_o country_n look_v like_o a_o desolate_a wilderness_n house_n be_v pillage_v and_o break_v down_o and_o the_o people_n flee_v away_o be_v

one_o pocket_n be_v a_o booty_n of_o too_o small_a a_o value_n for_o such_o royal_a robber_n but_o that_o they_o have_v take_v 2_o or_o 3_o hundred_o pound_n from_o divers_a man_n as_o be_v manifest_o
