word_n of_o our_o own_o former_a confession_n and_o engagement_n unto_o duty_n to_o proclaim_v a_o judgement_n against_o the_o land_n till_o it_o be_v consusume_v without_o remedy_n we_o be_v therefore_o bold_a in_o the_o lord_n name_n to_o warn_v the_o honourable_a estate_n of_o parliament_n and_o all_o who_o it_o concern_v in_o the_o land_n that_o they_o may_v be_v far_o from_o such_o

and_o speedy_o and_o effectual_o to_o go_v about_o the_o remove_n and_o purge_v out_o from_o the_o army_n all_o man_n of_o a_o scandalous_a conversation_n and_o of_o questionable_a integrity_n and_o

against_o who_o he_o have_v a_o controversy_n it_o need_v not_o be_v matter_n of_o stumble_v or_o terror_n unto_o any_o that_o the_o army_n of_o sectary_n go_v mask_v under_o a_o vale_n of_o seem_a

of_o god_n in_o they_o it_o can_v but_o be_v much_o blast_v with_o the_o wind_n of_o their_o own_o vain_a invention_n and_o choke_v and_o keep_v down_o with_o the_o care_n of_o their_o corruption_n these_o who_o shall_v compare_v their_o proceed_n with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o solemn_a league_n and_o covenant_n or_o look_v to_o the_o effect_n that_o follow_v thereupon_o either_o
