grow_v good_a upon_o this_o business_n for_o now_o they_o all_o be_v stiff_a for_o the_o parliament_n then_o ever_o and_o now_o they_o see_v the_o parliament_n to_o be_v friend_n indeed_o to_o the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n the_o train_v band_n be_v mere_o delude_v for_o they_o be_v bring_v under_o a_o pretence_n to_o guard_v the_o king_n person_n and_o indeed_o they_o seize_v the_o siege_n for_o as_o we_o hear_v there_o be_v but_o threescore_o leave_v of_o one_o of_o the_o regiment_n and_o indeed_o if_o they_o have_v not_o have_v order_n they_o will_v all_o have_v go_v without_o order_n for_o they_o come_v not_o to_o fight_v against_o we_o nor_o to_o starve_v we_o and_o the_o quarrel_n grow_v so_o hot_a in_o the_o king_n army_n that_o the_o soldier_n beat_v the_o officer_n and_o they_o do_v cut_v and_o flash_v some_o of_o the_o popish_a captain_n thus_o the_o quarrel_n in_o the_o king_n army_n seize_v the_o siege_n york_n the_o 5_o the_o of_o august_n from_o hull_n the_o king_n have_v call_v all_o the_o country_n together_o both_o horse_n and_o foot_n desire_v the_o foot_n to_o lend_v he_o their_o arm_n and_o it_o shall_v excuse_v their_o service_n and_o desire_v the_o gentleman_n that_o have_v horse_n to_o lend_v money_n and_o that_o shall_v excuse_v their_o service_n but_o indeed_o i_o think_v both_o horse_n and_o foot_n be_v already_o so_o weary_a of_o the_o service_n that_o they_o will_v not_o stir_v and_o that_o be_v perceive_v by_o the_o king_n for_o we_o have_v a_o very_a small_a appearance_n i_o hope_v the_o time_n will_v mend_v present_o if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o horse_n and_o foot_n be_v come_v out_o of_o london_n yet_o some_o say_v the_o king_n will_v meet_v they_o with_o a_o great_a power_n i_o pray_v you_o pray_v for_o we_o i_o have_v stir_v nothing_o at_o all_o and_o i_o hope_v now_o it_o be_v as_o safe_a in_o hull_n as_o in_o any_o place_n other_o man_n have_v send_v out_o all_o and_o wife_n and_o barn_n and_o some_o be_v

sin_n be_v great_a therefore_o i_o do_v strive_v to_o do_v what_o i_o can_v for_o the_o cause_n of_o god_n and_o the_o country_n to_o redeem_v former_a neglect_n thus_o have_v not_o further_o but_o the_o lord_n god_n bless_v the_o king_n and_o keep_v his_o good_a heart_n from_o all_o false_a counsel_n and_o incline_v it_o to_o the_o parliament_n which_o i_o hold_v his_o best_a that_o he_o may_v enjoy_v the_o benefit_n and_o god_n the_o glory_n so_o have_v not_o further_o but_o to_o remember_v i_o to_o you_o and_o all_o you_o and_o thank_v you_o for_o your_o care_n and_o love_n towards_o i_o
