VVeb, a citizen, to the rest of his society, which did consist of [brace] citizen, malignants, papists, [double brace] priests, apprentices, wenches. At their common tavern meeting-house in Lincolnes Inne-fields. In which are many things very necessary to be observed, and of so great concernment, that if you will not believe, then take what followes: for now all is out.

i_o gentleman_n have_v i_o any_o other_o hope_n to_o rest_v on_o but_o we_o get_v it_o perfect_v and_o thousand_o of_o they_o print_v and_o it_o beguile_v the_o affection_n of_o many_o and_o be_v applaud_v and_o general_o among_o our_o brother_n malignant_n and_o newtral_n believe_v we_o scatter_v they_o about_o the_o palace_n at_o westminster_n about_o the_o hall_n and_o in_o the_o city_n and_o do_v it_o so_o cunning_o that_o we_o be_v none_o of_o we_o take_v only_o the_o printer_n be_v suspect_v and_o send_v for_o but_o we_o get_v he_o off_o because_o he_o so_o handsome_o feign_v the_o author_n thereof_o to_o be_v a_o particular_a man_n slip_v out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o so_o it_o be_v hush_v over_o than_o we_o fall_v to_o print_v of_o they_o again_o and_o get_v some_o spend_a money_n by_o they_o which_o have_v keep_v we_o ever_o since_o but_o here_o be_v a_o mischief_n fall_v out_o in_o this_o too_o for_o some_o cunning_a pate_n or_o other_o have_v put_v the_o same_o title_n upon_o a_o other_o pamphlet_n that_o discover_v all_o our_o knavery_n and_o do_v we_o as_o much_o hurt_n as_o our_o own_o do_v we_o good_a sure_o god_n be_v against_o we_o for_o we_o strive_v direct_o against_o the_o prescript_n rule_v i_o be_v teach_v in_o his_o holy_a word_n but_o let_v we_o not_o be_v weary_a but_o run_v till_o we_o come_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o race_n perhaps_o we_o may_v win_v the_o garland_n but_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o it_o be_v very_o unlikely_a i_o know_v you_o be_v not_o ignorant_a how_o my_o brother_n towler_n play_v bopeep_n with_o they_o when_o he_o run_v like_o a_o hunt_a hare_n be_v the_o more_o fearful_a because_o his_o conscience_n smite_v he_o for_o his_o knavery_n but_o he_o be_v take_v and_o carry_v to_o prison_n as_o well_o he_o deserve_v and_o my_o brother_n cheesmonger_n be_v as_o faithful_a as_o he_o for_o he_o have_v furnish_v his_o house_n with_o good_a store_n of_o ammunition_n for_o our_o design_n if_o ever_o we_o

all_o take_v and_o we_o deprive_v of_o he_o too_o afterward_o we_o write_v two_o pretend_v speech_n one_o of_o the_o earl_n of_o pembrokes_n the_o other_o the_o lord_n brooks_n and_o sell_v three_o time_n as_o many_o of_o they_o as_o of_o the_o former_a nay_o we_o forge_v the_o clerk_n of_o the_o parliament_n hand_n to_o it_o and_o a_o order_n for_o thanks_o be_v give_v to_o the_o lord_n brook_n for_o the_o same_o and_o this_o project_n take_v brave_o for_o there_o be_v thousand_o in_o the_o city_n do_v very_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v true_a but_o at_o last_o it_o be_v discern_v and_o the_o printer_n commit_v but_o this_o business_n pass_v well_o if_o may_v call_v it_o well_o be_v such_o a_o base_a action_n the_o cavalier_n by_o this_o time_n in_o the_o country_n be_v confident_a that_o we_o have_v make_v london_n our_o own_o and_o so_o we_o ourselves_o think_v too_o but_o that_o our_o conscience_n tell_v we_o that_o such_o course_n can_v never_o prosper_v they_o fall_v to_o pillage_n robe_v and_o kill_v the_o country_n protestant_n and_o harken_v daily_o when_o a_o opportunity_n will_v invite_v they_o to_o london_n but_o among_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o cavalier_n that_o

in_o the_o house_n who_o go_v to_o this_o village_n and_o give_v the_o people_n of_o the_o town_n notice_n thereof_o the_o cavalier_n not_o know_v hereof_o go_v upon_o their_o design_n and_o when_o

take_v sanctuary_n in_o the_o house_n and_o about_o twenty_o of_o the_o cavalier_n after_o ●er_n expect_v that_o they_o have_v get_v a_o prize_n but_o when_o they_o be_v come_v into_o he_o hall_n they_o find_v above_o forty_o good_a stout_a fellow_n that_o be_v ready_o provide_v for_o they_o who_o shut_v fast_o the_o door_n and_o cudgel_v they_o sound_o that_o they_o be_v not_o able_a neither_o to_o go_v nor_o stand_v so_o that_o they_o have_v little_a list_n afterward_o to_o wench_a the_o other_o twenty_o hear_v they_o cry_v out_o run_v all_o away_o fear_v they_o be_v betray_v for_o the_o least_o suspicion_n in_o the_o world_n fear_v a_o ill_a cause_n and_o about_o half_a a_o mile_n off_o they_o come_v to_o a_o farmer_n house_n which_o stand_v at_o the_o end_n of_o another_o little_a village_n where_o be_v no_o body_n at_o home_n but_o the_o good_a wife_n and_o her_o maid_n who_o see_v they_o come_v leave_v their_o dairy_n and_o go_v into_o the_o town_n the_o mean_a while_o the_o cavalier_n seize_v upon_o their_o buttermilk_n and_o curd_n and_o whey_n and_o cream_n and_o such_o white_a meat_n as_o be_v in_o the_o dairy-house_n where_o they_o fill_v their_o

their_o belly_n be_v so_o full_a they_o can_v scarce_o carry_v themselves_o at_o last_o the_o good_a wife_n be_v return_v with_o her_o maid_n and_o above_o forty_o woman_n with_o she_o for_o the_o

and_o so_o meet_v with_o most_o of_o they_o for_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o fly_v fast_o before_o they_o so_o that_o they_o be_v sound_o pay_v before_o they_o get_v to_o newarke_n and_o have_v

which_o he_o perform_v excellent_a well_o and_o indeed_o have_v many_o fell_a in_o to_o side_n with_o he_o as_o he_o think_v but_o one_o that_o know_v he_o who_o hate_v our_o base_a course_n take_v

we_o can_v lest_o he_o discover_v we_o and_o so_o we_o be_v all_o hang_v for_o abuse_v the_o king_n and_o parliament_n and_o indeed_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n we_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o care_n to_o take_v the_o opportunity_n of_o this_o day_n we_o have_v many_o scour_n and_o prevail_v with_o some_o common-counsell-man_n to_o be_v ready_a to_o assist_v we_o in_o the_o make_n of_o a_o

such_o care_n have_v we_o to_o make_v all_o thing_n sure_a that_o we_o go_v to_o the_o broker_n and_o hire_v gown_n that_o we_o may_v be_v entertain_v like_o common-council_n man_n of_o the_o city_n without_o suspicion_n and_o there_o we_o rush_v in_o and_o stand_v among_o they_o in_o our_o borrow_a gown_n i_o wonder_v indeed_o that_o the_o broker_n will_v trust_v we_o it_o may_v be_v that_o
