a_o copy_n of_o a_o letter_n write_v from_o sergeant_n major_a kirle_n to_o a_o friend_n in_o windsor_n sir_n you_o be_v please_v to_o command_v a_o constant_a account_n from_o i_o as_o the_o only_a requital_n you_o will_v receive_v for_o admit_v i_o a_o officer_n in_o the_o parliament_n army_n and_o though_o divers_a thing_n have_v come_v from_o we_o which_o have_v be_v either_o doubt_v or_o

that_o with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o confidence_n you_o may_v report_v both_o in_o public_a to_o the_o house_n and_o in_o private_a to_o my_o friend_n that_o i_o be_o now_o at_o oxford_n nor_o shall_v your_o wonder_n last_o long_o for_o by_o that_o time_n i_o have_v declare_v upon_o what_o ground_n at_o first_o i_o undertake_v that_o service_n and_o upon_o what_o reason_n i_o have_v since_o desert_v it_o i_o shall_v without_o doubt_n where_o there_o be_v charity_n or_o reason_n free_v myself_o from_o the_o imputation_n of_o dishonour_n and_o undeceive_v other_o that_o be_v as_o i_o be_v

without_o vanity_n say_v i_o do_v nothing_o to_o the_o dishonour_n of_o my_o own_o as_o this_o absence_n make_v i_o ignorant_a of_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o kingdom_n so_o it_o render_v i_o more_o

i_o see_v the_o complaint_n remain_v but_o do_v not_o know_v that_o the_o cause_n be_v take_v away_o thus_o possess_v with_o prejudice_n it_o be_v no_o hard_a thing_n for_o i_o to_o believe_v that_o the_o pretence_n of_o the_o war_n in_o themselves_o so_o specious_a and_o the_o employment_n therein_o to_o be_v full_a of_o honour_n justice_n and_o piety_n and_o that_o there_o need_v not_o the_o importunity_n of_o my_o near_a friend_n or_o a_o argument_n from_o the_o necessity_n their_o former_a severity_n have_v cast_v upon_o i_o nor_o a_o invitation_n from_o yourself_o to_o seek_v for_o the_o preferment_n you_o speedy_o procure_v i_o how_o have_v i_o behave_v myself_o while_o i_o be_v of_o your_o mind_n and_o in_o that_o service_n will_v be_v best_a judge_v by_o those_o that_o know_v that_o from_o a_o lieutenant_n i_o be_v soon_o prefer_v to_o be_v captain_n of_o a_o troop_n raise_v to_o my_o hand_n and_o short_o after_o to_o be_v sergeant_n major_a to_o the_o earl_n of_o

the_o thanks_o i_o receive_v from_o you_o it_o be_v not_o therefore_o necessity_n have_v make_v i_o leave_v you_o to_o go_v to_o the_o king_n from_o who_o you_o have_v take_v not_o only_o his_o
