cannon_n play_v from_o the_o castle_n which_o will_v in_o probability_n either_o have_v break_v or_o disorder_v their_o several_a body_n before_o they_o can_v engage_v you_o see_v that_o i_o be_o

whether_o yet_o it_o appear_v by_o this_o true_a relation_n that_o the_o earl_n of_o manchester_n be_v more_o averse_a to_o the_o kingdom_n service_n than_o other_o man_n when_o either_o necessity_n or_o opportunity_n do_v require_v it_o the_o castle_n be_v relieve_v and_o the_o enemy_n retreat_v our_o commander_n in_o chief_a upon_o consultation_n resolve_v that_o night_n to_o send_v forth_o about_o 4000_o horse_n with_o some_o foot_n to_o fall_v upon_o the_o enemy_n rear_n so_o soon_o as_o the_o moon_n do_v arise_v hope_v by_o this_o mean_n to_o regain_v what_o we_o have_v lose_v the_o

the_o part_n adjacent_a i_o remember_v nothing_o of_o moment_n to_o be_v report_v but_o this_o one_o thing_n which_o if_o not_o right_o understand_v may_v occasion_n mistake_v no_o prejudice_n that_o whereas_o 3_o regiment_n of_o my_o lord_n foot_n be_v order_v to_o march_v unto_o basin_n to_o assist_v the_o horse_n in_o the_o service_n there_o they_o be_v command_v when_o on_o their_o march_n to_o return_v back_o according_a to_o the_o counsel_n of_o sir_n w._n waller_n and_o lieutenant_n general_n cromwell_n as_o they_o be_v go_v with_o my_o lord_n in_o his_o coach_n to_o aldermarston_n upon_o these_o ground_n as_o i_o be_v inform_v 1._o because_o there_o will_v not_o in_o likelihood_n be_v any_o need_n of_o that_o strength_n there_o at_o that_o time_n 2._o because_o their_o come_n thither_o will_v straighten_v the_o quarter_n of_o those_o who_o be_v already_o there_o and_o consequent_o make_v their_o continuance_n more_o uncomfortable_a when_o upon_o a_o alarm_n that_o the_o king_n whole_a army_n be_v on_o their_o march_n to_o relieve_v basing-house_n it_o be_v order_v that_o our_o force_n shall_v remove_v from_o newberry_n to_o join_v with_o our_o horse_n send_v to_o

but_o i_o have_v be_v tell_v again_o and_o again_o that_o the_o call_n off_o of_o our_o horse_n and_o foot_n from_o basin_n be_v from_o the_o order_n of_o a_o council_n of_o war_n no_o man_n desert_v and_o also_o that_o no_o man_n be_v more_o forward_o in_o give_v his_o vote_n for_o that_o order_n than_o lieutenant_n general_n cromwell_n this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o what_o i_o have_v to_o say_v concern_v the_o chief_a occurrence_n in_o our_o western_a expedition_n wherein_o though_o we_o have_v not_o such_o happy_a success_n as_o be_v desire_v and_o expect_v yet_o therein_o those_o acknowledge_v much_o of_o god_n goodness_n who_o do_v most_o exact_o observe_v his_o providence_n in_o our_o motion_n and_o adventure_n herein_o i_o have_v faithful_o according_a to_o my_o observation_n and_o best_a intelligence_n represent_v thing_n with_o special_a reference_n to_o my_o much_o honour_a lord_n because_o through_o misreport_n and_o misbelief_n his_o lordship_n be_v

load_n and_o wound_v his_o estimation_n among_o man_n do_v much_o afflict_v i_o yet_o i_o bless_v god_n the_o cause_n wherewith_o his_o lordship_n have_v be_v trust_v and_o wherein_o he_o have_v successful_o appear_v be_v much_o more_o deate_a and_o pretion_n yea_o if_o i_o know_v my_o own_o heart_n i_o will_v desert_v his_o lordship_n and_o myself_o also_o desert_v that_o glorious_a cause_n of_o jesus_n christ_n i_o well_o remember_v those_o word_n job_n 13.7_o will_v you_o speak_v wieked_o for_o god_n and_o talk_v deceitful_o for_o he_o and_o therefore_o i_o be_o awe_v with_o the_o

wherefore_o i_o shall_v once_o question_v his_o lordship_n sidelity_n to_o the_o cause_n of_o reformation_n and_o that_o service_n of_o the_o kingdom_n wherein_o he_o have_v be_v prosperous_o employ_v

solemn_o profess_v truth_n and_o strength_n of_o respect_n to_o his_o lordship_n rather_o have_v signify_v in_o private_a their_o suspicion_n of_o his_o faithfulness_n if_o they_o apprehend_v cause_n then_o proclaim_v to_o the_o world_n offence_n whereof_o he_o never_o hear_v may_v not_o his_o know_a meekness_n and_o sweetness_n of_o disposition_n have_v encourage_v they_o to_o perform_v this_o
