the_o city_n whereof_o there_o be_v divers_a you_o shall_v hear_v the_o name_n out_o of_o the_o proof_n and_o the_o next_o be_v in_o their_o pretence_n as_o they_o give_v out_o member_n of_o the_o two_o house_n of_o parliament_n and_o the_o three_o sort_n be_v two_o gentleman_n master_n waller_n and_o a_o brother_n in_o law_n of_o he_o master_n tomkins_n that_o be_v to_o be_v agent_n betwixt_o the_o parliament_n and_o the_o city_n as_o they_o pretend_v then_o a_o four_o sort_n be_v those_o that_o be_v to_o be_v messenger_n to_o convey_v intelligence_n from_o this_o place_n to_o the_o court_n at_o oxford_n and_o to_o other_o place_n where_o there_o shall_v be_v occasion_n and_o then_o the_o five_o and_o last_o consist_v but_o in_o one_o man_n that_o we_o yet_o discover_v and_o that_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o falkland_n that_o keep_v correspondency_n with_o they_o from_o the_o court_n these_o be_v to_o be_v the_o actor_n in_o this_o mischievous_a design_n they_o begin_v then_o to_o think_v upon_o some_o other_o course_n of_o very_o great_a advantage_n to_o themselves_o the_o first_o be_v of_o combination_n how_o they_o may_v be_v more_o close_o conjoin_v one_o to_o

then_o there_o be_v a_o special_a obligation_n as_o be_v pretend_v by_o mr._n waller_n which_o he_o have_v make_v to_o those_o that_o he_o say_v be_v member_n of_o both_o house_n of_o parliament_n
