if_o all_o fail_v they_o will_v make_v a_o division_n in_o the_o army_n and_o join_v with_o any_o who_o will_v assist_v they_o in_o the_o destruction_n of_o those_o that_o shall_v oppose_v they_o that_o cromwell_n and_o ireton_n argue_v thus_o if_o the_o army_n divide_v the_o great_a part_n will_v join_v with_o the_o presbyter_n and_o will_v in_o all_o likelihood_n prevail_v to_o our_o ruin_n by_o force_v we_o to_o make_v our_o application_n to_o the_o king_n wherein_o we_o shall_v rather_o beg_v than_o offer_v any_o assistance_n which_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v give_v and_o afterward_o have_v the_o good_a fortune_n to_o prevail_v if_o he_o shall_v then_o pardon_v we_o it_o will_v be_v all_o we_o can_v pretend_v and_o more_o than_o we_o can_v certain_o promise_v to_o ourselves_o thereupon_o conclude_v that_o if_o they_o can_v not_o bring_v the_o army_n to_o their_o sense_n that_o it_o be_v best_a to_o comply_v with_o they_o a_o schism_n be_v utter_o destructive_a to_o both_o
