so_o appear_v for_o his_o faithful_a one_o already_o give_v we_o much_o ground_n of_o confidence_n that_o he_o will_v not_o forsake_v we_o nor_o his_o own_o cause_n which_o be_v the_o deliverance_n of_o his_o people_n the_o advancement_n of_o justice_n and_o the_o punishment_n of_o malicious_a offender_n and_o we_o be_v persuade_v of_o you_o also_o tha●_n you_o will_v not_o be_v want_v to_o do_v

not_o be_v easy_o alter_v the_o cross_v of_o which_o add_v so_o much_o to_o our_o sorrow_n as_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o express_v and_o also_o by_o this_o mean_v a_o horrid_a contradiction_n be_v

he_o and_o deceive_v the_o people_n if_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v just_o charge_v upon_o he_o as_o in_o honour_n to_o the_o parliament_n we_o believe_v they_o be_v oh_o how_o dare_v our_o parliament_n think_v of_o treat_v with_o such_o a_o man_n and_o that_o which_o also_o melt_v our_o very_a soul_n be_v the_o much_o blood_n already_o spill_v and_o yet_o we_o like_v to_o return_v into_o our_o former_a slavery_n this_o be_v intolerable_a and_o that_o which_o leave_v we_o without_o all_o hope_n be_v this_o we_o see_v the_o parliament_n intend_v not_o any_o more_o to_o hear_v our_o cry_n but_o do_v lay_v aside_o all_o our_o petition_n and_o though_o they_o burn_v they_o not_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o common_a hangman_n yet_o they_o make_v we_o hang_v in_o torment_n between_o hope_n and_o fear_n and_o so_o we_o be_v like_a to_o do_v if_o this_o honourable_a army_n help_v we_o not_o do_v you_o not_o lay_v it_o to_o heart_n how_o many_o noble_a and_o yet_o humble_a petition_n they_o have_v lay_v aside_o as_o that_o from_o the_o faith_n full_a citizen_n of_o london_n that_o from_o the_o town_n and_o county_n of_o york_n that_o from_o kingston_n upon_o hull_n and_o that_o wellgrounded_n and_o reasonable_a petition_n from_o the_o town_n and_o county_n of_o leicester_n and_o many_o other_o to_o the_o same_o effect_n thus_o many_o man_n desire_n all_o man_n good_a be_v lay_v aside_o to_o feed_v some_o wicked_a man_n humour_n oh_o for_o god_n sake_n lie_v these_o thing_n to_o heart_n and_o further_o that_o which_o vex_v our_o heart_n and_o thousand_o righteous_a soul_n of_o the_o commons_o of_o england_n be_v that_o still_o our_o worthy_n be_v private_o murder_v and_o all_o our_o ruin_n plot_v as_o appear_v by_o a_o libel_n scatter_v abroad_o our_o county_n and_o as_o you_o may_v see_v threaten_v the_o destruction_n of_o those_o honest_a gentleman_n that_o be_v force_v to_o leave_v the_o parliament_n house_n and_o fly_v to_o the_o army_n and_o also_o they_o of_o the_o army_n which_o engage_v at_o newmarket_n and_o further_o when_o we_o see_v the_o freedom_n of_o the_o people_n and_o the_o security_n of_o all_o the_o parliament_n soldiery_n depend_v upon_o the_o consent_n of_o a_o king_n who_o they_o have_v conquer_v and_o this_o security_n to_o be_v for_o year_n and_o if_o the_o militia_n be_v intayled_a to_o the_o crown_n then_o if_o the_o king_n thy_fw-mi before_o these_o year_n be_v expire_v it_o must_v be_v return_v to_o the_o crown_n again_o for_o the_o father_n can_v give_v away_o the_o son_n inheritance_n whereas_o if_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o have_v declare_v themselves_o the_o supreme_a authority_n of_o the_o nation_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v our_o security_n have_v be_v firm_a and_o further_o it_o may_v be_v just_o conceive_v that_o what_o thing_n be_v do_v by_o constraint_n be_v void_a in_o law_n and_o conclude_v by_o the_o king_n party_n that_o whatsoever_o he_o sign_n be_v do_v by_o constraint_n what_o shall_v hinder_v he_o be_v once_o impower_v to_o urge_v the_o letter_n of_o the_o law_n against_o the_o parliament_n and_o all_o that_o adhere_v unto_o they_o to_o their_o utter_a ruin_n and_o if_o the_o king_n can_v raise_v so_o great_a a_o army_n when_o he_o be_v in_o carisbrook_n castle_n what_o will_v he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v when_o he_o come_v to_o london_n among_o his_o now_o desparadoe_n may_v he_o not_o easy_o gain_v the_o militia_n in_o one_o month_n and_o overturn_v all_o that_o have_v be_v accomplish_v with_o so_o much_o difficulty_n and_o now_o if_o you_o and_o the_o well-affected_n in_o the_o army_n do_v forsake_v we_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o help_n of_o man_n we_o be_v utter_o undo_v and_o pardon_v we_o if_o we_o say_v we_o fear_v god_n will_v forsake_v you_o and_o let_v you_o fall_v by_o those_o hand_n in_o which_o you_o leave_v we_o these_o be_v some_o of_o those_o sorrow_n in_o which_o we_o must_v sink_v or_o resolve_v to_o take_v some_o more_o noble_a course_n even_o to_o defend_v ourselves_o by_o our_o sword_n judge_v it_o far_o better_a to_o die_v honourable_o in_o the_o field_n in_o one_o hour_n than_o to_o live_v
