that_o if_o their_o success_n shall_v prove_v in_o any_o measure_n answerable_a to_o their_o confidence_n the_o public_a may_v have_v be_v no_o far_o importune_v about_o the_o matter_n i_o think_v i_o

what_o they_o be_v to_o do_v we_o know_v their_o usual_a commission_n be_v to_o kill_v and_o slay_v but_o where_o be_v the_o enemy_n man_n talk_v of_o this_o with_o as_o much_o certainty_n as_o if_o

therefore_o that_o all_o this_o be_v practice_n and_o that_o these_o bold_a forestaller_n of_o parliament_n will_v fain_o enact_v that_o without_o door_n which_o from_o the_o foundation_n of_o this_o

to_o overaw_v the_o parliament_n and_o nation_n to_o make_v edict_n to_o be_v law_n to_o force_v upon_o the_o people_n vast_a number_n of_o excise_n and_o in_o short_a to_o overturn_v the_o whole_a

of_o our_o native_a liberty_n freedom_n from_o martial_a law_n and_o billete_n of_o soldier_n and_o thereby_o direct_o to_o take_v away_o from_o themselves_o as_o well_o as_o from_o their_o
