a_o faithful_a soldier_n or_o the_o speech_n of_o a_o private_a soldier_n concern_v his_o arrear_n and_o put_v the_o captain_z to_o death_n dedicate_v to_o parson_n peters_n second_o smith_n care_n harris_n curtis_n and_o to_o all_o the_o crew_n fellow_n soldier_n hear_v i_o a_o word_n or_o two_o i_o have_v somewhat_o to_o say_v which_o concern_v every_o man_n of_o we_o we_o hear_v they_o intend_v to_o put_v the_o king_n to_o death_n they_o know_v fellow_n soldier_n it_o be_v in_o our_o power_n to_o save_v his_o life_n for_o if_o we_o think_v fit_a to_o have_v he_o live_v neither_o council_n nor_o commissioner_n will_v dare_v to_o touch_v he_o and_o as_o our_o case_n yet_o stand_v i_o think_v we_o be_v stark_o mad_a if_o we_o suffer_v he_o to_o die_v for_o as_o yet_o they_o have_v not_o pay_v we_o our_o arrear_n and_o perhaps_o never_o will_v when_o the_o king_n be_v once_o dead_a they_o promise_v to_o pay_v we_o this_o day_n and_o that_o day_n but_o now_o they_o confess_v that_o indeed_o they_o dare_v not_o give_v we_o our_o arrear_n for_o they_o say_v if_o we_o soldier_n once_o have_v all_o our_o money_n we_o will_v soon_o disband_v and_o go_v home_o to_o our_o friend_n be_v this_o fair_a deal_v by_o this_o rule_n we_o must_v never_o have_v it_o for_o they_o can_v always_o say_v they_o dare_v not_o trust_v we_o this_o make_v they_o give_v we_o now_o and_o then_o a_o pittance_n which_o scarce_o keep_v life_n and_o soul_n together_o but_o for_o our_o arrear_n which_o be_v as_o true_o we_o as_o the_o clothes_n upon_o our_o back_n we_o may_v wait_v long_o enough_o for_o if_o the_o king_n be_v put_v to_o death_n there_o will_v be_v such_o weep_v such_o curse_v and_o rage_v all_o england_n will_v cry_v out_o and_o say_v o_o you_o bloody_a soldier_n have_v you_o murder_v our_o king_n you_o take_v oath_n and_o covenant_n to_o defend_v his_o person_n and_o now_o have_v you_o cut_v his_o throat_n true_o fellow_n soldier_n we_o be_v arrant_a fool_n to_o make_v the_o world_n hate_v we_o for_o kill_v the_o king_n and_o yet_o we_o not_o be_v one_o penny_n the_o better_a for_o it_o if_o we_o see_v cause_n we_o can_v any_o time_n hereafter_o take_v away_o his_o life_n when_o we_o have_v our_o arrear_n and_o thing_n be_v better_o settle_v but_o if_o now_o we_o shed_v his_o blood_n we_o can_v never_o make_v he_o alive_a again_o therefore_o before_o we_o do_v that_o which_o can_v never_o be_v undo_v let_v we_o soldier_n make_v our_o best_a use_n of_o it_o let_v we_o declare_v that_o until_o they_o pay_v we_o all_o our_o arrear_n they_o shall_v not_o put_v the_o king_n to_o death_n let_v we_o do_v this_o and_o on_o my_o life_n it_o will_v bring_v in_o every_o penny_n of_o our_o money_n you_o shall_v see_v they_o will_v strive_v who_o shall_v first_o pay_v we_o those_o that_o be_v so_o hot_a to_o have_v the_o king_n blood_n will_v pay_v we_o rather_o than_o let_v he_o live_v and_o those_o who_o be_v his_o friend_n will_v give_v we_o any_o thing_n rather_o than_o let_v he_o die_v my_o landlord_n tell_v i_o that_o if_o we_o soldier_n will_v save_v the_o king_n life_n which_o we_o can_v easy_o do_v the_o king_n friend_n will_v pay_v we_o all_o our_o arrear_n and_o give_v we_o 200000_o l._n as_o a_o gratuity_n beside_o he_o bid_v we_o name_v our_o sum_n and_o it_o shall_v be_v pay_v we_o down_o upon_o the_o nail_n and_o why_o fellow_n soldier_n shall_v we_o refuse_v this_o now_o be_v the_o time_n for_o when_o the_o king_n be_v dead_a they_o will_v not_o give_v we_o twopence_n we_o know_v the_o scot_n will_v not_o part_v with_o the_o king_n until_o they_o have_v their_o 200000_o l._n and_o be_v not_o our_o arrear_n as_o due_a as_o they_o nay_o when_o the_o parliament_n get_v the_o king_n they_o will_v have_v keep_v he_o have_v not_o we_o resolute_o fetch_v he_o from_o holdenby_n yet_o while_o they_o have_v he_o they_o grow_v so_o high_a that_o they_o offer_v to_o disband_v we_o without_o pay_v all_o arrear_n then_o we_o get_v the_o king_n and_o while_o we_o use_v he_o civil_o all_o england_n be_v for_o we_o who_o then_o but_o the_o army_n the_o king_n and_o the_o army_n be_v in_o every_o man_n mouth_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o clap_v he_o in_o carisbrook_n castle_n and_o suffer_v none_o to_o make_v address_n to_o he_o than_o all_o the_o kingdom_n cry_v out_o upon_o the_o army_n each_o county_n begin_v to_o rise_v upon_o we_o you_o know_v what_o work_n we_o have_v in_o wales_n kent_z essex_n twenty_o thousand_o scot_n pour_v in_o upon_o we_o who_o if_o they_o have_v but_o the_o twenty_o part_n of_o our_o english_a courage_n we_o have_v find_v a_o hard_a task_n of_o it_o so_o still_o you_o see_v the_o king_n be_v all_o in_o all_o whoever_o get_v the_o king_n have_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n in_o all_o our_o quarter_n and_o wherever_o we_o march_v you_o hear_v the_o people_n still_o call_v for_o their_o king_n if_o they_o hate_v we_o and_o fight_v with_o we_o for_o keep_v he_o in_o prison_n how_o will_v they_o rage_v when_o they_o see_v we_o cut_v his_o throat_n think_v you_o that_o then_o they_o will_v pay_v we_o our_o arrear_n i_o say_v fellow_n soldier_n we_o be_v all_o stark_a mad_a if_o we_o let_v the_o king_n die_v till_o we_o have_v our_o money_n but_o perhaps_o some_o will_v say_v that_o the_o council_n of_o war_n do_v not_o hinder_v our_o arrear_n that_o they_o be_v officer_n and_o will_v be_v as_o glad_a of_o their_o money_n as_o we_o will_v i_o confess_v indeed_o some_o officer_n will_v for_o some_o be_v in_o the_o same_o case_n with_o we_o but_o the_o chief_a commander_n and_o the_o grandee_n be_v of_o another_o mind_n they_o have_v all_o at_o command_n sequestration_n office_n parliament_n and_o all_o lieutenant-general_n cromwell_n have_v many_o thousand_o pound_n a_o year_n of_o the_o earl_n of_o worcester_n estate_n they_o can_v pay_v themselves_o but_o when_o will_v they_o pay_v we_o they_o make_v the_o parliament_n vote_n what_o they_o please_v nay_o fellow_n soldier_n when_o we_o take_v the_o money_n from_o weaver_n hall_n the_o council_n of_o war_n refuse_v to_o let_v we_o have_v it_o but_o vote_v forsooth_o to_o send_v it_o to_o the_o navy_n he_o that_o write_v the_o occurrence_n say_v so_o in_o print_n and_o the_o other_o day_n they_o and_o the_o house_n vote_v 200000_o l._n more_o for_o the_o navy_n they_o know_v the_o seaman_n can_v pay_v themselves_o they_o have_v ship_n in_o their_o power_n as_o we_o now_o have_v the_o king_n in_o our_o power_n and_o shall_v we_o serve_v they_o as_o the_o seaman_n serve_v they_o perhaps_o than_o we_o may_v have_v our_o arrear_n but_o if_o at_o any_o time_n we_o ask_v for_o money_n mr._n peter_n be_v hire_v to_o stop_v our_o mouth_n that_o fellow_n have_v cozen_v we_o i_o know_v not_o how_o often_o and_o by_o my_o consent_n when_o next_o he_o come_v let_v we_o clap_v he_o neck_n and_o heel_n he_o say_v they_o will_v pay_v we_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o come_v to_o london_n but_o here_o we_o have_v wait_v two_o month_n long_o yet_o no_o arrear_n then_o they_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o parliament_n be_v full_a of_o rot_a member_n and_o the_o house_n must_v be_v purge_v ere_o we_o can_v be_v pay_v i_o think_v we_o give_v it_o a_o sufficient_a purge_n we_o imprison_v and_o drive_v away_o so_o many_o member_n that_o we_o have_v not_o leave_v above_o fifty_o or_o threescore_o not_o a_o member_n sit_v now_o but_o such_o as_o our_o council_n of_o war_n approve_v of_o and_o both_o they_o and_o our_o council_n have_v sit_v seven_o week_n yet_o no_o arrear_n alas_o fellow_n soldier_n these_o be_v all_o trick_n mere_a trick_n they_o can_v never_o want_v such_o excuse_n as_o these_o and_o if_o now_o we_o let_v they_o take_v the_o king_n and_o put_v he_o to_o death_n we_o may_v go_v whistle_n for_o our_o arrear_n but_o suppose_v now_o we_o have_v our_o arrear_n which_o we_o be_v not_o like_a if_o we_o lose_v this_o opportunity_n be_v we_o the_o better_a for_o this_o king_n death_n when_o he_o be_v go_v either_o we_o must_v have_v another_o king_n or_o a_o new_a kind_n of_o government_n and_o this_o new_a government_n will_v be_v either_o a_o parliament_n or_o a_o committee_n or_o many_o king_n at_o once_o for_o parliament_n and_o committee_n we_o know_v how_o they_o have_v use_v we_o they_o vote_v and_o gather_v up_o wealth_n for_o themselves_o but_o let_v we_o bleed_v and_o starve_v sink_v or_o swim_v all_o be_v one_o to_o they_o and_o for_o many_o king_n at_o once_o they_o say_v that_o
