propound_v to_o you_o and_o to_o procure_v your_o right_n as_o you_o be_v soldier_n effectual_o thus_o you_o may_v observe_v the_o strange_a unconstancy_n of_o those_o that_o will_v obstruct_v our_o

to_o disband_v according_a to_o the_o parliament_n order_n and_o at_o last_o they_o confess_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n be_v the_o more_o wonderful_a because_o those_o resolution_n to_o stand_v for_o freedom_n and_o justice_n begin_v among_o the_o soldier_n only_o and_o yet_o now_o they_o will_v affright_v you_o from_o such_o act_n by_o tell_v you_o it_o be_v disobedience_n to_o the_o general_n command_n and_o distemper_n and_o mutiny_n these_o be_v the_o word_n of_o that_o faction_n in_o parliament_n which_o oppose_v you_o before_o and_o you_o may_v consider_v that_o you_o have_v do_v as_o much_o service_n for_o the_o people_n by_o disobedience_n to_o the_o parliament_n as_o ever_o you_o do_v by_o obedience_n if_o you_o have_v fulfil_v your_o declaration_n and_o engagement_n which_o you_o then_o pass_v as_o for_o the_o month_n pay_v if_o it_o come_v you_o may_v consider_v it_o be_v but_o your_o due_n and_o yet_o we_o believe_v none_o have_v be_v procure_v for_o you_o unless_o we_o have_v thus_o appear_v and_o if_o any_o declaration_n or_o proposition_n about_o pay_n or_o arrear_n be_v offer_v to_o you_o remember_v you_o have_v be_v feed_v with_o paper_n too_o long_o we_o desire_v that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o general_a rendezvous_n and_o no_o part_v each_o from_o other_o till_o we_o be_v full_o assure_v we_o shall_v not_o return_v to_o burden_n the_o

likewise_o until_o a_o sure_a way_n be_v settle_v for_o call_v committee_n sequestrator_n and_o parliament_n man_n to_o account_v for_o the_o country_n money_n that_o so_o the_o country_n may_v know_v we_o intend_v their_o good_a and_o freedom_n we_o know_v some_o fair_a overture_n will_v be_v make_v to_o you_o about_o pay_v arrear_n seem_v freedom_n and_o security_n but_o we_o hope_v as_o you_o
