be_v king_n and_o that_o which_o your_o say_a friend_n do_v thereupon_o apprehend_v to_o follow_v in_o order_n to_o you_o and_o they_o destruction_n be_v first_o if_o you_o can_v be_v persuade_v by_o your_o enemy_n to_o admit_v charles_n to_o be_v king_n upon_o any_o condition_n then_o rest_v assure_v that_o he_o will_v not_o want_v a_o army_n and_o special_o such_o a_o one_o as_o bring_v his_o father_n to_o the_o block_n and_o keep_v he_o in_o exile_n so_o many_o year_n therefore_o the_o first_o work_n will_v be_v to_o disband_v you_o and_o so_o leave_v you_o to_o the_o mercy_n and_o cruelty_n of_o those_o that_o by_o force_v you_o have_v subdue_v who_o in_o revenge_n will_v without_o any_o doubt_n take_v opportunity_n afterward_o to_o hang_v many_o of_o you_o and_o banish_v other_o as_o rebel_n and_o traitor_n or_o at_o least_o cast_v you_o in_o noisome_a dungeon_n but_o that_o only_o will_v not_o satisfy_v their_o cruelty_n but_o be_v sure_a they_o will_v have_v all_o your_o estate_n and_o destroy_v your_o wife_n and_o child_n and_o persecute_v you_o and_z your_o friend_n unto_o death_n you_o may_v therefore_o say_v they_o with_o ease_n discern_v whether_o it_o be_v your_o interest_n or_o security_n to_o bring_v the_o nation_n back_o under_o the_o old_a bondage_n of_o king_n or_o else_o to_o maintain_v and_o defend_v a_o commonwealth_n government_n the_o difference_n be_v plain_a the_o one_o will_v destroy_v you_o and_o your_o friend_n and_o the_o other_o will_v protect_v you_o both_o and_o you_o will_v be_v sure_a under_o a_o commonwealth_n not_o to_o want_v as_o long_o as_o any_o of_o you_o shall_v live_v nor_o your_o wife_n and_o child_n and_o you_o will_v be_v sure_a also_o not_o to_o become_v your_o enemy_n slave_n second_o if_o you_o shall_v be_v so_o fool_v as_o to_o be_v persuade_v to_o admit_v of_o the_o say_v charles_n to_o return_v upon_o any_o term_n than_o you_o will_v be_v repute_v the_o most_o perfidious_a army_n that_o breathe_v in_o break_v the_o engagement_n &_o promise_n you_o have_v make_v to_o the_o contrary_a and_o so_o render_v all_o the_o blood_n spill_v and_o treasure_n exhaust_v of_o no_o effect_n and_o thereupon_o give_v cause_n to_o the_o child_n unborn_a to_o curse_v such_o a_o generation_n of_o man_n as_o then_o you_o will_v be_v repute_v but_o say_v your_o friend_n if_o you_o do_v withstand_v it_o and_o leave_v the_o success_n to_o god_n than_o you_o will_v have_v do_v your_o part_n as_o english_a man_n and_o christian_n and_o will_v in_o after_o age_n be_v esteem_v faithful_a patriot_n and_o assertor_n of_o your_o country_n liberty_n and_o consequent_o of_o yourselves_o and_o posterity_n and_o say_v they_o when_o the_o late_a king_n have_v near_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o man_n in_o field_n and_o garrison_n you_o be_v not_o afraid_a and_o whensoever_o you_o encounter_v with_o any_o part_n thereof_o god_n strengthen_v your_o heart_n and_o hand_n and_o give_v you_o several_a victory_n to_o the_o absolute_a overthrow_v of_o they_o all_o in_o the_o three_o nation_n therefore_o they_o wish_v you_o courage_n and_o blessing_n from_o on_o high_a and_o do_v hearty_o pray_v that_o god_n may_v go_v along_o with_o you_o in_o disappoint_v your_o enemy_n who_o as_o yet_o make_v no_o use_n of_o weapon_n save_v of_o their_o venomous_a and_o lie_a tongue_n three_o if_o you_o shall_v be_v so_o delude_v as_o to_o admit_v the_o say_v charles_n stuart_n to_o be_v king_n than_o your_o friend_n desire_v you_o further_a to_o consider_v that_o beside_o the_o foresay_a ruin_n

which_o hang_v over_o your_o head_n and_o of_o your_o best_a friend_n of_o the_o three_o nation_n and_o in_o the_o first_o place_n tell_v you_o what_o the_o old_a and_o new_a enemy_n the_o cavalier_n do_v now_o say_v of_o your_o proceed_n and_o late_a action_n second_o what_o many_o honest_a and_o sober_a people_n of_o the_o presbyterian_a judgement_n think_v three_o what_o danger_n your_o best_a

only_o to_o bring_v charles_n stuart_n to_o be_v king_n of_o these_o nation_n ground_v the_o same_o upon_o several_a reason_n as_o first_o say_v they_o do_v he_o not_o intend_v the_o same_o he_o will_v never_o after_o so_o many_o declaration_n and_o protestation_n to_o be_v true_a to_o the_o parliament_n which_o in_o scorn_n they_o call_v the_o rump_n have_v the_o 11._o of_o february_n last_o

his_o master_n quarter_v himself_o a_o army_n among_o their_o enemy_n till_o the_o 21_o of_o the_o say_a month_n during_o which_o time_n he_o feast_v daily_o at_o most_o of_o the_o king_n friend_n

further_o cause_v his_o army_n upon_o the_o 21._o of_o the_o say_a month_n to_o march_v back_o to_o westminster_n and_o there_o admit_v the_o seclude_v member_n to_o sit_v in_o the_o parliament_n house_n most_o of_o who_o he_o absolute_o know_v to_o be_v for_o the_o restoration_n of_o charles_n stuart_n who_o they_o call_v king_n and_o again_o at_o night_n suffer_v bonfire_n and_o ring_v of_o
