force_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o strange_a in_o regard_n that_o in_o december_n 1648._o when_o they_o be_v under_o a_o force_n they_o transfer_v that_o guilt_n from_o themselves_o to_o the_o army_n and_o pretend_v a_o willingness_n to_o readmit_v those_o member_n if_o it_o be_v in_o their_o power_n as_o as_o be_v former_o mention_v and_o whereas_o lt._n gen._n ludlow_n have_v place_v in_o

of_o the_o factious_a part_n of_o the_o army_n in_o england_n even_o against_o those_o member_n of_o parliament_n now_o sit_v at_o westminster_n of_o which_o officer_n so_o place_v by_o lt._n gen._n

&_o army_n and_o which_o be_v above_o all_o to_o the_o endanger_n even_o of_o religion_n itself_o and_o here_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o those_o member_n now_o sit_v at_o westminster_n by_o

whence_o deliverance_n may_v probable_o be_v wrought_v or_o expect_v but_o from_o the_o care_n and_o wisdom_n of_o a_o free_a and_o full_a parliament_n in_o england_n which_o by_o the_o experience_n of_o all_o former_a age_n have_v be_v find_v the_o best_a and_o only_o expedient_a for_o provide_v remedy_n to_o be_v apply_v to_o so_o great_a and_o general_a mischief_n arise_v in_o church_n or_o
