they_o have_v have_v for_o their_o go_n on_o with_o the_o service_n either_o here_o or_o in_o ireland_n the_o three_o be_v of_o the_o disorder_n commit_v by_o the_o scot_n in_o their_o army_n either_o in_o england_n or_o in_o ireland_n first_o i_o assure_v you_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o scot_n that_o their_o earnest_a desire_n be_v that_o all_o these_o thing_n in_o particular_a be_v exact_o try_v by_o the_o law_n of_o arm_n and_o in_o equity_n judge_v where_o the_o fail_n be_v and_o by_o who_o and_o how_o to_o the_o end_n that_o every_o one_o may_v have_v his_o due_a of_o praise_n or_o of_o shame_n of_o thanks_o or_o of_o blame_n of_o recompense_n or_o of_o punishment_n of_o remembrance_n or_o of_o oblivion_n according_a as_o the_o cause_n shall_v require_v and_o the_o soon_o this_o be_v do_v the_o better_a it_o will_v for_o the_o service_n of_o the_o public_a and_o the_o encouragement_n of_o honesty_n and_o the_o repress_n of_o wickedness_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o in_o general_a that_o what_o money_n be_v receive_v by_o the_o scot_n be_v far_o short_a of_o what_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v and_o that_o they_o can_v wish_v their_o army_n in_o

two_o week_n and_o this_o without_o jealousy_n or_o envy_v that_o other_o be_v look●d_a and_o care_v for_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o they_o shall_v be_v neglect_v since_o they_o be_v constant_o follow_v the_o public_a service_n with_o activity_n and_o faithfulness_n there_o be_v a_o great_a stir_n of_o send_v money_n to_o they_o and_o far_o great_a of_o raise_v it_o for_o they_o

all_o what_o be_v say_v to_o be_v levy_v for_o they_o wherefore_o i_o say_v again_o they_o be_v most_o desirous_a of_o fair_a reckon_n among_o friend_n let_v the_o payment_n come_v when_o it_o may_v the_o most_o press_a necessity_n be_v supply_v next_o for_o provision_n beside_o the_o smallness_n of_o they_o they_o come_v so_o slow_o i_o must_v say_v again_o that_o when_o they_o be_v upon_o their_o march_n they_o be_v constrain_v to_o stay_v three_o day_n in_o one_o place_n against_o their_o will_n for_o one_o day_n provision_n and_o draught_n can_v hardly_o be_v have_v for_o their_o
