declaration_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v so_o neglect_v this_o may_v serve_v as_o a_o three_o evidence_n of_o their_o covenant-design_n of_o encroachment_n whereto_o may_v be_v add_v one_o more_o when_o the_o king_n be_v at_o carisbrooke_n castle_n whither_o the_o commissioner_n of_o parliament_n be_v no_o soon_o arrive_v with_o proposition_n again_o but_o the_o scots_a commissioner_n be_v
