query_n to_o find_v out_o who_o it_o be_v that_o hold_v out_o in_o arm_n against_o the_o state_n of_o england_n see_v the_o king_n be_v our_o prisoner_n as_o in_o the_o scottish_a army_n who_o by_o contract_n be_v our_o servant_n and_o our_o army_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o do_v what_o they_o list_v but_o what_o we_o command_v they_o see_v they_o receive_v pay_v from_o we_o as_o mere_a mercenary_n and_o serve_v not_o free_o as_o brethren_n therefore_o if_o our_o state_n representative_a the_o choose_a commons_o of_o england_n assemble_v in_o parliament_n shall_v give_v order_n to_o the_o state_n of_o scotland_n for_o the_o king_n present_o to_o disband_v all_o his_o force_n in_o england_n ireland_n or_o elsewhere_o and_o to_o deliver_v up_o all_o town_n and_o garrison_n unto_o

be_v our_o prisoner_n and_o in_o their_o power_n our_o servant_n have_v no_o power_n but_o must_v do_v as_o they_o will_v and_o they_o will_v do_v as_o they_o list_v for_o he_o for_o if_o they_o of_o
