especial_o in_o this_o viz._n to_o have_v the_o king_n bring_v up_o to_o london_n without_o delay_n or_o any_o near_a upproach_n of_o the_o army_n and_o to_o all_o these_o the_o succeed_a vote_n of_o

secutity_n to_o his_o people_n in_o relation_n to_o those_o public_a end_n for_o which_o so_o much_o blood_n and_o treasure_n have_v be_v spend_v we_o shall_v only_o say_v thus_o much_o to_o those_o man_n intention_n and_o design_n in_o the_o business_n that_o have_v the_o king_n come_v up_o to_o london_n as_o they_o have_v so_o oft_o desire_v and_o attempt_v it_o be_v apparent_a they_o intend_v and_o will_v have_v make_v use_n of_o it_o rather_o to_o lay_v the_o strong_a foundation_n of_o a_o new_a war_n upon_o the_o ruin_n of_o that_o public_a interest_n contend_v for_o in_o the_o former_a and_o of_o all_o those_o that_o have_v with_o most_o candour_n clearness_n and_o simplicity_n of_o heart_n appear_v and_o act_v for_o the_o same_o than_o any_o way_n to_o settle_v thereby_o a_o safe_a and_o wellgrounded_n peace_n and_o since_o they_o can_v not_o rational_o expect_v so_o easy_a a_o obtain_n of_o the_o king_n person_n to_o london_n upon_o such_o a_o pretend_a vote_n or_o declaration_n of_o their_o desire_n thereof_o it_o be_v as_o evident_a that_o they_o can_v intend_v nothing_o thereby_o but_o a_o more_o plausible_a pretence_n and_o foundation_n of_o quarrel_n against_o this_o army_n whereby_o to_o engage_v or_o incline_v to_o their_o assistance_n the_o king_n party_n and_o such_o other_o who_o may_v be_v catch_v with_o the_o apprehension_n thereof_o as_o a_o speedy_a way_n to_o peace_n the_o thing_n so_o general_o long_v for_o and_o by_o such_o assistance_n gain_v the_o better_a to_o ruin_v this_o army_n and_o those_o faithful_a member_n of_o parliament_n who_o be_v retire_v to_o it_o for_o our_o part_n we_o shall_v rejoice_v as_o much_o as_o any_o to_o see_v the_o king_n bring_v back_o to_o his_o parliament_n and_o that_o not_o so_o much_o in_o place_n as_o in_o affection_n and_o agreement_n on_o such_o sound_a term_n and_o ground_n as_o may_v render_v both_o he_o and_o the_o kingdom_n safe_a quiet_a and_o happy_a and_o shall_v be_v as_o ready_a as_o any_o to_o bring_v his_o majesty_n to_o london_n when_o his_o be_v there_o may_v be_v likely_a to_o produce_v not_o great_a disturbance_n but_o a_o peace_n indeed_o and_o that_o such_o as_o may_v not_o with_o the_o shipwreck_n of_o public_a interest_n be_v shape_v and_o mould_v only_o to_o the_o private_a advantage_n of_o a_o particular_a party_n or_o faction_n but_o bottom_v chief_o on_o ground_n of_o common_a and_o public_a welfare_n and_o security_n and_o if_o without_o regard_n to_o these_o consideration_n we_o will_v have_v bring_v his_o majesty_n with_o we_o to_o london_n in_o our_o late_a advance_v thither_o which_o our_o enemy_n can_v not_o hinder_v or_o prejudice_v we_o in_o we_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o doubt_v but_o as_o to_o man_n we_o may_v have_v have_v all_o the_o advantage_n which_o our_o adversary_n promise_v to_o themselves_o thereby_o add_v to_o the_o strength_n and_o interest_n of_o the_o army_n and_o have_v invert_v the_o disadvantage_n upon_o they_o that_o they_o intend_v against_o we_o thereby_o so_o as_o his_o majesty_n so_o much_o desire_v to_o come_v to_o london_n may_v have_v be_v much_o to_o their_o prejudice_n and_o our_o

indeed_o to_o raise_v a_o new_a war_n in_o the_o kingdom_n against_o the_o parliament_n and_o their_o army_n for_o the_o destruction_n thereof_o and_o the_o same_o may_v yet_o further_o appear_v by_o
