do_v at_o all_o for_o he_o know_v the_o other_o manager_n will_v do_v nothing_o so_o we_o have_v little_a discourse_n at_o that_o time_n after_o this_o we_o go_v to_o ferguson_n who_o tell_v we_o how_o thing_n stand_v we_o then_o find_v that_o he_o know_v of_o both_o design_n but_o be_v only_o for_o the_o insurrection_n and_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o manager_n have_v be_v treat_v with_o some_o

the_o manager_n thus_o if_o they_o will_v supply_v they_o with_o thirty_o thousand_o pound_n they_o will_v begin_v it_o in_o scotland_n first_o which_o they_o can_v soon_o have_v and_o then_o will_v invade_v england_n desire_v the_o manager_n only_o to_o get_v a_o party_n in_o the_o north_n of_o england_n ready_a to_o oppose_v any_o force_n from_o come_v out_o of_o england_n against_o they_o before_o they_o have_v settle_v scotland_n but_o this_o be_v not_o approve_v of_o the_o manager_n choose_v rather_o to_o supply_v they_o with_o 10000_o l._n and_o to_o begin_v it_o in_o england_n the_o same_o time_n then_o we_o daily_o expect_v to_o hear_v when_o the_o money_n will_v be_v pay_v but_o still_o find_v nothing_o but_o delay_n the_o manager_n not_o agree_v how_o to_o raise_v the_o money_n and_o that_o if_o the_o money_n have_v be_v ready_a they_o be_v come_v to_o no_o conclusion_n as_o to_o any_o method_n more_o than_o they_o be_v nine_o month_n before_o have_v do_v nothing_o but_o talk_v to_o ensnare_v people_n report_v about_o in_o all_o part_n how_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o people_n be_v daily_o more_o and_o more_o infringe_v and_o that_o arbitrary_a government_n and_o popery_n be_v come_v in_o apace_o which_o incense_a people_n very_o much_o and_o make_v such_o a_o grumble_a in_o all_o part_n that_o we_o fear_v long_a delay_n will_v make_v the_o common_a people_n in_o many_o part_n mutiny_n it_o be_v as_o we_o think_v so_o gen'ral_o know_v except_o something_o be_v sudden_o do_v it_o be_v impossible_a it_o shall_v remain_v undiscovered_a so_o the_o next_o time_n we_o meet_v with_o rumsy_a and_o ferguson_n though_o never_o together_o we_o declare_v our_o dissatisfaction_n by_o reason_n of_o such_o long_a delay_n and_o speak_v it_o so_o as_o that_o it_o may_v come_v to_o the_o manager_n ear_n as_o we_o suppose_v it_o do_v be_v to_o this_o effect_n that_o we_o think_v they_o have_v only_o a_o design_n to_o betray_v people_n draw_v many_o

after_o meeting_n with_o rumsy_a again_o he_o tell_v we_o they_o be_v of_o different_a opinion_n concern_v a_o method_n some_o for_o beginning_n the_o insurrection_n only_o in_o london_n and_o

london_n from_o all_o part_n of_o england_n to_o which_o we_o answer_v that_o we_o think_v no_o way_n better_o than_o what_o be_v first_o propose_v viz._n the_o beginning_n of_o it_o in_o many_o

with_o the_o assistance_n we_o be_v promise_v from_o taunton_n do_v not_o doubt_v but_o to_o get_v man_n enough_o to_o secure_v it_o and_o that_o we_o know_v not_o where_o to_o get_v ten_o man_n that_o will_v come_v for_o london_n and_o suppose_v it_o may_v be_v so_o in_o other_o place_n man_n may_v be_v willing_a to_o secure_v their_o own_o country_n who_o will_v not_o be_v willing_a to_o
