if_o not_o a_o impossible_a design_n for_o a_o few_o man_n not_o of_o the_o great_a quality_n to_o introduce_v a_o popular_a government_n against_o the_o king_n and_o his_o party_n against_o the_o

have_v be_v accustom_v for_o so_o many_o age_n to_o a_o monarchical_a government_n whereas_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o they_o will_v but_o consider_v that_o those_o of_o their_o party_n have_v no_o particular_a obligation_n to_o the_o crown_n as_o many_o of_o the_o presbyterian_o have_v and_o therefore_o ought_v less_o to_o despair_n of_o his_o majesty_n grace_n and_o favour_n that_o the_o presbyter_n begin_v this_o war_n upon_o specious_a pretence_n of_o make_v the_o king_n a_o glorious_a king_n that_o under_o that_o pretext_n they_o have_v deceive_v many_o well-meaning_a man_n and_o have_v bring_v great_a thing_n to_o pass_v but_o that_o now_o the_o mask_n be_v take_v off_o and_o they_o discover_v to_o have_v seek_v their_o own_o advantage_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o

ancient_a right_n which_o will_v so_o ingratiate_v they_o with_o both_o that_o they_o will_v voluntary_o invest_v they_o with_o as_o much_o trust_n and_o power_n as_o subject_n be_v capable_a of_o whereas_o if_o they_o grasp_v more_o it_o will_v be_v with_o the_o general_a hatred_n and_o their_o own_o destruction_n to_o this_o discourse_n of_o i_o they_o only_o give_v a_o hear_v but_o no_o

we_o suppose_v best_o affect_v to_o we_o that_o they_o be_v of_o opinion_n the_o army_n shall_v be_v draw_v to_o a_o rendezvouz_n and_o their_o endeavour_n use_v to_o engage_v they_o once_o more_o to_o adhere_v to_o the_o proposal_n as_o soon_o as_o the_o tumultuous_a part_n of_o the_o army_n have_v notice_n of_o it_o they_o resolve_v before_o the_o day_n of_o the_o rendezvouz_n to_o seize_v the_o king_n person_n i_o have_v be_v now_o about_o three_o week_n remove_v from_o the_o king_n and_o about_o a_o fortnight_n after_o i_o mr._n ashburnham_n mr._n leg_n still_o remain_v with_o his_o

and_o i_o a_o good_a while_n before_o dinner_n but_o just_a as_o dinner_n be_v ready_a to_o come_v in_o they_o take_v i_o aside_o in_o the_o room_n and_o tell_v i_o that_o his_o majesty_n be_v real_o afraid_a of_o his_o life_n by_o the_o tumultuous_a part_n of_o the_o army_n and_o be_v resolve_v to_o make_v his_o escape_n and_o that_o they_o have_v order_n from_o his_o majesty_n to_o command_v i_o in_o his_o name_n to_o wait_v on_o his_o majesty_n in_o his_o intend_a escape_n i_o reply_v it_o be_v a_o great_a honour_n and_o accompany_v with_o not_o a_o little_a danger_n but_o withal_o it_o be_v new_a to_o i_o and_o therefore_o nothing_o occur_v to_o my_o thought_n at_o present_a but_o two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v that_o i_o think_v it_o absolute_o necessary_a that_o mr._n ashburnham_n who_o keep_v the_o king_n money_n shall_v immediate_o employ_v his_o servant_n dutton_n who_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o the_o coast_n to_o provide_v three_o or_o four_o ship_n in_o several_a port_n to_o be_v ready_a in_o all_o event_n the_o second_o that_o i_o also_o may_v receive_v his_o majesty_n command_n immediate_o from_o himself_o to_o the_o first_o they_o seem_v to_o concur_v but_o nothing_o be_v ever_o do_v in_o it_o which_o to_o this_o day_n amaze_v i_o the_o other_o be_v effect_v and_o i_o go_v the_o tuesday_n night_n after_o to_o hampton_n court_n private_o be_v introduce_v a_o back_n way_n by_o mr._n leg._n the_o king_n tell_v i_o he_o be_v afraid_a of_o his_o life_n and_o that_o he_o will_v have_v i_o assist_v in_o person_n in_o his_o escape_n i_o ask_v which_o way_n his_o majesty_n will_v go_v his_o majesty_n reply_v that_o both_o mr._n ashburnham_n who_o be_v present_a and_o i_o shall_v know_v that_o by_o will._n leg._n the_o monday_n before_o mr._n ashburnham_n and_o i_o go_v to_o the_o headquarters_n to_o desire_v pass_n to_o return_v beyond_o the_o sea_n and_o by_o the_o way_n back_o he_o tell_v i_o that_o the_o scot_n have_v much_o tamper_n with_o the_o king_n but_o can_v come_v to_o no_o agreement_n that_o they_o will_v fain_o have_v his_o majesty_n out_o of_o the_o army_n and_o to_o that_o end_n have_v much_o augment_v his_o just_a fear_n and_o therefore_o ask_v i_o what_o i_o think_v of_o his_o majesty_n come_n private_o to_o london_n and_o appear_v in_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n i_o reply_v very_o ill_o because_o the_o army_n be_v absolute_o master_n both_o of_o the_o city_n and_o parliament_n and_o will_v undoubted_o seize_v his_o majesty_n and_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v but_o two_o sword_n draw_v in_o the_o scuffle_n they_o will_v accuse_v his_o majesty_n of_o begin_v a_o new_a war_n and_o proceed_v with_o he_o according_o he_o then_o ask_v i_o what_o i_o think_v of_o the_o isle_n of_o wight_n i_o reply_v better_o than_o of_o london_n though_o i_o know_v nothing_o of_o it_o nor_o who_o be_v governor_n he_o reply_v that_o he_o have_v have_v some_o communication_n with_o the_o governor_n of_o late_a and_o conceive_v good_a hope_n of_o he_o but_o have_v no_o assurance_n from_o he_o i_o than_o ask_v he_o why_o his_o majesty_n will_v not_o make_v his_o retreat_n secure_a by_o quit_v the_o kingdom_n he_o reply_v not_o for_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v the_o rendezvouz_n will_v be_v a_o week_n after_o and_o his_o majesty_n be_v not_o willing_a to_o quit_v the_o army_n before_o that_o be_v pass_v because_o if_o the_o superior_a officer_n prevail_v they_o will_v be_v able_a to_o make_v good_a their_o public_a engagement_n if_o they_o be_v overtop_v they_o must_v apply_v themselves_o to_o the_o king_n for_o their_o own_o security_n the_o second_o be_v that_o the_o scot_n be_v in_o treaty_n with_o the_o king_n and_o well_o nigh_o a_o conclusion_n which_o they_o will_v never_o come_v to_o but_o out_o of_o their_o desire_n to_o separate_v the_o king_n and_o the_o army_n that_o if_o the_o king_n go_v before_o they_o will_v hold_v he_o to_o impossible_a condition_n and_o therefore_o his_o majesty_n be_v resolve_v to_o conclude_v with_o they_o first_o in_o which_o advice_n mr._n ashburnham_n be_v most_o positive_a and_o tell_v i_o often_o that_o the_o world_n will_v laugh_v at_o we_o if_o we_o quit_v the_o army_n before_o we_o have_v agree_v with_o the_o scot_n and_o let_v they_o reply_v i_o so_o his_o majesty_n be_v secure_a on_o the_o wednesday_n as_o i_o take_v it_o we_o have_v order_n to_o send_v spare_a horse_n to_o sutton_n in_o hampshire_n a_o place_n where_o i_o never_o have_v be_v and_o the_o thursday_n after_o his_o majesty_n with_o will._n leg_n come_v out_o at_o the_o close_n of_o the_o evening_n and_o immediate_o go_v towards_o oatland_n and_o so_o through_o the_o forest_n where_o his_o majesty_n be_v our_o guide_n but_o lose_v our_o way_n though_o he_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o it_o the_o night_n be_v excessive_o dark_a and_o stormy_a when_o his_o majesty_n fat_a first_o out_o he_o discourse_v long_o with_o mr._n ashburnham_n and_o at_o last_o call_v i_o to_o he_o and_o complain_v very_o much_o of_o the_o scot_n commissioner_n who_o be_v the_o first_o that_o present_v his_o danger_n to_o he_o and_o offer_v he_o expedient_n for_o his_o escape_n but_o when_o he_o come_v to_o make_v use_n of_o those_o they_o have_v offer_v they_o be_v full_a of_o objection_n say_v that_o his_o come_n into_o london_n be_v desperate_a his_o hide_v in_o england_n chimerical_a and_o his_o escape_n to_o jersey_n prevent_v because_o my_o ship_n be_v discover_v which_o particular_a my_o lord_n lanerick_n affirm_v the_o king_n thereupon_o ask_v i_o if_o i_o have_v ever_o a_o ship_n ready_a i_o answer_v that_o i_o neither_o have_v not_o can_v have_v any_o have_v not_o one_o penny_n of_o money_n that_o i_o have_v desire_v mr._n ashburnham_n earnest_o to_o make_v provision_n but_o know_v not_o what_o he_o have_v do_v in_o it_o the_o king_n then_o ask_v i_o what_o i_o think_v may_v be_v the_o reason_n they_o shall_v say_v i_o have_v one_o and_o that_o discover_v if_o i_o have_v none_o i_o reply_v it_o be_v hard_a for_o i_o to_o affirm_v what_o be_v their_o meaning_n in_o that_o particular_a or_o in_o general_a in_o their_o proceed_n with_o his_o

they_o have_v do_v and_o in_o the_o next_o place_n they_o desire_v that_o his_o majesty_n shall_v put_v himself_o again_o into_o their_o hand_n but_o want_v confidence_n or_o believe_v it_o will_v be_v ineffectual_a to_o move_v it_o direct_o to_o his_o majesty_n because_o they_o have_v give_v so_o ill_a a_o account_n when_o he_o be_v last_o with_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o object_v against_o their_o own_o expedient_n of_o come_v into_o london_n and_o obscure_v himself_o in_o england_n and_o because_o they_o can_v find_v no_o other_o against_o his_o go_v to_o jersey_n they_o pretend_v that_o i_o have_v a_o ship_n discover_v believe_v perhaps_o that_o i_o be_v total_o separate_v from_o his_o majesty_n and_o so_o shall_v not_o have_v have_v any_o occasion_n to_o
