on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o lord_n have_v lead_v captivity_n captive_a and_o put_v all_o thing_n under_o their_o foot_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o finish_v the_o work_n of_o the_o

of_o his_o son_n ireton_n slowness_n in_o perfect_v the_o proposal_n and_o his_o not_o accommodate_v more_o to_o his_o majesty_n sense_n always_o doubt_v that_o the_o army_n will_v not_o preserve_v their_o good_a inclination_n for_o the_o king_n i_o meet_v with_o he_o about_o three_o day_n after_o i_o come_v to_o read_n as_o he_o be_v come_v from_o the_o king_n then_o at_o causum_fw-la he_o

at_o the_o remembrance_n of_o it_o say_v that_o never_o man_n be_v so_o abuse_v as_o he_o in_o his_o sinister_a opinion_n of_o the_o king_n who_o he_o think_v be_v the_o upright_a and_o most_o

that_o see_v the_o officer_n be_v more_o easy_o fix_v to_o his_o majesty_n by_o a_o visible_a prospect_n of_o their_o interest_n in_o case_n of_o a_o conjunction_n i_o take_v the_o least_o pain_n with_o they_o and_o apply_v myself_o to_o peter_n and_o the_o adjutator_n who_o sway_v their_o officer_n more_o than_o their_o officer_n command_v they_o and_o it_o be_v more_o hard_a to_o satisfy_v they_o be_v many_o in_o point_n of_o interest_n than_o their_o officer_n who_o be_v few_o about_o ten_o day_n after_o my_o arrival_n at_o the_o army_n the_o contention_n grow_v high_a and_o hot_a between_o they_o and_o the_o presbyterian_a party_n in_o the_o house_n which_o be_v the_o major_a part_n by_o much_o and_o the_o city_n of_o london_n the_o one_o contend_v to_o have_v the_o

author_n and_o therefore_o i_o meditate_a nothing_o so_o much_o as_o to_o procure_v a_o pass_n for_o mr._n john_n ashburnham_n with_o who_o i_o hope_v i_o may_v prevail_v and_o he_o with_o his_o majesty_n which_o within_o few_o day_n after_o i_o do_v obtain_v and_o cause_v it_o to_o be_v deliver_v to_o his_o servant_n about_o four_o day_n after_o my_o come_n to_o the_o army_n there_o come_v two_o general_a officer_n from_o the_o council_n of_o war_n to_o i_o to_o let_v i_o know_v that_o they_o have_v be_v inform_v that_o i_o have_v some_o wrong_n do_v i_o upon_o the_o rendition_n of_o

thanks_o but_o withal_o tell_v they_o that_o i_o come_v not_o to_o they_o upon_o my_o own_o business_n but_o that_o of_o his_o majesty_n which_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o shall_v dispatch_v no_o man_n live_v will_v be_v more_o ready_a to_o receive_v and_o acknowledge_v this_o or_o any_o other_o favour_n from_o they_o till_o then_o it_o will_v no_o way_n become_v i_o to_o do_v it_o this_o be_v a_o generosity_n which_o those_o self-denyers_a thought_n may_v do_v well_o in_o discourse_n and_o speculation_n but_o can_v not_o understand_v it_o when_o bring_v into_o practice_n and_o therefore_o conclude_v that_o i_o be_v so_o great_a a_o presbyterian_a that_o i_o will_v choose_v rather_o to_o lose_v twelve_o hundred_o pound_n which_o be_v my_o pretention_n than_o to_o offend_v my_o lord_n roberts_n a_o great_a presbyterian_a who_o must_v have_v make_v i_o reparation_n in_o which_o opinion_n they_o be_v confirm_v by_o two_o letter_n they_o have_v late_o peruse_v the_o one_o from_o sir_n

altogether_o a_o stranger_n to_o they_o both_o and_o therefore_o do_v attribute_v this_o either_o to_o their_o envy_n that_o i_o be_v admit_v or_o grief_n that_o they_o be_v exclude_v from_o the_o employment_n between_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o army_n however_o it_o be_v upon_o those_o surmise_n cromwell_n come_v to_o expostulate_v the_o matter_n plain_o with_o i_o and_o i_o reply_v to_o he_o in_o these_o word_n that_o i_o be_v as_o much_o presbyterian_a as_o independent_a that_o i_o as_o well_o as_o other_o be_v incline_v to_o think_v the_o better_a of_o they_o because_o they_o pretend_v to_o mind_v the_o king_n restoration_n but_o bid_v they_o be_v assure_v that_o as_o soon_o as_o i_o shall_v discover_v they_o be_v not_o real_a i_o and_o i_o think_v all_o the_o king_n party_n will_v join_v with_o any_o that_o will_v but_o dissemble_v better_o than_o they_o and_o conclude_v that_o i_o think_v nothing_o will_v separate_v the_o crown_n and_o the_o king_n party_n cromwell_n seem_v not_o unsatisfied_a with_o this_o plain_a deal_n and_o so_o leave_v i_o the_o next_o day_n huntingdon_n who_o be_v send_v to_o i_o by_o the_o king_n make_v i_o acquaint_v with_o two_o general_a officer_n who_o i_o dare_v not_o name_n because_o they_o be_v obnoxious_a to_o the_o present_a power_n with_o these_o i_o have_v often_o and_o free_a communication_n and_o inquire_v what_o opinion_n they_o have_v of_o the_o army_n in_o general_n as_o to_o a_o conjunction_n with_o the_o king_n they_o reply_v that_o they_o do_v believe_v it_o be_v universal_o desire_v both_o by_o the_o officer_n and_o adjutator_n that_o if_o cromwell_n be_v not_o real_a in_o it_o he_o be_v a_o great_a dissembler_n and_o so_o be_v ireton_n that_o for_o the_o present_a the_o whole_a army_n be_v so_o bend_v upon_o it_o that_o they_o dare_v not_o be_v otherwise_o that_o if_o they_o shall_v ever_o happen_v to_o change_v they_o shall_v easy_o discover_v it_o and_o because_o they_o have_v be_v in_o great_a part_n the_o cause_n that_o sir_n allen_n apsley_n be_v send_v to_o i_o they_o think_v themselves_o oblige_v to_o give_v i_o all_o the_o light_n they_o can_v of_o thing_n and_o person_n which_o to_o the_o last_o they_o perform_v in_o my_o opinion_n most_o sincere_o i_o let_v they_o know_v at_o our_o first_o meeting_n that_o i_o doubt_v there_o will_v be_v three_o great_a difficulty_n which_o will_v obstruct_v the_o agreement_n first_o they_o will_v expect_v that_o the_o king_n shall_v not_o only_o give_v they_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n but_o alter_v the_o establish_v ecclesiastical_a government_n which_o his_o majesty_n be_v persuade_v he_o can_v not_o in_o conscience_n do_v the_o second_o that_o they_o will_v not_o be_v content_v to_o separate_v some_o few_o man_n from_o the_o court_n and_o from_o bear_v great_a office_n unless_o they_o and_o their_o posterity_n be_v ruin_v and_o that_o by_o the_o king_n act_n which_o his_o majesty_n can_v not_o in_o honour_n permit_v and_o three_o that_o they_o will_v not_o be_v content_v with_o a_o security_n of_o the_o militia_n during_o his_o majesty_n life_n and_o his_o majesty_n can_v not_o grant_v it_o far_o but_o infinite_o to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o his_o posterity_n they_o assure_v i_o that_o his_o majesty_n will_v be_v press_v in_o none_o of_o these_o particular_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o draught_n of_o proposal_n which_o ireton_n have_v draw_v and_o which_o will_v certain_o be_v vote_v by_o the_o whole_a army_n wherein_o there_o be_v nothing_o tend_v to_o any_o such_o purpose_n and_o if_o his_o majesty_n will_v consent_v to_o they_o there_o will_v be_v a_o end_n of_o all_o difficulty_n and_o they_o think_v the_o soon_o his_o majesty_n do_v it_o will_v be_v the_o better_a because_o there_o be_v no_o certainty_n in_o the_o temper_n of_o the_o army_n which_o they_o have_v observe_v to_o have_v alter_v more_o than_o once_o already_o i_o ask_v whether_o i_o may_v not_o have_v a_o sight_n of_o these_o proposal_n they_o answer_v when_o i_o please_v i_o go_v with_o they_o to_o ireton_n for_o that_o purpose_n and_o remain_v with_o he_o almost_o till_o morning_n he_o permit_v i_o to_o alter_v two_o of_o the_o article_n and_o that_o in_o most_o material_a point_n and_o i_o will_v have_v do_v a_o three_o which_o be_v the_o exclude_v seven_o person_n that_o be_v not_o name_v from_o pardon_n and_o the_o admit_v of_o our_o party_n to_o sit_v in_o the_o next_o parliament_n to_o the_o first_o he_o answer_v that_o be_v they_o have_v prevail_v in_o the_o war_n if_o they_o shall_v not_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o world_n make_v some_o distinction_n between_o themselves_o and_o those_o that_o be_v worsted_n who_o always_o bear_v the_o blame_n of_o public_a quarrel_n they_o have_v so_o many_o malicious_a enemy_n both_o in_o the_o parliament_n and_o army_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v censure_v of_o betray_v their_o party_n and_o to_o have_v seek_v their_o own_o end_n by_o private_a and_o indirect_a mean_n to_o the_o second_o he_o confess_v that_o he_o shall_v himself_o be_v afraid_a of_o a_o parliament_n wherein_o the_o king_n party_n shall_v have_v the_o major_a vote_n but_o after_o the_o agreement_n if_o the_o king_n party_n and_o they_o can_v piece_v kind_o and_o cordial_o together_o there_o will_v be_v nothing_o easy_a than_o to_o procure_v his_o majesty_n satisfaction_n in_o those_o two_o particular_n he_o conclude_v by_o conjure_v i_o as_o i_o tender_v his_o majesty_n good_a and_o welfare_n that_o i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o prevail_v with_o he_o to_o grant_v the_o proposal_n that_o they_o may_v with_o the_o more_o confidence_n propound_v they_o to_o the_o parliament_n and_o make_v a_o end_n of_o all_o difference_n out_o of_o my_o discourse_n and_o inquiry_n i_o collect_v these_o observation_n first_o that_o the_o army_n be_v govern_v partly_o by_o a_o council_n of_o war_n and_o partly_o by_o a_o council_n of_o the_o army_n or_o adjutator_n wherein_o the_o general_n have_v but_o a_o single_a voice_n that_o fairfax_n the_o general_n have_v little_a power_n in_o either_o that_o cromwell_n and_o his_o son_n ireton_n with_o their_o friend_n and_o partisan_n govern_v the_o council_n of_o war_n absolute_o but_o not_o that_o of_o
