the_o then_o high_a sheriff_n hand_n the_o beginning_n of_o parliament_n the_o middle-sized_a gentry_n though_o they_o make_v appearance_n be_v not_o call_v up_o do_v not_o give_v their_o consent_n be_v discontent_v however_o the_o 500_o li_n be_v take_v many_o of_o the_o king_n servant_n go_v away_o for_o want_n of_o pay_n for_o ordnance_n there_o be_v no_o more_o noise_n of_o any_o only_o i_o hear_v a_o inkling_n as_o if_o they_o be_v make_v some_o iron_n once_o for_o foot_n they_o have_v some_o more_o the_o king_n desire_v to_o see_v they_o complete_a there_o be_v of_o they_o nigh_o

and_o then_o westward_o or_o perhaps_o northwest_o too_o therfrom_o i_o do_v believe_v it_o be_v yet_o to_o be_v resolve_v it_o be_v sure_o two_o piece_n of_o ordnance_n go_v to_o derby_n on_o wendsday_n last_o some_o arm_n and_o ammunition_n on_o saturday_n it_o be_v expect_v more_o shall_v go_v and_o this_o day_n the_o king_n be_v to_o go_v whether_o to_o return_v it_o be_v not_o yet_o resolve_v but_o it_o be_v most_o probable_a they_o will_v leave_v nottingham_n they_o threaten_v to_o pillage_v it_o before_o they_o take_v their_o leaf_n and_o some_o rascal_n talk_v of_o worse_a but_o sure_o they_o dare_v not_o do_v it_o the_o king_n summon_v the_o train_v band_n of_o nottingham_n shire_n the_o appearance_n be_v thin_a they_o tell_v he_o he_o never_o receive_v so_o much_o loyalty_n and_o affection_n from_o any_o county_n and_o though_o he_o call_v they_o to_o appear_v in_o person_n with_o their_o arm_n yet_o because_o of_o harvest_n and_o because_o of_o their_o wife_n and_o child_n it_o shall_v suffice_v to_o send_v he_o their_o arm_n and_o in_o the_o word_n of_o a_o king_n to_o return_v they_o when_o he_o have_v settle_v his_o kingdom_n in_o peace_n they_o cry_v out_o they_o will_v go_v with_o he_o however_o their_o arm_n be_v command_v to_o the_o castle_n for_o that_o night_n and_o next_o morning_n they_o be_v force_v to_o return_v disarm_v so_o they_o serve_v leicester_n shire_n i_o guess_v his_o counsel_n vary_v and_o do_v he_o know_v how_o to_o bestow_v his_o ordnance_n he_o will_v be_v altogether_o in_o a_o fly_a posture_n and_o turn_v his_o foot_n into_o dragooneer_n which_o yet_o he_o may_v do_v if_o foot_n come_v in_o no_o fast_a they_o will_v incline_v westward_o or_o northwest_o and_o in_o the_o way_n get_v up_o what_o arm_n they_o can_v by_o speech_n and_o perforce_o derby_n be_v force_v to_o resign_v some_o that_o shire_n be_v right_a than_o most_o we_o get_v nothing_o in_o the_o county_n by_o this_o deliberation_n and_o i_o
