A84942	Fruitfull England like to become a barren wilderness through the wickednes of the inhabitants; and the Army rebels & traitors once more for not disbanding, and accordingly punished, as some of them have been already at sessions, assizes and otherwise, notwithstanding all their wonderfull victories, faithfull and matchles services.
