the_o sad_a relation_n of_o these_o passage_n they_o be_v already_o so_o common_a in_o each_o man_n mouth_n i_o shall_v only_o request_v you_o to_o peruse_v the_o petition_n of_o the_o enslave_v

people_n knowledge_n of_o their_o own_o liberty_n be_v a_o second_o great_a hindrance_n to_o this_o limitless_a power_n it_o be_v not_o unlikely_a if_o the_o parliament_n continue_v their_o extraordinary_a tax_n and_o pressure_n on_o the_o country_n after_o the_o disband_n of_o this_o army_n and_o use_v such_o violence_n against_o the_o commons_o of_o england_n as_o they_o have_v do_v by_o their_o committee_n and_o other_o unjust_a officer_n and_o not_o hear_v and_o answer_v the_o petition_n of_o the_o afflict_a but_o that_o they_o will_v be_v all_o ready_a with_o their_o club_n

they_o can_v spare_v none_o to_o disband_v 4._o but_o fourthly_a if_o the_o point_n of_o disband_v have_v be_v propose_v and_o they_o willing_o submit_v thereto_o they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o
