a_o few_o query_n desire_v that_o they_o may_v be_v speedy_o take_v into_o consideration_n as_o thing_n that_o be_v the_o sole_a good_a and_o in_o which_o all_o our_o happiness_n be_v wrap_v up_o in_o first_o whether_o a_o ordinance_n make_v by_o parliament_n in_o a_o time_n unquestionable_a of_o freedom_n and_o liberty_n and_o in_o a_o full_a house_n upon_o mature_a deliberation_n and_o after_o

of_o all_o and_o guilty_a of_o that_o blood_n that_o have_v be_v spill_v in_o these_o 3_o kingdom_n 3._o whether_o the_o army_n can_v be_v in_o safety_n when_o those_o their_o know_a enemy_n have_v the_o manage_n of_o this_o treaty_n and_o be_v most_o forward_o to_o support_v that_o which_o will_v ruin_v we_o and_o our_o posterity_n 4._o whether_o the_o army_n can_v be_v in_o safety_n when_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o citizen_n be_v the_o sole_a guide_n of_o the_o parliament_n transaction_n and_o the_o absolute_a influence_n into_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o same_o and_o those_o of_o the_o citizen_n too_o which_o be_v our_o profess_a enemy_n 5._o whether_o the_o army_n and_o kingdom_n can_v be_v in_o safety_n when_o the_o desire_n and_o request_n of_o the_o malignant_n be_v so_o

for_o the_o kingdom_n and_o army_n so_o long_o as_o the_o king_n friend_n go_v abroad_o and_o be_v suffer_v to_o wear_v arm_n and_o pistol_n and_o murder_v our_o friend_n and_o be_v not_o put_v to_o
