into_o your_o most_o serious_a thought_n 4._o consider_v that_o not_o only_o the_o eye_n of_o all_o the_o church_n abroad_o but_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n nay_o the_o vow_n of_o god_n be_v upon_o you_o and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v set_v before_o you_o and_o therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o as_o you_o tender_v the_o good_a and_o welfare_n of_o three_o kingdom_n and_o as_o you_o will_v answer_v it_o to_o the_o lord_n christ_n at_o the_o dreadful_a day_n of_o account_n that_o you_o observe_v the_o direction_n of_o the_o word_n how_o will_v you_o satisfy_v your_o conscience_n upon_o your_o

what_o be_o i_o the_o last_o of_o minister_n and_o least_o of_o saint_n that_o i_o shall_v judge_v a_o parliament_n i_o desire_v to_o judge_v myself_o and_o deny_v myself_o i_o be_v not_o send_v to_o

be_v it_o that_o all_o our_o army_n be_v rout_v in_o the_o field_n then_o that_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n shall_v be_v deceive_v sunt_fw-la i_o say_v but_o deceive_v to_o perish_v by_o act_n

not_o very_o circumspect_a nay_o if_o you_o do_v not_o beg_v counsel_n of_o the_o lord_n you_o may_v undo_v three_o kingdom_n this_o week_n in_o three_o day_n 4._o when_o we_o mingle_v tear_n in_o

your_o honour_n to_o walk_v humble_o and_o close_o with_o god_n when_o you_o be_v at_o high_a that_o god_n may_v bring_v upon_o you_o all_o the_o good_a that_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o they_o that_o
