it_o be_v well_o your_o pen_n go_v on_o so_o far_o without_o particular_n perhaps_o you_o expect_v a_o application_n from_o we_o and_o you_o shall_v have_v it_o you_o say_v for_o incendiary_n to_o

towards_o you_o as_o we_o so_o as_o it_o be_v no_o new_a thing_n for_o the_o earl_n of_o newcastle_n to_o accuse_v the_o lord_n fairfax_n sr._n john_n hotham_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o our_o worthy_n as_o in_o his_o former_a proclamation_n and_o warrant_n appear_v accuse_v they_o for_o disturb_v the_o country_n tranquillity_n when_o indeed_o it_o be_v his_o own_o he_o mean_v wrap_v the_o peace_n of_o his_o army_n cunning_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o country_n declaration_n the_o roman_a be_v angry_a that_o his_o neighbour_n shall_v defend_v himself_o and_o my_o lord_n that_o i_o shall_v protect_v his_o majesty_n good_a subject_n observation_n he_o be_v not_o angry_a that_o you_o defend_v yourself_o so_o you_o defend_v not_o yourself_o against_o the_o justice_n of_o parliament_n nor_o that_o you_o shall_v protect_v his_o majesty_n good_a subject_n so_o that_o the_o subject_n be_v good_a you_o protect_v not_o papest_n not_o delinquent_n not_o the_o malignant_n of_o the_o country_n

for_o have_v he_o say_v less_o the_o reader_n perhaps_o have_v believe_v more_o apology_n have_v ever_o lay_v on_o more_o than_o they_o take_v off_o and_o it_o be_v always_o a_o mistake_n in_o the_o
