at_o the_o remembrance_n of_o it_o say_v that_o never_o man_n be_v so_o abuse_v as_o he_o in_o his_o sinister_a opinion_n of_o the_o king_n who_o he_o think_v be_v the_o upright_a and_o most_o

that_o see_v the_o officer_n be_v more_o easy_o fix_v to_o his_o majesty_n by_o a_o visible_a prospect_n of_o their_o interest_n in_o case_n of_o a_o conjunction_n i_o take_v the_o least_o pain_n with_o they_o and_o apply_v myself_o to_o peter_n and_o the_o adjutator_n who_o sway_v their_o officer_n more_o than_o their_o officer_n command_v they_o and_o it_o be_v more_o hard_a to_o satisfy_v they_o be_v many_o in_o point_n of_o interest_n than_o their_o officer_n who_o be_v few_o about_o ten_o day_n after_o my_o arrival_n at_o the_o army_n the_o contention_n grow_v high_a and_o hot_a

in_o his_o name_n to_o wait_v on_o his_o majesty_n in_o his_o intend_a escape_n i_o reply_v it_o be_v a_o great_a honour_n and_o accompany_v with_o not_o a_o little_a danger_n but_o withal_o it_o be_v new_a to_o i_o and_o therefore_o nothing_o occur_v to_o my_o thought_n at_o present_a but_o two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v that_o i_o think_v it_o absolute_o necessary_a that_o mr._n ashburnham_n who_o keep_v the_o king_n money_n shall_v immediate_o employ_v his_o servant_n dutton_n who_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o the_o coast_n to_o provide_v three_o or_o four_o ship_n in_o several_a

nothing_o be_v ever_o do_v in_o it_o which_o to_o this_o day_n amaze_v i_o the_o other_o be_v effect_v and_o i_o go_v the_o tuesday_n night_n after_o to_o hampton_n court_n private_o be_v introduce_v a_o back_n way_n by_o mr._n leg._n the_o king_n tell_v i_o he_o be_v afraid_a of_o his_o life_n and_o that_o he_o will_v have_v i_o assist_v in_o person_n in_o his_o escape_n i_o ask_v which_o way_n his_o majesty_n will_v go_v his_o majesty_n reply_v that_o both_o mr._n ashburnham_n who_o be_v present_a and_o i_o shall_v know_v that_o by_o will._n leg._n the_o monday_n before_o mr._n ashburnham_n and_o i_o go_v to_o the_o headquarters_n to_o desire_v pass_n to_o return_v beyond_o the_o sea_n and_o by_o the_o way_n back_o he_o tell_v i_o that_o the_o scot_n have_v much_o tamper_n with_o the_o king_n but_o can_v come_v to_o no_o agreement_n that_o they_o will_v fain_o have_v his_o majesty_n out_o of_o the_o army_n and_o to_o that_o end_n have_v much_o augment_v his_o just_a fear_n and_o therefore_o ask_v i_o what_o i_o think_v of_o his_o majesty_n come_n private_o to_o london_n and_o appear_v in_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n i_o reply_v very_o ill_o because_o the_o army_n be_v absolute_o master_n both_o of_o the_o city_n and_o parliament_n and_o will_v undoubted_o seize_v his_o majesty_n and_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v but_o two_o sword_n draw_v in_o the_o scuffle_n they_o will_v accuse_v his_o majesty_n of_o begin_v a_o new_a war_n and_o proceed_v with_o he_o according_o he_o then_o ask_v i_o what_o i_o think_v of_o the_o isle_n of_o wight_n i_o reply_v better_o than_o of_o london_n though_o i_o know_v nothing_o of_o it_o nor_o who_o be_v governor_n he_o reply_v that_o he_o have_v have_v some_o communication_n with_o the_o governor_n of_o late_a and_o conceive_v good_a hope_n of_o he_o but_o have_v no_o assurance_n from_o he_o i_o than_o ask_v he_o why_o his_o majesty_n will_v not_o make_v his_o retreat_n secure_a by_o quit_v the_o kingdom_n he_o reply_v not_o for_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v the_o rendezvouz_n will_v be_v a_o week_n after_o and_o his_o majesty_n be_v not_o willing_a to_o quit_v the_o army_n before_o that_o be_v pass_v because_o if_o the_o superior_a officer_n prevail_v they_o will_v be_v able_a to_o make_v good_a their_o public_a engagement_n if_o they_o be_v overtop_v they_o must_v apply_v themselves_o to_o the_o king_n for_o their_o own_o security_n the_o second_o be_v that_o the_o scot_n be_v in_o treaty_n with_o the_o king_n and_o well_o nigh_o a_o conclusion_n which_o they_o will_v never_o come_v to_o but_o out_o of_o their_o desire_n to_o separate_v the_o king_n and_o the_o army_n that_o if_o the_o king_n go_v before_o they_o will_v hold_v he_o to_o impossible_a condition_n and_o therefore_o his_o majesty_n be_v resolve_v to_o conclude_v with_o they_o first_o in_o which_o advice_n mr._n ashburnham_n be_v most_o positive_a and_o tell_v i_o often_o that_o the_o world_n will_v laugh_v at_o we_o if_o we_o quit_v the_o army_n before_o we_o have_v agree_v with_o the_o scot_n and_o let_v they_o reply_v i_o so_o his_o majesty_n be_v secure_a on_o the_o wednesday_n as_o i_o take_v it_o we_o have_v order_n to_o send_v spare_a horse_n to_o sutton_n in_o hampshire_n a_o place_n where_o i_o never_o have_v be_v and_o the_o thursday_n after_o his_o majesty_n with_o will._n leg_n come_v out_o at_o the_o close_n of_o the_o evening_n and_o immediate_o go_v towards_o oatland_n and_o so_o through_o the_o forest_n where_o his_o majesty_n be_v our_o guide_n but_o lose_v our_o way_n though_o he_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o it_o the_o night_n be_v excessive_o dark_a and_o stormy_a when_o his_o majesty_n fat_a first_o out_o he_o discourse_v long_o with_o mr._n ashburnham_n and_o at_o last_o call_v i_o to_o he_o and_o complain_v very_o much_o of_o the_o scot_n commissioner_n who_o be_v the_o first_o that_o present_v his_o danger_n to_o he_o and_o offer_v he_o expedient_n for_o his_o escape_n but_o when_o he_o come_v to_o make_v use_n of_o those_o they_o have_v offer_v they_o be_v full_a of_o objection_n say_v that_o his_o come_n into_o london_n be_v desperate_a his_o hide_v in_o england_n chimerical_a and_o his_o escape_n to_o jersey_n prevent_v because_o my_o ship_n be_v discover_v which_o particular_a my_o lord_n lanerick_n affirm_v the_o king_n thereupon_o ask_v i_o if_o i_o have_v ever_o a_o ship_n ready_a i_o answer_v that_o i_o neither_o have_v not_o can_v have_v any_o have_v not_o one_o penny_n of_o money_n that_o i_o have_v desire_v mr._n ashburnham_n earnest_o to_o make_v provision_n but_o know_v not_o what_o he_o have_v do_v in_o it_o the_o king_n then_o ask_v i_o what_o i_o think_v may_v be_v the_o reason_n they_o shall_v say_v i_o have_v one_o and_o that_o discover_v if_o i_o have_v none_o i_o reply_v it_o be_v hard_a for_o i_o to_o affirm_v what_o be_v their_o meaning_n in_o that_o particular_a or_o in_o general_a in_o their_o proceed_n with_o his_o majesty_n but_o i_o do_v conjecture_v they_o be_v very_o desirous_a to_o have_v his_o majesty_n out_o of_o the_o army_n which_o make_v they_o present_v his_o danger_n to_o he_o so_o frequent_o as_o they_o have_v do_v and_o in_o the_o next_o place_n they_o desire_v that_o his_o majesty_n shall_v put_v himself_o again_o into_o their_o hand_n but_o want_v confidence_n or_o believe_v it_o will_v be_v ineffectual_a to_o move_v it_o direct_o to_o his_o majesty_n because_o they_o have_v give_v so_o ill_a a_o account_n when_o he_o be_v last_o with_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o object_v against_o their_o own_o expedient_n of_o come_v into_o london_n and_o obscure_v himself_o in_o england_n and_o because_o they_o can_v find_v no_o other_o against_o his_o go_v to_o jersey_n they_o pretend_v that_o i_o have_v a_o ship_n discover_v believe_v perhaps_o that_o i_o be_v total_o separate_v from_o his_o majesty_n and_o so_o shall_v not_o have_v have_v any_o occasion_n to_o contradict_v it_o and_o by_o this_o mean_v his_o majesty_n be_v exclude_v all_o other_o mean_n of_o escape_n shall_v have_v be_v necessitate_v to_o make_v use_n of_o scotland_n his_o majesty_n lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o my_o shoulder_n and_o say_v i_o think_v thou_o be_v in_o the_o right_n and_o believe_v it_o afterward_o more_o confident_o than_o i_o do_v i_o than_o ask_v his_o majesty_n which_o way_n he_o will_v go_v his_o majesty_n reply_v that_o he_o hope_v to_o be_v at_o sutton_n three_o hour_n before_o day_n and_o that_o while_o our_o horse_n be_v make_v ready_a we_o
therefore_o he_o will_v not_o deceive_v his_o majesty_n expectation_n i_o reply_v that_o expression_n be_v too_o general_a and_o do_v not_o come_v home_o to_o our_o instruction_n he_o then_o make_v many_o discourse_n not_o much_o to_o the_o purpose_n during_o which_o time_n he_o keep_v himself_o between_o mr._n ashburnham_n and_o i_o and_o when_o he_o find_v i_o still_o unsatisfy_a he_o add_v that_o i_o be_v hard_a to_o content_v than_o mr._n ashburnham_n and_o he_o do_v believe_v that_o his_o majesty_n will_v be_v much_o easy_o please_v than_o either_o and_o thereupon_o conclude_v that_o i_o shall_v go_v into_o the_o castle_n and_o that_o mr._n ashburnham_n shall_v take_v his_o horse_n and_o go_v to_o the_o king_n and_o tell_v his_o majesty_n what_o he_o say_v i_o embrace_v the_o

stay_v as_o believe_v his_o majesty_n to_o be_v less_o willing_a to_o expose_v he_o than_o i_o but_o that_o mr._n ashburnham_n absolute_o refuse_v whatever_o pass_v between_o they_o i_o be_o sure_a they_o come_v both_o back_n to_o i_o and_o the_o governor_n put_v himself_o between_o we_o say_v that_o he_o will_v say_v that_o which_o he_o be_v sure_a aught_o to_o content_v any_o reasonable_a
