what_o have_v pass_v betwixt_o the_o parliament_n and_o the_o army_n as_o to_o the_o service_n of_o ireland_n by_o all_o which_o together_o with_o the_o like_a proceed_n against_o the_o army_n in_o

whether_o those_o course_n to_o which_o the_o parliament_n have_v by_o the_o design_n and_o practice_n of_o some_o be_v draw_v have_v rational_o tend_v to_o induce_v a_o cheerful_a and_o unanimous_a undertake_n of_o the_o army_n to_o that_o service_n or_o rather_o break_v and_o pull_v the_o army_n in_o piece_n with_o discontent_n and_o dishonour_n and_o to_o put_v such_o disobligation_n and_o

with_o the_o break_n or_o disband_v of_o this_o army_n to_o draw_v together_o or_o raise_v such_o other_o force_n and_o of_o such_o a_o temper_n as_o may_v serve_v to_o some_o desperate_a and_o

have_v more_o than_o hint_n of_o such_o a_o design_n by_o clear_a expression_n to_o that_o purpose_n from_o many_o of_o those_o officer_n of_o the_o army_n that_o have_v be_v persuade_v and_o appear_v most_o forward_o to_o engage_v for_o ireland_n on_o the_o term_n propose_v and_o that_o such_o a_o design_n have_v all_o along_o be_v drive_v seem_v now_o too_o evident_a by_o the_o present_a dispose_n of_o those_o force_n that_o have_v be_v engage_v for_o ireland_n by_o the_o endeavour_n of_o some_o to_o gain_v a_o power_n from_o the_o parliament_n of_o order_v those_o force_n for_o some_o service_n in_o england_n and_o by_o the_o private_a listing_n of_o man_n for_o service_n here_o without_o any_o public_a authority_n of_o parliament_n and_o all_o this_o by_o the_o same_o person_n who_o have_v all_o along_o appear_v most_o active_a and_o violent_a in_o the_o late_a proceed_n against_o the_o army_n as_o to_o the_o just_a discontent_n and_o dis-satisfaction_n of_o the_o army_n in_o relation_n to_o their_o grievance_n and_o their_o noncompliance_a to_o the_o late_a order_n for_o soldier_n disband_v by_o piecemeal_o before_o more_o full_a and_o equal_a satisfaction_n

latter_a paper_n from_o the_o general_n council_n of_o war_n at_o bury_n and_o the_o late_a general_a rendezvous_n near_o new-market_n and_o we_o think_v your_o late_a resume_v the_o consideration_n of_o those_o thing_n as_o to_o a_o further_a satisfaction_n do_v much_o justify_v the_o desire_n and_o proceed_n of_o the_o army_n in_o those_o past_a particular_n hitherto_o and_o though_o have_v

since_o upon_o those_o former_a address_n we_o have_v find_v such_o hard_a deal_n as_o in_o the_o say_a paper_n be_v set_v forth_o and_o those_o additional_a though_o hitherto_o but_o partial_a
