we_o may_v also_o go_v further_a back_n than_o to_o the_o covenant_n and_o treaty_n and_o plead_v the_o common_a and_o equal_a interest_n of_o the_o kingdom_n in_o their_o common_a head_n and_o

by_o the_o lord_n of_o his_o majesty_n privy_a council_n in_o england_n that_o the_o great_a affair_n of_o this_o kingdom_n can_v hardly_o dispense_v with_o his_o majesty_n go_v to_o scotland_n and_o therefore_o that_o either_o he_o may_v receive_v his_o crown_n of_o scotland_n by_o a_o vicegerent_n there_o or_o that_o it_o may_v be_v send_v hither_o unto_o he_o like_o as_o this_o present_a

thither_o for_o the_o settle_n of_o peace_n it_o may_v also_o be_v remember_v as_o to_o the_o interest_n of_o england_n that_o the_o english_a nobility_n both_o at_o the_o berks_n anno_fw-la 1639_o
