upon_o this_o occasion_n it_o come_v fresh_a into_o our_o mind_n that_o when_o by_o the_o treachery_n of_o some_o officer_n of_o the_o army_n you_o be_v interrupt_v we_o declare_v to_o the_o world_n that_o the_o ground_n of_o our_o undertake_n be_v not_o only_o your_o return_n to_o your_o trust_n but_o also_o the_o vindication_n of_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o people_n and_o the_o preservation_n

be_v much_o in_o expectation_n of_o and_o that_o many_o sober_a people_n together_o with_o ourselves_o be_v under_o fear_n lest_o this_o great_a price_n that_o god_n have_v put_v into_o your_o and_o

and_o such_o who_o be_v active_a enough_o in_o the_o late_a defection_n though_o we_o be_v far_o from_o wish_v the_o ruin_n of_o any_o yet_o we_o can_v desire_v that_o your_o signal_n indulgence_n to_o late_a notorious_a offender_n do_v meet_v with_o that_o candid_a reception_n from_o they_o as_o to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o ingenuous_a in_o their_o profess_a repentance_n but_o we_o

to_o suspect_v that_o we_o be_v in_o some_o danger_n of_o return_v into_o the_o late_a distemper_n that_o you_o and_o the_o nation_n be_v but_o new_o deliver_v from_o we_o be_v not_o ignorant_a that_o there_o be_v those_o who_o late_o strike_v at_o the_o root_n of_o english_a parliament_n in_o practice_n and_o design_n thereby_o have_v inflame_v the_o nation_n and_o give_v great_a advantage_n to_o the_o common_a enemy_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o without_o a_o strange_a confidence_n to_o precipitate_v man_n into_o a_o belief_n that_o they_o be_v the_o only_a person_n against_o the_o one_o and_o for_o the_o other_o with_o grief_n of_o heart_n we_o do_v remember_v and_o will_v lament_v over_o the_o too_o palpable_a breach_n of_o engagement_n in_o this_o nation_n therefore_o we_o shall_v

to_o provoke_v the_o parliament_n to_o enforce_v a_o oath_n upon_o the_o nation_n and_o do_v take_v notice_n that_o among_o other_o there_o be_v some_o who_o be_v most_o forward_o to_o promote_v the_o

of_o the_o most_o conscientious_a and_o sober_a sort_n of_o man_n from_o serve_v under_o you_o in_o civil_a and_o military_a employment_n who_o have_v and_o will_v prove_v themselves_o most_o

have_v present_v you_o with_o our_o fear_n we_o shall_v add_v our_o resolution_n that_o by_o the_o help_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v stand_v by_o you_o in_o the_o pursuance_n of_o what_o we_o have_v

speedy_o pass_v and_o in_o regard_n we_o find_v that_o the_o grand_a cause_n of_o the_o present_a heat_n and_o dissatisfaction_n in_o the_o nation_n be_v because_o they_o be_v not_o full_o represent_v
