house_n right_o honourable_a and_o noble_a lord_n i_o do_v humble_o entreat_v to_o know_v why_o your_o lordship_n do_v slight_a i_o as_o if_o i_o be_v a_o fool_n or_o a_o ass_n i_o tell_v you_o true_o

it_o be_v a_o great_a wonder_n unto_o i_o that_o your_o lordship_n do_v suffer_v so_o many_o unskilful_a soldier_n to_o go_v over_o for_o ireland_n to_o do_v the_o king_n majesty_n service_n that_o be_v not_o able_a to_o lead_v a_o company_n neither_o do_v they_o know_v what_o belong_v to_o a_o soldier_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o your_o lordship_n leave_v i_o out_o that_o be_o able_a to_o do_v the_o king_n majesty_n better_a service_n than_o all_o the_o soldier_n that_o be_v now_o to_o be_v send_v over_o for_o ireland_n so_o that_o if_o your_o lordship_n please_v to_o pay_v for_o the_o

of_o all_o those_o man_n that_o be_v now_o to_o go_v over_o for_o ireland_n i_o will_v undertake_v to_o get_v in_o all_o ireland_n in_o three_o or_o four_o month_n at_o the_o far_a or_o else_o if_o i_o do_v it_o not_o i_o will_v give_v they_o leave_v to_o take_v off_o my_o head_n if_o my_o commander_n will_v be_v as_o forward_o as_o myself_o and_o yet_o i_o will_v do_v all_o thing_n with_o

will_v not_o give_v i_o the_o command_n of_o all_o the_o soldier_n that_o go_v for_o ireland_n at_o this_o time_n i_o will_v not_o go_v for_o ireland_n but_o i_o will_v go_v for_o another_o country_n where_o i_o will_v have_v a_o great_a command_n than_o all_o this_o which_o i_o have_v desire_v from_o your_o lordship_n but_o i_o yet_o live_v in_o hope_n that_o you_o will_v be_v please_v to_o believe_v i_o and_o help_v i_o that_o live_v in_o great_a misery_n by_o reason_n that_o i_o have_v maintain_v a_o thousand_o soldier_n in_o this_o city_n to_o do_v the_o king_n service_n in_o

penny_n to_o help_v i_o at_o this_o time_n to_o buy_v i_o bread_n so_o that_o i_o be_o like_a to_o be_v starve_v for_o want_v of_o meat_n and_o drink_n and_o do_v walk_v into_o the_o field_n very_o late_o to_o gather_v snail_n in_o the_o nettle_n and_o bring_v a_o bag_n of_o they_o home_o to_o eat_v and_o do_v now_o feed_v on_o they_o for_o want_v of_o other_o meat_n to_o the_o great_a shame_n of_o this_o land_n and_o those_o that_o do_v not_o help_v i_o but_o rather_o command_v their_o servant_n to_o keep_v i_o out_o of_o their_o gate_n and_o that_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o essex_n and_o the_o lord_n of_o devonshire_n but_o i_o thank_v the_o good_a lord_n of_o pembroke_n and_o the_o lord_n keeper_n and_o the_o earl_n of_o hartford_n and_o my_o lord_n major_a and_o some_o other_o knight_n as_o sir_n john_n worstenholm_n and_o other_o do_v help_v i_o sometime_o with_o a_o meal_n meat_n but_o not_o always_o for_o i_o eat_v snail_n and_o brown_a bread_n and_o drink_v small_a beer_n and_o some_o time_n water_n and_o this_o i_o have_v think_v good_a to_o make_v know_v unto_o your_o lordship_n hope_v that_o your_o honour_n will_v help_v i_o now_o with_o some_o relief_n or_o else_o i_o shall_v be_v force_v present_o to_o run_v out_o of_o the_o land_n to_o serve_v another_o king_n and_o do_v he_o all_o the_o great_a service_n which_o i_o will_v rather_o do_v unto_o my_o own_o most_o gracious_a king_n who_o will_v not_o suffer_v i_o to_o want_v if_o i_o have_v money_n to_o bring_v i_o unto_o his_o majesty_n for_o i_o will_v do_v he_o true_a and_o faithful_a service_n in_o ireland_n and_o can_v do_v he_o very_o great_a service_n if_o his_o majesty_n want_v money_n i_o will_v undertake_v to_o fetch_v his_o majesty_n home_o twenty_o million_o of_o gold_n and_o silver_n in_o ready_a coin_n in_o the_o space_n of_o twelve_o or_o fourteen_o weeck_n if_o this_o service_n be_v not_o worthy_a of_o meat_n and_o drink_n judge_v you_o that_o be_v grave_a and_o wise_a lord_n of_o the_o parliament_n for_o i_o will_v make_v no_o more_o petition_n unto_o your_o lordship_n for_o i_o have_v make_v many_o but_o have_v not_o get_v any_o answer_n of_o they_o and_o therefore_o if_o your_o lordship_n will_v neither_o entertain_v i_o nor_o give_v i_o money_n to_o buy_v i_o meat_n and_o drink_n i_o will_v go_v with_o as_o much_o speed_n as_o i_o can_v into_o other_o country_n rather_o than_o i_o will_v be_v starve_v here_o for_o i_o protest_v i_o can_v endure_v this_o misery_n any_o long_o for_o it_o be_v worse_a to_o i_o then_o when_o i_o do_v eat_v horse_n flesh_n and_o bread_n make_v of_o the_o bark_n of_o tree_n mingle_v with_o hay_n dust_n and_o this_o be_v in_o parno_n in_o list-land_n when_o we_o be_v beleaguer_v by_o the_o polonian_n but_o now_o to_o proceed_v further_o i_o have_v offer_v to_o show_v your_o lordship_n my_o instrument_n of_o war_n and_o many_o other_o thing_n which_o i_o can_v do_v fit_a for_o the_o war_n and_o yet_o

great_a shame_n to_o all_o this_o land_n the_o lord_n of_o pembroke_n the_o lord_n craven_n and_o many_o other_o lord_n and_o knight_n and_o gentleman_n both_o in_o this_o country_n and_o other_o country_n beyond_o the_o sea_n as_o grave_a maurice_n the_o marquess_n of_o brunningburgh_n and_o last_o the_o king_n of_o swetheland_n they_o all_o know_v that_o i_o be_o a_o old_a experience_a

thousand_o polonian_n by_o the_o art_n of_o my_o instrument_n of_o war_n when_o i_o first_o invent_v they_o and_o do_v that_o great_a service_n for_o the_o emperor_n of_o russia_n i_o do_v hereby_o tell_v you_o true_o i_o be_o able_a to_o do_v my_o king_n and_o country_n the_o best_a service_n of_o any_o man_n in_o christendom_n and_o i_o will_v maintain_v it_o with_o my_o art_n and_o skill_n and_o with_o my_o sword_n in_o the_o face_n of_o all_o my_o enemy_n that_o do_v abuse_v i_o to_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o parliament_n and_o other_o and_o if_o i_o do_v know_v they_o i_o will_v fight_v with_o they_o where_o they_o dare_v and_o also_o disgrace_v they_o i_o speak_v this_o because_o i_o do_v hear_v that_o some_o of_o they_o have_v disgrace_v i_o unto_o some_o of_o the_o great_a lord_n of_o the_o parliament_n let_v those_o soldier_n argue_v with_o i_o and_o i_o will_v make_v fool_n of_o they_o all_o for_o matter_n of_o war_n although_o they_o have_v persuade_v the_o lord_n to_o slight_v i_o and_o therefore_o i_o say_v again_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v the_o king_n that_o good_a service_n which_o i_o can_v do_v he_o both_o by_o sea_n and_o land_n and_o so_o i_o humble_o take_v my_o leave_n of_o your_o lordship_n be_v very_o desirous_a to_o speak_v with_o all_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o parliament_n if_o they_o will_v vouchsafe_v to_o speak_v with_o i_o
