from_o you_o the_o sum_n of_o all_o which_o our_o desire_n as_o soldier_n be_v no_o other_o than_o a_o desire_n of_o satisfaction_n to_o our_o demand_n as_o soldier_n and_o repatation_n upon_o those_o

have_v do_v in_o other_o case_n for_o the_o kingdom_n good_a but_o under_o this_o pretence_n find_v no_o less_o involve_v in_o it_o than_o the_o overthrow_n of_o the_o privilege_n both_o of_o

that_o city_n ought_v to_o make_v good_a their_o miscarriage_n and_o shall_v prefer_v a_o few_o self-seeking_a man_n before_o the_o welfare_n of_o the_o public_a and_o indeed_o we_o have_v find_v these_o man_n so_o active_a to_o accomplish_v their_o design_n and_o to_o have_v such_o apt_a instrument_n for_o their_o turn_n in_o that_o city_n that_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o suspect_v they_o may_v engage_v many_o therein_o upon_o mistake_n which_o be_v easy_o swallow_v in_o time_n of_o such_o prejudice_n against_o man_n that_o have_v give_v we_o may_v speak_v it_o without_o vanity_n the_o most_o public_a testimony_n of_o their_o good_a affection_n to_o the_o public_a &_o to_o that_o city_n in_o particular_a for_o the_o thing_n we_o insist_v upon_o as_o english_a man_n and_o sure_o our_o be_v soldier_n have_v not_o strip_v we_o of_o that_o interest_n although_o our_o malicious_a enemy_n will_v have_v it_o so_o we_o desire_v a_o settlement_n of_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o

full_a of_o the_o sense_n of_o ruin_n and_o misery_n if_o the_o army_n shall_v be_v disband_v before_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o those_o other_o thing_n before_o mention_v have_v a_o full_a and_o perfect_a settlement_n we_o have_v say_v before_o and_o profess_v it_o now_o we_o desire_v no_o alteration_n of_o the_o civil_a government_n we_o desire_v not_o to_o intermeddle_v with_o or_o in_o the_o least_o to_o interrupt_v the_o settle_n of_o the_o presbyterial_a government_n nor_o do_v we_o seek_v to_o open_v a_o way_n to_o licentious_a liberty_n under_o pretence_n of_o obtain_v

intend_v not_o evil_a towards_o you_o declare_v with_o all_o confidence_n and_o assurance_n that_o if_o you_o appear_v not_o against_o we_o in_o these_o our_o just_a desire_n to_o assist_v that_o wicked_a party_n that_o will_v imbroyle_v we_o and_o the_o kingdom_n nor_o we_o nor_o our_o soldier_n shall_v give_v you_o the_o least_o offence_n we_o come_v not_o to_o do_v any_o act_n to_o
