a_o examination_n examine_v be_v a_o full_a and_o moderate_a answer_n to_o mayor_n inn_n relation_n concern_v the_o siege_n and_o take_n of_o the_o town_n of_o leicester_n by_o the_o king_n force_n the_o last_o of_o may_v 1645._o there_o late_o come_v forth_o a_o examination_n of_o a_o narration_n of_o the_o siege_n of_o the_o town_n of_o leicester_n attest_v by_o james_n inn_n which_o we_o conceive_v to_o be_v major_a inn_n he_o must_v needs_o take_v up_o by_o way_n of_o trust_n what_o this_o pamphet_n contain_v which_o concern_v not_o that_o siege_n for_o he_o be_v not_o in_o the_o town_n above_o one_o week_n we_o wish_v he_o have_v name_v his_o informer_n but_o we_o hope_v soldier_n that_o be_v man_n of_o honour_n and_o prize_v it_o so_o dear_o will_v not_o slander_v other_o from_o less_o than_o honourable_a assurance_n first_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o declare_v that_o complaint_n be_v heretofore_o make_v by_o honourable_a person_n against_o the_o committee_n of_o leicester_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o groundless_a accusation_n nor_o splenative_a aspersion_n we_o think_v he_o mean_v by_o complaint_n those_o word_n speak_v by_o the_o earl_n of_o stamford_n at_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o door_n for_o there_o be_v not_o yet_o any_o complaint_n make_v to_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o &_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o no_o one_o accusation_n raise_v against_o we_o have_v any_o true_a ground_n to_o make_v it_o good_a and_o under_o his_o favour_n if_o he_o or_o other_o divulge_v thing_n from_o honourable_a person_n against_o we_o that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v prove_v they_o be_v splenative_a aspersion_n be_v we_o guilty_a but_o in_o the_o least_o measure_n we_o have_v long_o sithence_o suffer_v and_o we_o still_o justify_v our_o whole_a proceed_n though_o not_o to_o be_v free_a from_o error_n yet_o from_o injustce_n partiality_n or_o any_o just_a imputation_n and_o we_o hold_v it_o forth_o to_o the_o world_n that_o divers_a of_o we_o have_v serve_v

can_v not_o choose_v afterward_o out_o of_o zeal_n to_o the_o public_a but_o continue_v their_o care_n for_o the_o suppress_n of_o it_o though_o the_o full_a manage_n of_o that_o affair_n be_v since_o

danger_n seem_v to_o be_v blow_v over_o to_o this_o we_o answer_v that_o the_o town_n of_o leicester_n be_v not_o begin_v to_o be_v fortify_v till_o about_o three_o quarter_n of_o a_o year_n after_o

commend_v those_o gentleman_n for_o their_o zeal_n to_o the_o public_a and_o their_o forwardness_n in_o fortify_v leicester_n and_o with_o their_o care_n have_v still_o continue_v for_o maintenance_n of_o those_o fortification_n and_o not_o for_o the_o suppress_v they_o as_o be_v confess_v in_o the_o pamphlet_n with_o sadness_n be_v it_o speak_v the_o parliament_n have_v find_v many_o such_o

for_o the_o distinction_n make_v betwixt_o the_o present_a committee_n and_o those_o who_o act_v then_o we_o can_v distinguish_v so_o well_o as_o to_o afford_v they_o their_o say_n since_o none_o

where_o the_o breach_n be_v make_v because_o it_o be_v upon_o m._n wadlands_n ground_n who_o be_v clerk_n to_o the_o committee_n we_o answer_v that_o have_v we_o be_v permit_v to_o fortify_v the_o
