a_o brief_a and_o true_a relation_n of_o the_o siege_n and_o surrender_v of_o king_n lin_z to_o the_o earl_n of_o manchester_n king_n lin_z be_v seated_z upon_o a_o arm_n of_o the_o sea_n which_o

itself_o under_o pretence_n of_o neutrality_n and_o when_o at_o any_o time_n the_o parliament_n upon_o their_o miscarriage_n question_v they_o or_o require_v any_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v by_o they_o they_o still_o refuse_v and_o by_o degree_n appear_v more_o and_o more_o for_o the_o other_o party_n against_o the_o parliament_n the_o earl_n of_o manchester_n be_v make_v major_a general_n of_o the_o associate_v county_n think_v it_o most_o necessary_a to_o secure_v that_o backdoor_n which_o be_v so_o convenient_a a_o inlet_n to_o the_o enemy_n may_v divert_v he_o when_o he_o shall_v

whether_o it_o be_v not_o better_a to_o proceed_v by_o block_v up_o rather_o than_o to_o take_v it_o by_o force_n the_o town_n be_v of_o that_o strength_n that_o no_o ordinary_a power_n can_v take_v it_o have_v they_o that_o which_o be_v fit_a for_o defence_n but_o it_o be_v at_o last_o resolve_v to_o attempt_v it_o by_o force_n and_o for_o that_o purpose_n it_o be_v think_v good_a to_o seize_v the_o town_n of_o old_a lin_z which_o be_v in_o marshland_n which_o by_o a_o party_n of_o my_o lord_n force_n be_v according_o do_v and_o ordnance_n plant_v which_o keep_v the_o town_n in_o

to_o batter_v their_o wall_n gate_n and_o fort_n a_o little_a before_o the_o town_n be_v yield_v we_o discover_v a_o hill_n of_o firm_a ground_n that_o be_v near_o to_o that_o end_n of_o the_o town_n
