❧_o a_o letter_n of_o advice_n to_o the_o londoner_n to_o forewarn_v they_o of_o their_o near_a approach_a misery_n and_o to_o rouse_v they_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a out_o of_o their_o senslesle_a security_n a_o man_n will_v wonder_v o_o you_o londoner_n to_o see_v how_o amidst_o your_o great_a danger_n you_o be_v least_o circumspect_a and_o active_a in_o prevention_n thereof_o you_o think_v you_o have_v do_v well_o enough_o and_o play_v the_o part_n of_o good_a commonwealth_n man_n if_o you_o can_v hinder_v the_o king_n force_n from_o do_v execution_n upon_o you_o and_o never_o think_v upon_o they_o with_o any_o respect_n to_o yourselves_o till_o they_o advance_v within_o few_o mile_n of_o your_o wall_n that_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n while_o they_o be_v absent_a from_o you_o they_o be_v plot_v and_o contrive_v all_o way_n that_o possible_a can_v be_v to_o endamage_v you_o and_o work_v you_o into_o such_o a_o condition_n that_o when_o they_o come_v next_o at_o you_o they_o may_v the_o easy_o make_v themselves_o master_n of_o your_o city_n when_o they_o have_v gain_v to_o their_o party_n all_o the_o western_a and_o northern_a county_n and_o disarm_v or_o cut_v off_o all_o

your_o trade_n you_o see_v it_o be_v otherwise_o with_o the_o king_n and_o his_o friend_n you_o see_v how_o active_a they_o be_v that_o they_o set_v themselves_o whole_o to_o this_o work_n you_o see_v that_o every_o week_n produce_v some_o notable_a exploit_n they_o have_v enterprise_v to_o their_o real_a advantage_n beside_o what_o private_a succour_n and_o supply_v each_o hour_n afford_v

the_o case_n stand_v you_o have_v do_v as_o much_o as_o nothing_o for_o all_o this_o will_v not_o avail_v you_o for_o you_o see_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o country_n be_v such_o that_o the_o king_n can_v avoid_v your_o soldier_n and_o choose_v whether_o ever_o he_o will_v sight_n but_o when_o he_o be_v sure_a to_o conquer_v where_o his_o enemy_n be_v weak_a and_o unprovided_a or_o that_o
