a_o answer_n to_o a_o letter_n from_o a_o freeholder_n of_o buckingham-shire_n to_o a_o friend_n in_o london_n concern_v the_o election_n of_o the_o knight_n of_o the_o say_a county_n sir_n i_o thank_v you_o for_o the_o account_n you_o give_v i_o of_o the_o election_n of_o the_o knight_n of_o the_o shire_n for_o the_o county_n of_o buckingham_n it_o be_v very_o particular_a as_o i_o can_v have_v desire_v and_o show_v a_o hopeful_a and_o forward_a zeal_n in_o the_o duke_n of_o buckingham_n the_o lord_n pagett_n and_o some_o other_o to_o bring_v we_o again_o to_o the_o same_o happy_a day_n which_o i_o remember_v from_o the_o same_o beginning_n in_o the_o same_o county_n in_o the_o year_n 1640_o and_o when_o worthy_a gentleman_n of_o the_o very_a same_o name_n be_v choose_v for_o the_o representative_n of_o that_o shire_n whereof_o one_o of_o they_o have_v the_o honour_n of_o be_v one_o of_o the_o five_o member_n i_o suppose_v these_o noble_a knight_n may_v be_v of_o the_o same_o family_n but_o can_v be_v their_o son_n because_o the_o father_n of_o those_o i_o mean_v happen_v to_o be_v traitor_n which_o i_o perceive_v the_o country_n will_v not_o endure_v by_o their_o cry_v so_o exceed_o they_o will_v have_v no_o traitor_n son_n there_o be_v many_o thing_n in_o your_o letter_n i_o must_v pray_v to_o have_v explain_v as_o who_o you_o mean_v by_o sir_n timber_n t._n sir_n ralph_n v._o and_o a._n sir_n anthony_n c._n have_v it_o be_v sir_n anthony_n a._n c._n i_o shall_v have_v understand_v you_o though_o i_o shall_v have_v wonder_v that_o he_o have_v no_o more_o of_o that_o company_n for_o he_o i_o be_o glad_a to_o hear_v that_o the_o county_n beside_o their_o good_a will_n for_o the_o old_a cause_n be_v in_o so_o good_a readiness_n for_o its_o defence_n as_o to_o have_v 6000_o horse_n drum_n trumpets_z wagon_n etc._n etc._n so_o well_o discipline_v as_o i_o know_v they_o will_v be_v by_o his_o grace_n the_o duke_n of_o buckingham_n but_o when_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o military_a occasion_n for_o they_o i_o shall_v rather_o advise_v our_o countryman_n to_o make_v use_n of_o sir_n richard_n ingoldsby_n for_o their_o commander_n both_o because_o he_o know_v how_o to_o keep_v good_a order_n at_o a_o execution_n and_o because_o his_o grace_n be_v often_o ill_a of_o a_o fall_n from_o his_o horse_n by_o a_o accidental_a mistake_n of_o prince_n rupert_n beside_o his_o grace_n be_v apt_a to_o change_v his_o mind_n out_o of_o good_a nature_n it_o be_v that_o which_o when_o he_o have_v kill_v the_o husband_n make_v he_o live_v so_o kind_o and_o public_o with_o the_o wife_n to_o the_o neglect_v of_o his_o own_o it_o be_v a_o effect_n of_o the_o same_o virtue_n that_o make_v he_o search_v the_o king_n cabinet_n in_o scotland_n for_o fear_v his_o master_n shall_v have_v leave_v any_o paper_n behind_o he_o which_o may_v have_v be_v dangerous_a and_o as_o his_o good_a nature_n make_v he_o do_v these_o thing_n for_o a_o friend_n and_o a_o master_n so_o it_o make_v he_o do_v as_o much_o for_o his_o country_n too_o in_o be_v the_o messenger_n to_o the_o french_a king_n for_o break_v the_o triple_a league_n and_o make_v the_o war_n with_o the_o dutch_a by_o which_o he_o save_v we_o from_o have_v our_o trade_n destroy_v by_o those_o butter-box_n and_o for_o which_o he_o have_v a_o diamond_n sword_n give_v he_o by_o the_o french_a king_n although_o he_o have_v not_o have_v his_o reward_n here_o as_o he_o deserve_v i_o say_v though_o these_o be_v all_o very_a great_a recommendation_n and_o eminent_a proof_n of_o his_o ability_n as_o well_o as_o his_o good_a nature_n yet_o they_o be_v such_o over-politick_a way_n of_o proceed_v for_o our_o country_n understanding_n that_o when_o i_o do_v read_v of_o such_o number_n of_o horse_n with_o drum_n beat_v and_o trumpets_z sounding_z lead_v by_o his_o grace_n the_o duke_n of_o buckingham_n methinks_v i_o rather_o wish_v he_o at_o colledge-hill_n where_o they_o know_v he_o so_o much_o better_a than_o we_o do_v in_o the_o country_n for_o i_o consider_v that_o if_o we_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o fight_v against_o the_o french_a that_o diamond_n sword_n will_v be_v remember_v and_o if_o against_o good_a nature_n will_v come_v in_o again_o and_o he_o will_v either_o remember_v that_o his_o father_n from_o a_o private_a gentleman_n have_v be_v make_v a_o duke_n or_o that_o the_o king_n have_v forgive_v he_o so_o many_o fault_n and_o give_v he_o his_o life_n so_o often_o that_o he_o will_v have_v find_v some_o odd_a way_n at_o last_o of_o save_v buckinghamshire_n by_o give_v we_o up_o to_o be_v govern_v again_o by_o the_o establish_v law_n of_o england_n i_o like_v well_o the_o shout_n and_o cry_v out_o one_o and_o all_o one_o and_o all_o round_o the_o country_n because_o you_o know_v what_o that_o signify_v both_o in_o fleet_n and_o army_n and_o if_o our_o militia_n be_v not_o train_v to_o it_o beforehand_o they_o will_v no_o more_o understand_v what_o that_o mean_n when_o there_o be_v occasion_n than_o they_o do_v the_o word_n of_o command_n i_o like_v also_o extreme_o those_o name_n of_o pensioner_n papist_n and_o betrayer_n of_o their_o country_n to_o be_v use_v upon_o these_o occasion_n because_o they_o will_v serve_v very_o well_o to_o amuse_v the_o people_n and_o may_v be_v apply_v to_o who_o we_o please_v for_o the_o first_o will_v certain_o serve_v to_o be_v employ_v against_o all_o courtier_n the_o second_o against_o all_o conformist_n to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o the_o three_o against_o all_o assertor_n of_o monarchical_a that_o be_v to_o say_v arbitrary_a government_n it_o be_v very_o well_o do_v to_o discountenance_v that_o malignant_a town_n of_o buckingham_n who_o as_o you_o say_v have_v make_v so_o bad_a a_o choice_n that_o i_o hear_v they_o have_v choose_v two_o of_o the_o king_n servant_n and_o one_o of_o they_o not_o only_o a_o traitor_n be_v son_n but_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v he_o may_v be_v as_o bad_a himself_o for_o they_o say_v he_o be_v a_o gentleman_n of_o the_o king_n bedchamber_n but_o you_o must_v remember_v either_o to_o keep_v that_o silly_a loyal_a town_n down_o now_o you_o have_v begin_v or_o if_o ever_o the_o king_n have_v power_n to_o show_v it_o it_o be_v two_o to_o one_o but_o he_o will_v be_v kind_a to_o they_o than_o ever_o he_o be_v we_o hear_v they_o have_v behave_v themselves_o very_o well_o also_o in_o essex_n though_o not_o so_o well_o as_o by_o the_o conduct_n of_o major_n wildman_n it_o have_v be_v manage_v among_o you_o because_o young_a mr._n ireton_n have_v not_o yet_o the_o experience_n to_o advise_v my_o lord_n grey_n as_o the_o major_n have_v the_o duke_n of_o buckingham_n but_o i_o assure_v you_o major_a general_n ireton_n head_n upon_o westminster-hall_n have_v not_o a_o better_a heart_n belong_v to_o it_o to_o do_v his_o country_n service_n than_o this_o young_a gentleman_n and_o the_o lord_n grey_n be_v as_o

and_o some_o of_o his_o relation_n have_v for_o a_o certain_a duke_n but_o thanks_o be_v to_o god_n he_o have_v find_v it_o by_o experience_n to_o be_v but_o a_o court_n friendship_n which_o too_o
