With divers queries, observations and grievances of the people, declaring this Parliaments present proceedings to be directly contrary to those fundamentall principles, whereby their actions at first were justifyable against the King, in their present illegall dealings with those that have been their best friends, advancers and preservers: and in other things of high concernment to the freedom of all the free-born people of England; by a well-wisher to the just cause for which Lieutenant Col.

and_o do_v they_o ten_o time_n more_o service_n there_o than_o he_o do_v or_o can_v do_v in_o the_o army_n what_o loss_n have_v the_o commonwealth_n then_o consider_v serious_o the_o grand_a service_n
