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

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
