Also, a declaration from the King of Scots, how the Army shall be fully satisfied all their arrears, with a large overplus. Together with an assurance and indempnity to all that have been engaged and active in any the late wars. That all armies shall be disbanded, and his goverment alwayes regulated by a free and full Parliament, triennially to be called: and, the people secured of their liberties, and eased of all illegal burthens and taxes.

which_o no_o blessing_n from_o above_o can_v be_v expect_v upon_o our_o government_n 9_o that_o if_o the_o parliament_n shall_v pass_v a_o act_n of_o general_a pardon_n and_o if_o they_o shall_v

parliament_n shall_v be_v by_o we_o due_o observe_v we_o acknowledge_v it_o be_v very_o difficult_a if_o not_o impossible_a to_o please_v all_o especial_o where_o there_o be_v so_o many_o division_n and_o every_o man_n almost_o of_o a_o several_a mind_n and_o opinion_n but_o as_o we_o have_v propose_v to_o ourselves_o so_o shall_v we_o endeavour_v to_o give_v all_o reasonable_a satisfaction_n to_o all_o our_o subject_n and_o if_o the_o act_n of_o the_o representative_n in_o a_o free_a parliament_n of_o their_o own_o choice_n can_v satisfy_v they_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v want_v in_o

all_o those_o our_o friend_n and_o love_a suject_n will_v rest_v full_o satisfy_v with_o what_o we_o shall_v do_v pursuant_n to_o these_o proposition_n we_o be_v desirous_a hereafter_o to_o consider_v their_o suffering_n though_o not_o comparable_a to_o we_o as_o god_n shall_v enable_v and_o in_o all_o just_a and_o lawful_a way_n and_o now_o we_o wish_v that_o all_o the_o people_n of_o england_n will_v remember_v how_o they_o have_v perform_v their_o protestation_n oath_n vow_n solemn_a league_n and_o covenant_n but_o to_o instance_n in_o no_o more_o than_o the_o honour_n and_o privilege_n
