of_o their_o service_n be_v wrong_a oppression_n misdemeanour_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o that_o act_n can_v secure_v they_o from_o this_o declaration_n 2._o again_o the_o army_n petition_n

measure_n of_o justice_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o other_o into_o their_o hand_n it_o be_v not_o deny_v but_o the_o parliament_n do_v judge_v as_o by_o right_a to_o they_o it_o belong_v that_o the_o force_n raise_v by_o the_o king_n be_v to_o invade_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o people_n and_o that_o they_o publish_v the_o same_o in_o their_o declaration_n and_o raise_v both_o this_o and_o
