Or a vindication of some truths formerly declared, from those aspersions which have been (by reason of some misapprehensions) cast upon them; now published for the satisfaction and benefit of others. With a preambular epistle to all sorts of men. As also a parcell of good counsell, if you can take it. / By Captain Francis Freeman, a late member of the army.

nevertheless_o i_o have_v think_v good_a to_o give_v you_o a_o cautional_a hint_n of_o some_o special_a observation_n which_o i_o have_v take_v touch_v the_o several_a greevance_n of_o the_o people_n who_o lie_v under_o many_o grievous_a pressure_n and_o burden_n and_o expect_v relief_n and_o comfort_n from_o you_o which_o will_v be_v by_o prescribe_v wholesome_a law_n according_a to_o the_o present_a constitution_n of_o this_o nation_n and_o a_o due_a execution_n thereof_o as_o it_o be_v before_o the_o norman_a conquest_n for_o you_o know_v that_o the_o people_n have_v live_v under_o a_o kingly_a power_n many_o hundred_o year_n and_o have_v be_v hold_v in_o bondage_n and_o slavery_n ever_o since_o the_o conquest_n under_o those_o law_n which_o be_v prescribe_v by_o a_o usurper_n and_o have_v be_v still_o keep_v under_o the_o normand_n yoke_n by_o reason_n of_o a_o absolute_a arbitrary_a power_n domineer_a over_o they_o raise_v up_o by_o william_n the_o conquetor_n when_o he_o have_v subdue_v this_o nation_n by_o the_o sword_n then_o those_o who_o be_v his_o creature_n his_o favourit_n he_o create_v they_o to_o be_v lord_n of_o manor_n and_o so_o divide_v and_o distribute_v the_o land_n among_o themselves_o and_o the_o poor_a people_n to_o become_v tenant_n unto_o they_o and_o to_o pay_v a_o small_a rent_n at_o first_o to_o bring_v they_o under_o the_o yoke_n and_o so_o to_o acknowledge_v they_o to_o be_v their_o lord_n and_o master_n and_o hence_o come_v in_o that_o which_o we_o call_v propriety_n as_o derive_v from_o the_o norman_a conquest_n now_o after_o this_o these_o great_a lord_n of_o manor_n by_o marriage_n match_v their_o son_n and_o daughter_n together_o join_v house_n to_o house_n and_o land_n to_o land_n and_o so_o become_v great_a lord_n than_o ever_o and_o exhaust_v great_a rent_n from_o their_o poor_a tenant_n by_o degree_n and_o all_o to_o uphold_v they_o in_o their_o pride_n and_o so_o to_o maintain_v they_o in_o their_o pomp_n and_o vanity_n and_o lordly_a dignity_n and_o so_o the_o poor_a people_n come_v to_o be_v mere_a slave_n to_o their_o lord_n and_o master_n their_o rent_n be_v continual_o raise_v and_o set_v upon_o the_o rack_n and_o tenterhoock_n of_o their_o wicked_a conscience_n and_o be_v not_o able_a to_o maintain_v themselves_o and_o family_n though_o at_o a_o pitiful_a poor_a low_a rate_n both_o in_o food_n and_o raiment_n notwithstanding_o all_o their_o labour_n and_o painstaking_a both_o early_a and_o late_o but_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o the_o maintenance_n of_o propriety_n in_o this_o way_n and_o by_o such_o law_n will_v be_v the_o destruction_n of_o it_o and_o i_o think_v i_o see_v it_o already_o destroy_v and_o you_o know_v that_o the_o stander-by_n sometime_o see_v more_o than_o the_o gamester_n and_o true_o for_o my_o part_n i_o see_v a_o exceed_a unequal_a distribution_n of_o thing_n some_o all_o and_o some_o nothing_o at_o all_o and_o the_o poor_a daily_o cry_v out_o for_o bread_n bread_n bread_n for_o the_o lord_n sake_n and_o few_o or_o none_o lay_v it_o to_o heart_n when_o many_o of_o your_o great_a lord_n have_v ten_o fifteen_o twenty_o thousand_o pound_n per_fw-la

and_o in_o the_o delight_n and_o pleasure_n of_o this_o world_n and_o true_o i_o do_v believe_v i_o speak_v with_o the_o least_o though_o i_o speak_v it_o with_o much_o grief_n that_o for_o every_o one_o that_o have_v but_o ten_o thousand_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la there_o be_v two_o hundred_o thousand_o family_n and_o more_o that_o have_v not_o so_o much_o and_o so_o proportionable_a of_o all_o the_o rest_n i_o speak_v from_o experience_n of_o my_o late_a travel_n in_o the_o north_n where_o i_o have_v see_v multitude_n of_o
to_o raise_v two_o new_a troop_n in_o the_o room_n of_o those_o two_o that_o go_v for_o the_o service_n of_o ireland_n and_o his_o own_o troop_n and_o the_o major_n to_o be_v make_v troop_n of_o

will_v fulfil_v his_o own_o will_n and_o for_o the_o accomplishment_n thereof_o you_o shall_v see_v how_o he_o have_v give_v the_o self-denying_a ordinance_n a_o total_a rout_n that_o it_o can_v be_v able_a to_o rally_v again_o for_o he_o get_v a_o commission_n for_o his_o brother_n to_o be_v captain_n to_o one_o troop_n his_o son-in-law_n to_o be_v capt._n of_o the_o other_o and_o his_o brother_n in_o law_n to_o be_v his_o lie_n ut_fw-la but_o as_o for_o his_o son-in-law_n he_o be_v a_o mere_a stranger_n to_o i_o but_o i_o have_v hear_v a_o very_a good_a report_n of_o he_o that_o he_o be_v a_o deserve_a man_n and_o true_o for_o my_o part_n i_o know_v nothing_o to_o the_o contrary_a out_o for_o the_o other_o two_o i_o shall_v appeal_v to_o all_o that_o know_v they_o whether_o or_o no_o they_o be_v fit_a for_o any_o such_o employment_n unless_o it_o be_v to_o receive_v the_o state_n money_n if_o they_o can_v tell_v how_o to_o tell_v it_o but_o howsoever_o here_o you_o may_v see_v a_o

not_o be_v mock_v but_o no_o more_o of_o this_o i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o the_o next_o the_o next_o order_n i_o receive_v be_v to_o send_v ten_o of_o my_o troop_n towards_o the_o raise_n of_o

into_o scotland_n be_v much_o weaken_v and_o those_o leave_v behind_o we_o have_v order_n to_o march_v with_o all_o speed_n into_o the_o north._n now_o the_o first_o randesvouz_n we_o have_v together_o except_o the_o colonel_n own_o troop_n be_v beyond_o swarson-bridge_n over_o the_o river_n trent_n where_o we_o receive_v order_n for_o our_o several_a troop_n to_o quarter_n in_o

the_o old_a point_n which_o be_v misapprehend_v before_o and_o true_o for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v before_o we_o part_v he_o have_v be_v full_o satisfy_v and_o his_o wrath_n appease_v for_o we_o part_v upon_o very_o fair_a term_n and_o the_o major_n do_v much_o rejoice_v at_o it_o who_o afterward_o tell_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o officer_n that_o he_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o business_n

to_o hear_v of_o it_o but_o now_o you_o shall_v see_v that_o malice_n can_v never_o lie_v long_o hide_v but_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n burst_v forth_o notwithstanding_o his_o fair_a outside_n and_o his_o prorestation_n to_o the_o major_n that_o he_o bear_v no_o malice_n towards_o i_o yet_o he_o have_v the_o very_a gall_n of_o bitterness_n in_o his_o breast_n as_o may_v appear_v for_o about_o three-day_n after_o we_o have_v a_o randesvouz_n and_o a_o muster_n at_o winfield_n manner_n and_o we_o receive_v fourteen_o day_n pay_v but_o till_o after_o muster_n there_o be_v no_o seem_a

and_o flatter_v with_o they_o exceed_o but_o my_o troop_n answer_v he_o plain_o that_o they_o desire_v no_o other_o captain_n they_o have_v long_a time_n have_v experience_n of_o i_o &_o that_o i_o have_v always_o prove_v a_o honest_a man_n to_o they_o now_o after_o i_o have_v receive_v the_o money_n the_o major_a and_o i_o come_v up_o into_o the_o field_n not_o think_v of_o any_o design_n

of_o they_o and_o command_v the_o major_a likewise_o to_o send_v no_o more_o order_n to_o i_o but_o to_o my_o lieut._n but_o when_o he_o have_v thus_o utter_v his_o mind_n i_o tell_v he_o that_o we_o

grant_v i_o a_o hear_n at_o a_o counsel_n at_o war_n i_o will_v either_o stand_v or_o fall_v by_o it_o then_o the_o colonel_n in_o a_o furious_a rage_n do_v protest_v that_o if_o i_o march_v any_o
