A48453	As you were, or, The Lord General Cromwel and the grand officers of the armie their remembrancer wherein as in a glass they may see the faces of their soules spotted with apostacy, ambitious breach of promise, and hocus-pocus-juggleing with the honest soldiers and the rest of the free-people of England : to the end that haveing seene their deformed and fearfull visage, they may be returning to doe their first pretended workes, wipe of their spots, mend their deformities & regaine their lost credit : in a word, save themselves and the gaspeing libertyes of the surprized and enslaved English nation : least enlargement and deliverance arise to the English from another place, but they and their fathers house shall be destroyed : Ester 4. and 14. : all which is contained in a letter directed to the Lord Generall Cromwel, to be communicated to the grandees of his army / written by L.

now_o with_o comfort_n and_o rejoice_v tell_v you_o that_o i_o bless_v god_n that_o i_o have_v this_o testimony_n in_o my_o own_o conscience_n that_o the_o cause_n for_o mannage_a of_o which_o i_o be_o banish_v do_v at_o the_o first_o and_o all_o along_o to_o this_o very_a hour_n do_v appear_v to_o my_o understanding_n &_o judgement_n upon_o the_o strict_a scrutiny_n betwixt_o god_n and_o my_o

ever_o pass_v by_o that_o house_n but_o i_o doubt_v not_o through_o the_o assistance_n of_o god_n in_o a_o short_a time_n to_o make_v it_o clear_o and_o evident_o to_o appear_v in_o every_o
