to_o all_o you_o commander_n and_o officer_n of_o the_o army_n in_o scotland_n especial_o and_o to_o all_o elsewhere_o who_o have_v be_v eye_n witness_n of_o the_o favour_n and_o kindness_n of_o the_o lord_n unto_o you_o and_o have_v be_v partaker_n of_o many_o and_o great_a deliverance_n who_o have_v see_v the_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n go_v before_o you_o and_o his_o righteousness_n be_v your_o rearward_n when_o they_o say_v in_o their_o heart_n you_o shall_v become_v as_o a_o booty_n unto_o they_o and_o as_o a_o prey_n to_o feed_v upon_o than_o the_o lord_n appear_v for_o his_o own_o name_n sake_n and_o do_v lift_v up_o a_o standard_n against_o they_o and_o make_v they_o as_o drive_v stubble_n before_o the_o bow_n even_o when_o they_o swell_v as_o jordan_n not_o that_o you_o may_v glory_v in_o strength_n nor_o in_o your_o own_o activity_n but_o in_o he_o who_o teach_v your_o hand_n to_o war_n and_o your_o finger_n to_o fight_v even_o when_o you_o be_v but_o low_o weak_a and_o unable_a in_o your_o own_o sight_n than_o do_v he_o appear_v in_o his_o strength_n that_o none_o may_v glory_v but_o in_o he_o who_o arm_n have_v bring_v salvation_n and_o have_v give_v your_o life_n for_o a_o prey_n and_o have_v raise_v up_o many_o of_o you_o from_o low_a estate_n even_o as_o from_o the_o sheepfold_n to_o be_v ruler_n of_o thousand_o and_o hundred_o of_o fifty_n and_o ten_o consider_v the_o year_n past_a and_o call_v to_o mind_v the_o former_a day_n of_o old_a and_o see_v where_o you_o be_v now_o if_o you_o be_v not_o degenerate_v from_o the_o first_o integrity_n &_o fall_v into_o the_o same_o practice_n &_o abomination_n as_o they_o be_v in_o who_o the_o lord_n scatter_v before_o you_o cast_v out_o as_o a_o abominable_a branch_n &_o do_v not_o think_v in_o your_o heart_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v your_o enemy_n into_o your_o hand_n and_o make_v they_o tributary_n unto_o you_o that_o so_o you_o may_v glory_v in_o your_o strength_n &_o grow_v up_o to_o the_o same_o abomination_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o follow_v the_o lust_n of_o your_o heart_n &_o swell_v up_o in_o pride_n through_o the_o abundance_n of_o spoil_n &_o treasure_n but_o it_o be_v well_o say_v by_o the_o prophet_n when_o ephraim_n speak_v tremble_v he_o exalt_v himself_o in_o israel_n but_o when_o he_o offend_v in_o baal_n he_o die_v and_o this_o be_v a_o commandment_n to_o israel_n that_o when_o they_o come_v into_o the_o land_n which_o the_o lord_n give_v to_o their_o father_n they_o be_v not_o to_o worship_v strange_a god_n neither_o to_o walk_v after_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o heathen_a what_o be_v the_o cause_n do_v you_o judge_v that_o god_n blast_v the_o enemy_n in_o this_o land_n and_o turn_v their_o counsel_n backward_o and_o their_o wisdom_n into_o folly_n and_o make_v their_o prophet_n fool_n and_o their_o deviner_n mad_a be_v it_o because_o you_o be_v more_o than_o they_o or_o your_o strength_n geat_a than_o they_o let_v that_o in_o your_o

the_o priest_n and_o teacher_n and_o with_o the_o false-heartednesse_n of_o the_o people_n for_o every_o one_o deal_v false_o and_o treacherous_o with_o the_o lord_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v so_o
