and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o say_v much_o to_o justify_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o charge_n only_o i_o shall_v desire_v the_o reader_n to_o observe_v this_o that_o where_o his_o

misguided_a and_o misapply_v see_v his_o majesty_n have_v often_o and_o solemn_o promise_v not_o to_o make_v this_o county_n the_o seat_n of_o a_o war_n and_o therefore_o withdraw_v his_o own_o force_n from_o thence_o and_o this_o suspicion_n receive_v more_o strength_n by_o the_o earl_n of_o newcastle_n own_o frequent_a confession_n that_o he_o undertake_v this_o invasion_n upon_o the_o earnest_a entreaty_n of_o some_o of_o the_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n of_o this_o county_n for_o the_o four_o charge_n the_o earl_n of_o newcastle_n do_v not_o deny_v it_o but_o he_o endeavour_v to_o

if_o no_o agreement_n at_o all_o have_v be_v make_v so_o that_o i_o can_v conceive_v how_o it_o shall_v be_v think_v that_o i_o break_v the_o agreement_n unless_o my_o lord_n of_o newcastle_n will_v have_v i_o tie_v to_o perform_v all_o covenant_n and_o allow_v the_o adverse_a party_n a_o popish_a dispensation_n give_v they_o liberty_n to_o violate_v all_o and_o be_v tie_v by_o no_o bond_n nor_o
