any_o such_o circumstance_n may_v have_v upon_o the_o spirit_n of_o lieutenant_n general_n cromwell_n but_o i_o rather_o conceive_v that_o the_o change_n be_v upon_o this_o occasion_n viz._n that_o the_o presbyterian_a scot_n consider_v that_o lieutenant_n general_n cromwell_n be_v no_o friend_n to_o they_o and_o that_o the_o king_n be_v possess_v with_o deadly_a hatred_n against_o they_o and_o have_v intelligence_n that_o the_o king_n rely_v upon_o the_o lieutenant_n general_n to_o make_v his_o term_n for_o he_o with_o this_o honourable_a house_n and_o well_o weigh_v the_o danger_n to_o which_o they_o be_v expose_v by_o two_o such_o potent_a enemy_n or_o rather_o one_o such_o implacable_a opposer_n back_v with_o a_o potent_a army_n be_v enforce_v in_o respect_n to_o their_o own_o

be_v no_o real_a friend_n to_o the_o king_n negative_a voice_n or_o to_o his_o pretend_a right_n to_o the_o militia_n and_o will_v not_o allow_v the_o king_n in_o their_o own_o kingdom_n a_o negative_a voice_n to_o their_o law_n in_o the_o least_o punctilio_n nor_o the_o least_o shadow_n of_o power_n in_o dispose_v of_o their_o militia_n yet_o a_o necessity_n be_v upon_o they_o to_o outbid_v lieutenant_n gen._n cromwell_n and_o to_o offer_v both_o a_o negative_a voice_n and_o a_o militia_n to_o the_o king_n in_o this_o kingdom_n that_o so_o the_o king_n may_v be_v induce_v to_o cast_v himself_o upon_o they_o and_o presume_v to_o come_v in_o upon_o their_o interest_n hereupon_o the_o king_n as_o he_o say_v at_o ouburne_n accept_v his_o best_a bargain_n and_o take_v their_o
