ourselves_o quit_v of_o that_o scandalous_a and_o infamous_a brand_n of_o bloody_a rebel_n for_o the_o obtain_n of_o which_o we_o desire_v that_o some_o convenient_a place_n may_v be_v appoint_v where_o a_o considerable_a number_n of_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n both_o of_o your_o party_n and_o we_o may_v have_v some_o time_n perfixt_v to_o meet_v with_o free_a commission_n on_o both_o side_n to_o treat_v and_o consult_v together_o that_o thereby_o with_o god_n assistance_n we_o may_v enjoy_v at_o length_n a_o happy_a peace_n and_o union_n and_o this_o miserable_a and_o bleed_a kingdom_n preserve_v from_o far_a ruin_n and_o desolation_n which_o have_v so_o long_o lie_v welter_v in_o its_o own_o gore_n and_o the_o distress_a inhabitant_n restore_v to_o their_o former_a peace_n and_o plenty_n but_o this_o our_o real_a and_o sincere_a request_n some_o may_v conjecture_v may_v proceed_v from_o our_o cowardly_a fear_n or_o policy_n that_o by_o this_o mean_n of_o treaty_n the_o action_n of_o the_o army_n for_o this_o summer_n may_v be_v retard_v but_o if_o any_o do_v look_v upon_o our_o force_n at_o home_n in_o garrison_n and_o abroad_o in_o the_o field_n they_o will_v find_v that_o we_o stand_v not_o in_o need_n of_o cessation_n for_o want_n of_o force_n to_o keep_v the_o field_n and_o we_o be_v confident_a it_o be_v not_o unknown_a to_o most_o of_o you_o for_o although_o that_o part_n of_o a_o army_n then_o at_o lnishknock_n with_o general_n preston_n receive_v some_o damage_n yet_o have_v we_o a_o army_n in_o the_o field_n march_v under_o general_n owen_n oneale_n which_o be_v not_o engage_v there_o nor_o elsewhere_o since_o their_o last_o victory_n at_o blackwater_n which_o army_n be_v it_o speak_v without_o vain_a glory_n be_v almost_o double_a the_o number_n the_o man_n which_o you_o have_v in_o arm_n in_o this_o kingdom_n and_o of_o their_o valour_n we_o presume_v that_o the_o scot_n and_o your_o other_o force_n in_o ulster_n can_v give_v a_o sufficient_a testimony_n of_o yet_o put_v the_o case_n we_o have_v not_o this_o army_n yet_o god_n be_v praise_v this_o kingdom_n or_o at_o least_o this_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n in_o our_o possession_n be_v not_o so_o ill_o store_v with_o man_n nor_o our_o magazine_n with_o arm_n and_o ammunition_n but_o we_o can_v have_v recrute_v general_n prestons_n army_n with_o double_a the_o number_n he_o lose_v at_o lnishknock_n wherefore_o you_o may_v clear_o see_v it_o be_v not_o the_o want_n of_o man_n or_o ammunition_n that_o induce_v we_o to_o parley_n but_o if_o you_o shall_v find_v your_o heart_n so_o peaceable_o incline_v as_o to_o admit_v of_o it_o there_o may_v be_v such_o care_n take_v on_o both_o side_n for_o the_o security_n of_o the_o commissioner_n and_o yet_o no_o cessation_n of_o arm_n for_o the_o soldier_n till_o the_o commissioner_n shall_v conclude_v and_o agree_v thereunto_o but_o for_o the_o army_n to_o proceed_v in_o any_o way_n of_o hostility_n to_o either_o best_o advantage_n notwithstanding_o the_o treaty_n and_o yet_o to_o be_v be_v no_o prejudice_n to_o the_o commissioner_n of_o either_o side_n we_o also_o desire_v that_o we_o may_v have_v the_o same_o privilege_n as_o other_o his_o majesty_n subject_n have_v in_o the_o like_a nature_n viz._n to_o send_v a_o convenient_a number_n of_o commissioner_n who_o we_o shall_v think_v

to_o the_o king_n majesty_n and_o to_o the_o honourable_a house_n of_o parliament_n there_o by_o which_o our_o action_n past_a and_o our_o future_a intention_n may_v be_v clear_v before_o the_o face_n

think_v it_o prejudicial_a to_o you_o to_o have_v any_o number_n of_o commissioner_n to_o go_v for_o england_n we_o shall_v then_o desire_v that_o only_o two_o who_o we_o shall_v appoint_v may_v
