the_o king_n mercy_n you_o shall_v try_v and_o feel_v his_o justice_n it_o make_v i_o quake_v and_o tremble_v for_o you_o when_o i_o call_v to_o mind_n the_o speedy_a execution_n of_o the_o most_o culpable_a and_o those_o that_o be_v the_o raiser_n &_o seducer_n of_o such_o rebellion_n and_o disobedience_n which_o will_v then_o be_v do_v but_o i_o assure_v myself_o and_o be_o very_o persuade_v that_o when_o you_o shall_v once_o behold_v your_o king_n as_o just_a as_o martial_a and_o arm_a magnanimity_n run_v from_o rank_n to_o rank_n as_o a_o forerunner_n of_o the_o victory_n to_o animate_v his_o troop_n to_o fight_v what_o countenance_n you_o will_v show_v and_o what_o will_v be_v your_o behaviour_n but_o only_o that_o of_o a_o miserable_a company_n of_o sheep_n appoint_v to_o a_o bloody_a slaughter_n altogether_o tremble_v all_o bleat_a all_o desirous_a to_o run_v away_o but_o by_o mean_n of_o your_o fearfulness_n have_v not_o the_o hardiness_n to_o do_v it_o so_o that_o we_o can_v be_v persuade_v that_o if_o you_o do_v but_o once_o call_v to_o mind_n and_o think_v upon_o all_o these_o thing_n together_o you_o can_v be_v so_o hardy_a as_o to_o withstand_v this_o funeral_n blow_n the_o best_a that_o you_o can_v do_v be_v to_o shut_v yourselves_o up_o like_o fearful_a sheep_n within_o 3._o or_o 4._o of_o your_o strong_a town_n and_o there_o be_v obstinate_o bend_v seek_v to_o save_v your_o infortunate_a life_n behind_o the_o rampart_n and_o wall_n of_o the_o same_o but_o good_a lord_n what_o remedy_n be_v this_o to_o have_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o your_o faction_n enclose_v with_o you_o in_o rochel_n saint_n john_n dange_o montauban_n nismes_n and_o in_o such_o town_n as_o you_o have_v make_v choice_n of_o leave_v and_o abandon_v the_o other_o as_o less_o strong_a or_o to_o many_o in_o number_n to_o be_v keep_v by_o so_o small_a a_o number_n of_o mutuous_a person_n leave_v within_o they_o all_o the_o nest_n of_o the_o reform_a sext_n who_o wise_a than_o you_o and_o it_o may_v be_v more_o affect_v to_o their_o religion_n will_v content_v themselves_o obey_v the_o king_n to_o deplore_v and_o lament_v your_o near_o approach_v unfortunate_a state_n but_o do_v i_o say_v shut_v up_o in_o those_o place_n what_o think_v you_o thereby_o to_o do_v o_o it_o be_v possible_a you_o persuade_v yourselves_o to_o weary_a the_o army_n royal_a by_o the_o tongue_n of_o a_o siege_n which_o you_o pretend_v to_o endure_v do_v you_o set_v before_o your_o eye_n the_o happy_a deliveranc_n that_o you_o have_v try_v in_o like_a distress_n in_o the_o former_a war_n you_o say_v and_o blaze_v it_o abroad_o that_o rochel_n be_v as_o strong_a as_o ever_o it_o be_v that_o saint_n john_n dange_o be_v able_a to_o defend_v itself_o that_o all_o your_o town_n be_v in_o better_a state_n to_o resist_v and_o withstand_v the_o force_n of_o a_o puissant_a army_n than_o ever_o they_o be_v that_o it_o be_v which_o you_o say_v and_o the_o same_o wherewith_o you_o nourish_v the_o stubbornness_n of_o these_o among_o you_o that_o have_v least_o insight_n in_o these_o matter_n who_o eye_n if_o they_o be_v capable_a to_o conceive_v it_o i_o must_v open_v and_o cause_v they_o to_o see_v that_o they_o be_v lull_v a_o sleep_n with_o deceitful_a word_n which_o whole_o lead_v they_o unto_o the_o path_n of_o their_o most_o certain_a and_o assure_a destruction_n open_v your_o eye_n then_o i_o pray_v you_o but_o you_o special_o that_o be_v engage_v in_o this_o dangerous_a enterprise_n call_v your_o duty_n to_o remembrance_n and_o show_v forth_o that_o obedience_n which_o lawful_o you_o owe_v to_o our_o king_n you_o be_v his_o subject_n he_o be_v your_o prince_n ordain_v here_o on_o earth_n to_o govern_v and_o rule_v over_o you_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o his_o kingdom_n whereof_o he_o be_v not_o to_o have_v the_o full_a and_o free_a possession_n the_o town_n wherein_o you_o be_v enclose_v be_v as_o much_o his_o as_o all_o the_o rest_n therefore_o it_o make_v i_o wonder_n to_o see_v that_o you_o be_v so_o much_o blind_v as_o to_o be_v rebellious_a against_o and_o obstinate_a to_o execute_v his_o royal_a commandment_n i_o summon_v and_o invite_v you_o once_o again_o to_o know_v yourselves_o and_o to_o yield_v that_o unto_o he_o and_o into_o his_o hand_n which_o belong_v unto_o he_o not_o that_o his_o majesty_n will_v in_o any_o sort_n takeaway_o your_o notable_a and_o ancient_a privilege_n but_o rather_o to_o the_o contrary_a if_o he_o see_v you_o become_v loyal_a and_o obedient_a subject_n he_o will_v give_v you_o many_o other_o send_v a_o honourable_a number_n of_o deputy_n to_o his_o majesty_n humble_o to_o crave_v pardon_n of_o he_o for_o all_o the_o rebellion_n that_o you_o have_v make_v and_o i_o be_o assure_v that_o his_o clemency_n be_v such_o and_o so_o great_a that_o he_o will_v accept_v of_o your_o submission_n pardon_v your_o offence_n and_o forget_v all_o your_o fault_n if_o you_o will_v do_v it_o speedy_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o beseech_v god_n to_o give_v you_o the_o grace_n to_o humble_v yourselves_o and_o to_o obey_v the_o king_n 1621._o
