of_o my_o lord_n together_o with_o some_o note_n and_o remark_n of_o my_o own_o which_o i_o think_v most_o convenient_a to_o place_n by_o themselves_o at_o the_o end_n of_o this_o work_n rather_o

notice_n of_o a_o very_a considerable_a thing_n i_o have_v hear_v which_o be_v that_o when_o his_o lordship_n army_n have_v get_v so_o much_o strength_n and_o reputation_n that_o the_o rebellious_a parliament_n find_v themselves_o overpower_v with_o it_o rather_o than_o to_o be_v utter_o ruin_v as_o be_v unavoidable_a do_v call_v the_o scot_n to_o their_o assistance_n with_o a_o promise_n to_o reward_v so_o great_a a_o service_n with_o the_o four_o northern_a county_n of_o northumberland_n cumberland_n westmoreland_n and_o the_o bishopric_n of_o durham_n which_o i_o have_v not_o mention_v in_o the_o book_n and_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o the_o parliament_n force_n be_v never_o powerful_a nor_o their_o commander_n or_o officer_n famous_a until_o such_o time_n as_o my_o lord_n be_v overpower_v neither_o can_v loyalty_n have_v be_v overpower_a by_o rebellion_n have_v not_o treachery_n have_v better_a fortune_n than_o prudence_n when_o i_o speak_v of_o my_o lord_n pedigree_n where_o thomas_n earl_n of_o arundel_n grandfather_n to_o the_o now_o duke_n of_o norfolk_n be_v mention_v they_o have_v leave_v out_o william_n viscount_n stafford_n one_o of_o his_o son_n who_o do_v

and_o very_o probable_o other_o be_v happen_v partly_o for_o want_v of_o timely_a information_n and_o chief_o by_o the_o death_n of_o my_o secretary_n who_o do_v copy_v my_o write_n for_o the_o

beseech_v my_o reader_n not_o to_o mistake_v i_o when_o i_o speak_v of_o my_o lord_n banishment_n as_o if_o i_o will_v conceal_v that_o he_o go_v voluntary_o out_o of_o his_o native_a country_n for_o it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o his_o lordship_n prudent_o perceive_v all_o the_o king_n party_n lose_v not_o only_o in_o england_n but_o also_o in_o scotland_n and_o ireland_n and_o that_o it_o be_v

till_o his_o majesty_n happy_a restauration_n i_o must_v also_o acknowledge_v that_o i_o have_v commit_v great_a error_n in_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o time_n as_o i_o shall_v have_v do_v in_o many_o
