that_o the_o commonwealth_n be_v bring_v into_o great_a strait_n want_n and_o peril_n by_o the_o treason_n and_o oppression_n of_o the_o say_a enemy_n it_o be_v reasonable_a because_o the_o owner_n of_o those_o office_n good_n and_o estate_n have_v by_o the●●_n countenance_v of_o foment_v this_o curse_a war_n and_o be_v the_o mouser_n both_o of_o those_o great_a necessity_n and_o mischief_n which_o now_o oppress_v we_o it_o be_v just_a in_o regard_n the_o traitor_n who_o seduce_v the_o king_n do_v first_o procure_v he_o to_o confiscate_v and_o dispose_v of_o the_o estate_n of_o his_o

wheresoever_o present_a profit_n be_v make_v contribution_n to_o the_o war_n be_v always_o pay_v out_o of_o the_o same_o according_a to_o the_o benefit_n and_o that_o every_o commander_n officer_n

of_o what_o he_o have_v purchase_v but_o it_o will_v make_v he_o also_o hasten_v the_o speedy_a finish_n of_o the_o war_n that_o he_o may_v enjoy_v his_o achievement_n in_o peace_n whereas_o have_v their_o pay_n mere_o in_o money_n which_o most_o of_o they_o spend_v as_o fast_o as_o they_o receive_v it_o some_o of_o they_o will_v endeavour_v to_o prolong_v the_o war_n for_o the_o long_a
