Also justifying this Parliaments proceedings, by nature, law, and religion, against the false calumniations of all malignants: with an exhortation, to courage, liberality, patience, and constancy, to the hazard of life, and fortunes: in defence of Gods true worship; your own rights, liberties, and this present Parliament; with confidence of a blessing, and victory, like Caleb, and Ioshua: for your God is with you.

as_o we_o have_v see_v quick_o grow_v to_o a_o army_n of_o offence_n first_o to_o hull_n and_o since_o to_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o their_o preparation_n be_v now_o let_v we_o consider_v and_o see_v what_o their_o war_n be_v they_o can_v we_o they_o will_v make_v no_o war_n against_o the_o parliament_n but_o they_o tell_v we_o of_o the_o king_n right_n and_o
