perchance_o there_o be_v some_o who_o be_v desirous_a to_o hear_v what_o opinion_n we_o have_v in_o the_o country_n touch_v the_o national_a covenant_n late_o tender_v and_o perhaps_o also_o the_o

a_o severe_a judgement_n that_o misjudge_v his_o brother_n but_o doubtless_o he_o expose_v himself_o to_o a_o great_a condemnation_n that_o judge_v scandalous_o of_o a_o whole_a nation_n and_o the_o

at_o the_o money_n which_o they_o be_v to_o receive_v from_o we_o towards_o their_o expedition_n to_o neweastle_v the_o honest_a country_n people_n hold_v it_o good_a counsel_n to_o put_v these_o
