           debated
           the
           heads
           of
           the
           Armies

           declare
           a
           very
           ill
           sense
           thereof
           ,
           protesting
           that
           he
           had
           formerly
           a
           good
           opinion
           of
           them
           ,
           and
           little
           thought
           that
           they
           would
           have
           ever
           acted
           so
           contrary
           to
           his
           expectation
           ,
           and
           their
           former
           promises
           ;
           and
           therefore
           desireth
           the
           omnipotent
           God
           of
           Heaven

           to
           whom
           vengeance
           doth
           belong
           )
           to
           repay
           them
           according
           to
           their
           own
           deserts
           ,
           and
