           At
           the
           sound
           of
           two
           Trumpets
           all
           the
           assembly
           were
           to
           be
           gathered
           at

           one
           Trumpet
           sounded
           ,
           then
           the
           Princes
           ,
           heads
           of
           thousands

           And
           the
           sounding
           of
           these
           Trumpets
           was
           by
           a
           perpetuall
           law
           appropriated

           them
           the
           office
           both

           and
           Trumpets
           too
           ,
           and
           most
           disorderly
           and
           seditiously

           indeed
           what
           else
           can
           be
           expected
           
           from
           such
           unruly
           assemblies

           when
           people

           end

           the

           for
           the
           most
           part
           violent
           and
           feareful
           ;
           In

           knowing
           the

           consequences
           of

           here

           by
           the
           way
           you
           may
           discover
           a
           little
           want

           part
           of
           Rebellion
           ,
           for
           they
           might
           have
           taken
           an
           opportunity
           to
           have
           beene
           gather'd
           together
           by
           the

           begun
           more
           legally
           ,
           and
           perhaps
           might
           better
           have
           defended
           their

           their

           they

           chosen

           their
           ends
           and
           purposes
           ;
           so
           that
           this
           part
           of
           Rebellion
           might
           have
           been
           somewhat
           corrected
           and
           amended
           by

           but
           yet

           for
           those
           that

           need
           not
           stand
           upon

           nice
           points
           of

           their

           part
           of
           Christians

           would
           suffer

           What

           was
           there
           no

           so
           remisse

           yet
           perhaps
           
             Aaron's
          
           eminency
           was
           an
           eye-sore
           to
           them
