Sax^y^Mvch 2. England meets with
great difficulty in procuring auxiliary
troops from Germany, as it is much against
the will of our people that they go ou[of
their own country. Of the 900 men from

One Lieutenant left his regiment, with 50
men, at Lose, besides many more who

Bid him disband his legions,
Reftorethe CbnimonweMhh to libertv,'"',
.Bid him do this, and (America) is his
friend.#,
But to explain this passage to the Com
missioners, it mull run thus, viz ".With
