England, and Ransom, the Envoy of England, with many
other men, tom violated the law of every country where
the people abide by laws. Now, all tthedly measures
tried to free them bevies proved useless, I am oomiag,
commended by the Queen, with an army to liberate
them. Whoever is the friend of those prisoners, and
who will help to deliver them, shall be rewarded, but
whoever Wheat, them shall reset,. severe punishment.
Further, refloat in your heart, 0 people of Ethiopia, in

spinet you, your smoky, your liberty and exietesos.
All your persons sad property, all your °caveats and
