           the
           dangerous
           consequence
           this
           Faction
           might
           grow
           too
           ,
           if
           not
           crop'd

           I
           presently
           drew
           off

           where
           before
           I
           could
           possibly
           come
           ,
           the
           forces

           whereupon
           I
           made
           my
           approach
           towards
           the

           presently
           charged
