parliament_n and_o army_n in_o this_o both_o kirk_n and_o state_n do_v concur_v it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o kirk_n do_v in_o that_o transaction_n require_v a_o band_n of_o

for_o constitute_v the_o en●uing_a general_n assembly_n we_o may_v ere_o long_o be_v lead_v back_o to_o prelacy_n and_o popery_n the_o nine_o step_n be_v that_o election_n of_o commissioner_n be_v make_v general_o in_o presbytery_n according_a to_o these_o prelimitation_n and_o they_o be_v meet_v at_o st._n andrews_n do_v refuse_v the_o peaceable_a overture_n make_v to_o they_o by_o these_o
