Preached almost a yeer since, and now copied out for the presse; yet not to flatter any, but to inform all. : To the powers I say as Jehosaphat did, 2 Chron. 9.6 ... : To others I say in the words of the apostle, I Pet. 2.13 ... / By Tho.

must_v be_v the_o sense_n namely_o swear_v to_o obey_v magistrate_n yet_o so_o as_o you_o infringe_v not_o your_o allegiance_n unto_o god_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o more_o probable_a

abide_v the_o trial_n betake_v themselves_o to_o flight_n the_o parliament_n therefore_o be_v lawful_o call_v this_o none_o can_v deny_v let_v those_o therefore_o that_o have_v call_v this_o a_o force_a not_o a_o free_a parliament_n either_o answer_n this_o or_o for_o ever_o hereafter_o hold_v their_o peace_n for_o shame_n 2._o again_o the_o solemn_a confirmation_n of_o the_o parliament_n by_o act_n of_o continuation_n in_o which_o this_o present_a differ_v from_o all_o precedent_a parliament_n that_o ever_o i_o can_v hear_v or_o read_v of_o i_o say_v the_o continuation_n of_o it_o 1._o in_o its_o full_a authority_n 2._o and_o with_o all_o its_o right_n and_o privilege_n do_v not_o the_o king_n by_o that_o act_n tie_v his_o presence_n at_o least_o the_o presence_n of_o his_o
