the_o rest_n of_o all_o this_o kirk_n be_v desire_v to_o reassume_v the_o doxology_n by_o authority_n of_o the_o king_n majesty_n for_o you_o know_v it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o his_o word_n

therefore_o the_o king_n majesty_n by_o his_o authority_n wise_o and_o pious_o recommend_v the_o reassume_v of_o the_o doxology_n therefore_o in_o refuse_v to_o sing_v the_o doxology_n you_o disobey_v
