the_o parliament_n for_o some_o notorious_a crime_n it_o be_v grant_v by_o all_o that_o the_o parliament_n have_v a_o power_n to_o send_v a_o sergeant_n at_o arm_n for_o he_o and_o if_o he_o refuse_v to_o come_v that_o sergeant_n at_o arm_n have_v a_o power_n to_o call_v in_o more_o help_n and_o if_o the_o delinquent_n shall_v raise_v twenty_o or_o thirty_o or_o a_o hundred_o man_n to_o rescue_v himself_o than_o the_o parliament_n have_v power_n to_o send_v down_o more_o messenger_n by_o force_n to_o bring_v up_o the_o delinquent_n and_o if_o they_o may_v raise_v a_o hundred_o why_o may_v they_o not_o upon_o the_o like_a occasion_n raise_v a_o thousand_o and_o so_o ten_o thousand_o and_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v protect_v these_o delinquent_n that_o be_v but_o his_o sudden_a will_n the_o doctor_n say_v his_o deliberate_a will_n in_o the_o law_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o his_o sudden_a will_n now_o this_o be_v the_o know_a law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o the_o constant_a

●_o say_v the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o ruler_n that_o we_o be_v to_o obey_v he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n to_o we_o for_o good_a but_o when_o he_o command_v a_o thing_n unlawful_a a●_n

therein_o the_o apostle_n command_v we_o in_o this_o scripture_n to_o be_v subject_n and_o not_o to_o resist_v wherein_o the_o magistrate_n be_v god_n minister_n but_o in_o unlawful_a command_n they_o
