if_o his_o personal_a action_n contrary_a to_o law_n do_v direct_o and_o open_o tend_v to_o the_o prejudice_n and_o spoil_v of_o his_o crown_n and_o dignity_n by_o his_o voluntary_a subject_v they_o to_o a_o foreign_a power_n contrary_a to_o the_o plain_a and_o primary_n intention_n and_o letter_n of_o the_o oath_n subvert_v the_o legal_a constitution_n and_o enervate_v the_o very_a law_n by_o

imagine_v that_o the_o oath_n will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o consider_v the_o person_n and_o crown_n of_o the_o king_n thus_o divide_v but_o that_o it_o bind_v we_o to_o assist_v and_o defend_v they_o together_o it_o be_v true_a while_o they_o be_v keep_v together_o but_o if_o the_o king_n himself_o divide_v they_o and_o it_o be_v become_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o assist_v his_o person_n
