these_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o king_n the_o liberty_n and_o property_n of_o the_o subject_a the_o moderate_n of_o the_o bishop_n power_n and_o the_o removal_n of_o some_o unnecessary_a ceremony_n for_o the_o ease_n of_o tender_a conscience_n nay_o so_o far_o 19_o be_v they_o from_o any_o purpose_n or_o desire_n to_o let_v loose_v the_o golden_a reins_o of_o discipline_n and_o government_n in_o

that_o the_o malignant_a party_n shall_v infuse_v into_o the_o people_n that_o they_o mean_v to_o abolish_v all_o church-government_n and_o leave_v every_o man_n to_o his_o own_o fancy_n for_o the_o

will_v you_o now_o see_v the_o correspondence_n betwixt_o these_o gentleman_n word_n and_o their_o action_n and_o first_o concern_v the_o honour_n of_o the_o king_n wherein_o this_o word_n shall_v
