to_o the_o king_n supremacy_n and_o now_o hold_v any_o coequal_a and_o coordinate_a power_n be_v not_o forswear_v to_o he_o that_o be_v supreme_a there_o can_v be_v no_o equal_a neither_o will_v it_o help_v to_o say_v the_o oath_n have_v reference_n to_o foreign_a power_n for_o though_o in_o the_o process_n of_o it_o it_o have_v reforence_n indeed_o to_o foreign_a power_n yet_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o it_o we_o do_v testific_a and_o declare_v in_o our_o conscience_n that_o the_o king_n be_v the_o only_a supreme_a governor_n etc._n etc._n absolute_o and_o general_o without_o any_o exception_n or_o limitation_n at_o all_o and_o who_o can_v give_v we_o a_o power_n to_o understand_v the_o oath_n with_o a_o limitation_n when_o we_o have_v all_o take_v it_o without_o a_o limitation_n ix_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o such_o to_o go_v about_o to_o wrest_v the_o militia_n out_o of_o the_o king_n hand_n when_o we_o have_v in_o the_o same_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n declare_v in_o our_o conscience_n that_o the_o king_n be_v supre_a can_v governor_n etc._n etc._n in_o all_o thing_n or_o canse_v both_o spuituall_a and_o temporal_a if_o the_o militia_n be_v a_o temporal_a business_n temporal_a or_o spiritual_a the_o king_n by_o this_o oath_n must_v be_v supreme_a therein_o and_o here_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v whether_o the_o militia_n be_v not_o already_o sttle_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n if_o yea_o why_o be_v not_o that_o course_n follow_v which_o by_o law_n be_v prescribe_v if_o no_o why_o then_o it_o be_v to_o be_v think_v it_o belong_v to_o the_o king_n prerogarive_v which_o we_o have_v all_o bind_v ourselves_o to_o maintain_v both_o by_o our_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o also_o by_o our_o late_a protestation_n and_o indeed_o how_o can_v he_o else_o be_v a_o king_n for_o without_o it_o he_o can_v afford_v that_o protection_n which_o he_o owe_v to_o his_o subject_n as_o he_o be_v their_o king_n x_o whether_o all_o we_o that_o do_v not_o take_v up_o arm_n in_o behalf_n of_o the_o king_n have_v take_v the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n to_o he_o be_v not_o forswear_v the_o word_n of_o the_o oath_n be_v these_o i_o will_v

and_o attempt_n whatsoever_o which_o shall_v be_v make_v against_o he_o or_o their_o person_n their_o crown_n and_o dignity_n etc._n etc._n these_o be_v the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o oath_n now_o whether_o our_o disregard_n of_o his_o command_n our_o deprave_v his_o government_n our_o fight_v against_o his_o army_n &_o our_o endeavour_n to_o take_v he_o captive_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o almighty_a will_v be_v esteem_v as_o tend_v to_o the_o defence_n of_o his_o person_n crown_n and_o dignity_n be_v such_o a_o scruple_n that_o the_o malignant_n who_o take_v up_o arm_n for_o he_o seem_v more_o direct_o to_o follow_v the_o word_n of_o the_o oath_n and_o think_v that_o none_o do_v right_o perform_v this_o oath_n but_o themselves_o neither_o will_v it_o serve_v the_o turn_n to_o say_v that_o oath_n be_v make_v to_o prevent_v all_o encouragement_n of_o rebellion_n that_o may_v be_v bring_v from_o rome_n for_o divers_a reason_n show_v that_o the_o intent_n of_o the_o oath_n

that_o time_n principal_o suspect_v the_o oath_n do_v principal_o bend_v its_o force_n against_o they_o for_o first_o there_o be_v a_o ancient_a oath_n of_o allegiance_n before_o which_o do_v bind_v the_o subject_n indefinite_o that_o be_v general_o to_o bear_v to_o their_o sovereign_a truth_n and_o faith_n both_o of_o life_n and_o member_n without_o application_n to_o any_o particular_a power_n from_o whence_o rebellion_n may_v be_v suspect_v and_o it_o be_v a_o vain_a thing_n to_o imagine_v that_o in_o a_o oath_n new_o frame_v there_o shall_v be_v a_o gap_n leave_v open_a to_o endanger_v the_o prince_n which_o have_v be_v prevent_v in_o the_o old_a second_o in_o this_o latter_a oath_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o defend_v the_o king_n person_n etc._n etc._n against_o all_o conspiracy_n and_o

do_v not_o violate_v our_o protestation_n so_o long_o as_o we_o join_v with_o the_o two_o house_n at_o westminster_n it_o be_v one_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n that_o none_o of_o the_o member_n shall_v be_v exclude_v thence_o or_o hinder_v from_o vote_v there_o and_o that_o free_o it_o be_v another_o privilege_n that_o no_o foreigner_n scottish_a commissioner_n or_o other_o shall_v have_v

how_o do_v we_o keep_v our_o protestation_n while_o we_o consent_v unto_o and_o join_v with_o they_o xii_o whether_o a_o man_n who_o have_v subscribe_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o book_n of_o homily_n contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o all_o benefice_a man_n and_o lecturer_n have_v do_v as_o will_v appear_v if_o the_o 3._o article_n of_o subscription_n in_o the_o 36._o

they_o but_o himself_o also_o guilty_a of_o rebellion_n there_o be_v four_o homily_n against_o rebellion_n or_o rather_o four_o part_n of_o one_o homily_n wherein_o these_o way_n of_o take_v up_o

the_o popish_a priest_n in_o those_o day_n be_v so_o busy_a to_o stir_v up_o rebellion_n it_o be_v also_o one_o special_a point_n of_o popery_n to_o justify_v the_o arm_n of_o subject_n against_o
