A66765	Paralellogrammation an epistle to the three nations of England, Scotland, and Ireland, whereby their sins being parallel'd with those of Judah and Israel, they are forewarned, and exhorted to a timely repentance, lest they incur the like condempation : to render it the more effectual, some considerable notions are therein expressed touching ceremonies, and things indifferent, the Lords supper, the civil government, the taking of oaths, the mark of the beast, the library of conscience, the great Sabbath, and the two witnesses, with other particulars of concernment interwoven / written by Geo.

such_o oath_n as_o i_o hear_v be_v tender_v can_v bring_v either_o outward_a detriment_n or_o profit_n unto_o i_o because_o i_o have_v neither_o estate_n or_o liberty_n which_o will_v be_v thereby_o

only_o not_o judge_v the_o conscience_n of_o any_o who_o be_v of_o another_o opinion_n that_o i_o think_v if_o the_o supreme_a power_n or_o person_n be_v doubtful_a upon_o probable_a ground_n of_o

so_o long_o as_o he_o continue_v a_o visible_a possessionary_a power_n able_a to_o protect_v they_o out_o of_o a_o usurper_n hand_n yea_o so_o long_o as_o he_o be_v present_a with_o they_o to_o encourage_v they_o in_o their_o loyalty_n by_o his_o righteous_a act_n or_o suffering_n therefore_o i_o know_v no_o reason_n why_o a_o engagement_n by_o oath_n shall_v be_v deny_v to_o he_o or_o

of_o the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n i_o make_v as_o little_a scruple_n for_o as_o i_o understand_v it_o and_o as_o king_n james_n expound_v the_o same_o it_o intend_v no_o more_o than_o the_o other_o
