of_o your_o intention_n for_o the_o good_a and_o safety_n of_o religion_n vi_o that_o your_o lordship_n may_v be_v please_v not_o to_o fix_v or_o settle_v upon_o any_o such_o state_n of_o a_o question_n as_o do_v not_o contain_v security_n and_o assurance_n to_o be_v have_v from_o his_o majesty_n by_o his_o solemn_a oath_n under_o his_o hand_n and_o seal_v that_o he_o shall_v for_o

change_n thereof_o and_o that_o this_o security_n be_v have_v from_o his_o majesty_n before_o his_o restitution_n to_o the_o exercise_n of_o his_o regal_a power_n which_o desire_v we_o propound_v for_o no_o other_o end_n but_o because_o we_o can_v see_v how_o religion_n which_o have_v be_v and_o we_o trust_v shall_v be_v the_o principle_n end_n of_o the_o undertake_n of_o this_o nation_n can_v be_v otherwise_o secure_v but_o that_o without_o this_o security_n it_o shall_v be_v leave_v in_o very_o great_a hazard_n vii_o that_o for_o the_o same_o end_n of_o secure_v religion_n which_o be_v

of_o your_o committee_n or_o army_n as_o have_v give_v constant_a proof_n of_o their_o integrity_n and_o faithfulness_n in_o this_o cause_n and_o against_o who_o there_o be_v no_o just_a cause_n of_o
