the_o help_n of_o the_o gibeonite_n against_o the_o israelite_n sure_o it_o have_v be_v preposterous_a 2_o if_o you_o say_v the_o king_n have_v swear_v to_o protect_v they_o every_o way_n you_o

he_o you_o remember_v and_o we_o too_o the_o king_n of_o france_n and_o i_o believe_v some_o of_o the_o assistant_n of_o his_o majesty_n that_o now_o be_v the_o son_n their_o near_a friend_n shall_v

by_o the_o law_n it_o be_v no_o protection_n but_o a_o toleration_n like_o that_o of_o usury_n etc._n etc._n in_o our_o land_n but_o the_o papist_n themselves_o renounce_v our_o law_n the_o last_o

for_o who_o the_o law_n protect_v not_o the_o king_n either_o can_v or_o ought_v not_o to_o protect_v but_o the_o law_n protect_v not_o papist_n therefore_o the_o king_n ought_v not_o to_o protect_v
