be_v not_o attend_v with_o the_o least_o difficulty_n and_o therefore_o i_o go_v on_o to_o the_o second_o point_n viz._n that_o in_o this_o state_n of_o thing_n the_o estate_n of_o the_o kingdom_n

and_o that_o god_n present_v they_o if_o there_o be_v any_o voice_n or_o language_n in_o his_o providence_n as_o certain_o there_o be_v it_o amount_v in_o our_o case_n to_o a_o manifest_a

follow_v england_n example_n in_o this_o affair_n without_o variation_n and_o this_o i_o think_v may_v easy_o be_v illustrate_v as_o well_o from_o the_o inconvenience_n and_o mischief_n on_o the_o

of_o england_n why_o shall_v we_o then_o be_v tie_v to_o their_o measure_n special_o to_o reject_v total_o our_o king_n who_o as_o to_o we_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o english_a be_v as_o it_o be_v
