and_o derive_v from_o and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o eternal_a law_n the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o i_o conclude_v that_o no_o voice_n but_o god_n voice_n be_v to_o be_v hear_v in_o the_o conscience_n as_o command_v there_o and_o bind_v indispensible_o to_o obedience_n this_o determination_n be_v warrant_v by_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v quarrel_v with_o concern_v the_o whole_a i_o shall_v show_v you_o what_o be_v the_o sense_n and_o conscience_n of_o our_o late_a king_n charles_n the_o first_o as_o he_o express_v himself_o in_o that_o book_n of_o he_o entitle_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d

entrench_v on_o god_n his_o sovereignty_n who_o be_v the_o only_a king_n of_o man_n conscience_n and_o yet_o he_o have_v lay_v such_o restraint_n upon_o man_n as_o command_v they_o to_o be_v subject_a for_o conscience_n sake_n give_v no_o man_n liberty_n to_o break_v the_o law_n establish_v further_o than_o with_o meekness_n and_o patience_n they_o be_v content_v to_o suffer_v the_o penalty_n

and_o that_o they_o must_v not_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o man_n answ_n the_o liberty_n unto_o which_o christ_n do_v free_a his_o people_n in_o this_o life_n be_v inward_a and_o spiritual_a gospel_n
