whatsoever_o next_o i_o be_o certain_a i_o take_v the_o oath_n in_o that_o sense_n only_o in_o which_o i_o understand_v it_o and_o hence_o i_o be_o certain_a likewise_o that_o i_o deny_v not_o my_o christian_a faith_n or_o any_o other_o truth_n only_o i_o may_v perchance_o have_v some_o small_a doubt_n as_o i_o may_v have_v of_o the_o word_n of_o many_o public_a oath_n in_o the_o world_n which_o be_v notwithstanding_o general_o hold_v to_o be_v lawful_o take_v whether_o the_o sense_n i_o take_v they_o in_o be_v mean_v by_o law_n but_o however_o this_o matter_n be_v or_o whether_o i_o doubt_v or_o not_o doubt_v in_o any_o manner_n at_o all_o sure_o i_o be_o i_o do_v not_o swear_v this_o doubtful_a thing_n to_o wit_n than_o my_o sense_n of_o they_o be_v give_v by_o law_n but_o only_o

reason_n shall_v help_v to_o effect_v a_o general_a persuasion_n that_o the_o oath_n mean_v not_o to_o exclude_v the_o pope_n or_o other_o foreign_a prelate_n pastoral_a power_n in_o all_o contingency_n that_o then_o after_o such_o a_o general_a persuasion_n the_o oath_n may_v be_v lawful_o and_o free_o take_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n because_o no_o tenderness_n can_v be_v too_o great_a in_o such_o matter_n to_o avoid_v give_v offence_n to_o any_o whether_o of_o our_o own_o or_o of_o a_o different_a communion_n who_o if_o they_o understand_v the_o oath_n otherwise_o will_v be_v apt_a to_o judge_v according_a to_o their_o own_o apprehension_n that_o to_o take_v the_o oath_n be_v to_o renounce_v the_o religion_n which_o the_o taker_n profess_v i_o conceive_v it_o advisable_v that_o who_o take_v it_o declare_v plain_o beforehand_o in_o what_o sense_n he_o understand_v it_o viz._n that_o he_o take_v it_o not_o in_o the_o most_o large_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n which_o may_v seem_v to_o some_o to_o deny_v his_o religion_n but_o only_o in_o that_o sense_n which_o to_o the_o best_a of_o his_o judgement_n be_v assign_v it_o by_o law_n or_o in_o that_o sense_n in_o which_o learned_a protestant_n allow_v and_o approve_v by_o public_a authority_n have_v expound_v it_o and_o understand_v it_o to_o be_v the_o law-sense_n of_o it_o or_o that_o he_o understand_v the_o power_n mean_v by_o the_o law_n to_o be_v acknowledge_v in_o the_o king_n be_v the_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n not_o of_o the_o key_n likewise_o that_o the_o key_n be_v not_o deny_v to_o the_o pope_n or_o other_o foreign_a prelate_n but_o the_o sword_n or_o rather_o because_o the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n have_v be_v stretch_v by_o some_o to_o temporal_n to_o the_o dispose_n even_o of_o kingdom_n and_o such_o like_a exorbitancy_n which_o have_v not_o only_o be_v claim_v but_o practise_v and_o the_o power_n to_o do_v they_o all_o the_o while_n call_v the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n it_o be_v fit_a to_o make_v this_o declaration_n in_o word_n not_o liable_a to_o exception_n for_o which_o i_o know_v none_o more_o proper_a than_o those_o before_o mention_v of_o the_o arch_a bishop_n of_o

whole_a in_o truth_n lie_v in_o a_o narrow_a compass_n who_o refuse_v the_o oath_n for_o what_o concern_v the_o pope_n must_v either_o think_v that_o his_o pastoral_a power_n be_v deny_v by_o it_o

to_o be_v very_o clear_a 2._o as_o for_o the_o first_o the_o expression_n of_o the_o oath_n be_v so_o general_a that_o who_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o they_o lie_v there_o and_o judge_n according_a to_o their_o bare_a sound_n have_v reason_n to_o except_v against_o they_o so_o much_o reason_n that_o be_v they_o take_v out_o and_o digest_v into_o proposition_n to_o be_v consider_v and_o judge_v of_o pure_o by_o the_o import_n of_o the_o term_n perhaps_o there_o be_v not_o a_o catholic_n in_o the_o world_n at_o least_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v but_o very_o few_o who_o will_v approve_v they_o in_o likelihood_n our_o ancestor_n who_o refuse_v the_o oath_n look_v upon_o they_o not_o otherwise_o which_o i_o the_o rather_o believe_v because_o i_o see_v that_o many_o i_o think_v the_o

if_o they_o look_v upon_o it_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n 3._o but_o who_o look_v upon_o the_o same_o expression_n as_o part_v of_o a_o oath_n contain_v in_o a_o act_n and_o reflect_v that_o the_o oath_n be_v declare_v to_o be_v for_o the_o better_a observation_n and_o maintenance_n of_o that_o act_n and_o therefore_o and_o in_o force_n of_o the_o general_a rule_n of_o understand_a word_n
