this_o king_n to_o be_v the_o mean_a time_n asleep_o or_o with_o all_o his_o cardinal_n virtue_n a_o atheist_n for_o if_o he_o be_v not_o a_o papist_n he_o have_v no_o pretence_n to_o any_o religion_n

promise_v upon_o this_o account_n pray_v heaven_n he_o keep_v his_o word_n a_o very_a smart_n argument_n which_o he_o make_v out_o thus_o he_o have_v a_o double_a tie_n of_o nature_n and_o religion_n those_o tie_v indeed_o aught_o to_o be_v very_o strong_a but_o how_o strong_a the_o tie_n of_o nature_n and_o gratitude_n to_o the_o best_a of_o king_n and_o brother_n be_v in_o he_o have_v be_v

contrary_a to_o the_o pride_n and_o interest_n of_o the_o romish_a church_n and_o though_o our_o answerer_n have_v to_o a_o miracle_n confess_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o doctrine_n in_o the_o

then_o grant_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o his_o opposer_n have_v more_o reason_n to_o dread_v his_o power_n for_o it_o be_v a_o know_a maxim_n the_o great_a and_o true_a friend_n the_o most_o

say_v these_o act_n or_o any_o make_v by_o king_n and_o parliament_n be_v unjust_a indeed_o the_o king_n without_o his_o people_n or_o the_o people_n without_o their_o king_n can_v alter_v the_o

all_o the_o way_n upon_o the_o successor_n as_o presuppose_v he_o to_o be_v a_o papist_n and_o consequent_o dangerous_a and_o insufferable_a by_o reason_n of_o that_o persuasion_n and_o very_o
