confirm_v by_o so_o many_o parliament_n i_o much_o doubt_n but_o be_o not_o at_o leisure_n to_o cast_v up_o the_o account_n but_o if_o this_o argument_n be_v good_a presbytery_n shall_v be_v support_v as_o be_v confirm_v by_o many_o parliament_n and_o now_o by_o this_o current_a parliament_n beside_o its_o authority_n from_o scripture_n which_o he_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o for_o prelacy_n his_o second_o inference_n from_o his_o historical_a narrative_n or_o rather_o rail_a accusation_n be_v that_o episcopacy_n be_v necessary_a for_o support_v of_o the_o government_n and_o that_o they_o

his_o 3_o d._n that_o what_o the_o late_a ruler_n do_v be_v do_v by_o law_n and_o that_o these_o law_n be_v make_v for_o preserve_v the_o protestant_a religion_n monarchy_n humane_a society_n and_o

with_o allowance_n on_o person_n live_v in_o peace_n but_o that_o these_o law_n be_v make_v on_o such_o necessary_a ground_n as_o he_o affirm_v be_v a_o assertion_n beyond_o what_o jesuitical_a

out_o of_o it_o all_o who_o own_o the_o christian_a religion_n can_v the_o protestant_n religion_n monarchy_n etc._n etc._n be_v safe_a unless_o people_n be_v force_v to_o wound_v their_o conscience_n

what_o he_o say_v about_o forfeit_v of_o the_o monarchy_n though_o i_o do_v not_o meddle_v with_o thing_n so_o far_o above_o i_o have_v obtain_v with_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o well_o as_o

under_o four_o king_n have_v condemn_v presbytery_n ans_fw-fr if_o that_o prove_v that_o they_o be_v the_o great_a number_n the_o like_a argument_n will_v prove_v that_o we_o be_v more_o numerous_a now_o for_o the_o parliament_n have_v very_o unanimous_o condemn_v their_o way_n next_o he_o will_v prove_v it_o because_o they_o be_v always_o easy_o overcome_v in_o their_o rebellion_n sure_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o king_n charles_n the_o i._o time_n and_o in_o king_n charles_n the_o ii_o time_n it_o be_v not_o the_o presbyterian_o but_o a_o few_o of_o they_o that_o appear_v he_o say_v that_o
