their_o power_n how_o can_v the_o people_n think_v that_o the_o parliament_n do_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n when_o the_o parliament_n be_v the_o judge_n thereof_o and_o the_o people_n confess_v so_o and_o therefore_o the_o doctor_n may_v be_v out_o of_o fear_n for_o this_o matter_n last_o the_o doctor_n say_v that_o see_v some_o must_v be_v trust_v in_o every_o

the_o kingdom_n and_o if_o the_o great_a and_o best_a security_n shall_v be_v about_o the_o king_n because_o he_o be_v worth_a 10000_o subject_n then_o sure_o the_o kingdom_n itself_o shall_v have_v

if_o we_o do_v not_o take_v up_o arm_n in_o this_o time_n of_o popish_a insurrection_n how_o can_v we_o with_o good_a conscience_n say_v that_o either_o we_o defend_v the_o king_n person_n from_o

unto_o these_o section_n in_o this_o six_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o do_v not_o walk_v up_o unto_o our_o ow_v principle_n which_o be_v as_o he_o say_v that_o our_o resistance_n must_v be_v
