all_o the_o trouble_n and_o spill_n of_o blood_n which_o have_v be_v occasion_v upon_o this_o pretence_n be_v not_o real_o intend_v for_o the_o set_n of_o christ_n upon_o his_o throne_n but_o rather_o to_o set_v up_o a_o presbyterian_a tribunal_n that_o thereon_o a_o minister_n and_o some_o select_a elder_n instead_o of_o christ_n may_v sit_v as_o his_o commissioner_n to_o judge_n of_o man_n and_o
