the_o truth_n of_o this_o appear_v by_o his_o action_n have_v by_o this_o time_n i_o hope_v breed_v a_o repent_a consideration_n in_o such_o as_o strenuous_o support_v that_o which_o be_v so_o near_o

some_o that_o will_v rather_o see_v the_o violent_a destruction_n of_o their_o own_o religion_n than_o disturb_v the_o quiet_a settlement_n of_o popery_n as_o if_o it_o be_v more_o religious_a to_o

he_o give_v to_o their_o redemption_n it_o will_v not_o be_v improper_a therefore_o to_o consider_v the_o case_n of_o those_o two_o prince_n edward_n and_o richard_n the_o second_o who_o be_v depose_v

they_o have_v place_v in_o he_o and_o act_v contrary_a to_o his_o executive_a office_n and_o they_o express_o declare_v to_o king_n edward_n the_o second_o that_o if_o he_o do_v not_o free_o consent_v to_o a_o resignation_n they_o will_v not_o elect_v his_o son_n edward_n but_o such_o a_o one_o as_o may_v be_v proper_a for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o people_n though_o no_o relation_n to_o his_o
