that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o subject_n to_o defend_v themselves_o by_o force_n of_o arm_n against_o the_o oppression_n and_o violence_n of_o their_o king_n i_o shall_v now_o enter_v upon_o the_o

that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o subject_n to_o defend_v themselves_o etc._n etc._n and_o here_o it_o will_v be_v convenient_a to_o set_v down_o what_o be_v agree_v upon_o on_o both_o side_n first_o

this_o out_o of_o conscience_n and_o for_o the_o lord_n sake_n who_o have_v make_v they_o his_o minister_n second_o it_o be_v a_o most_o heinous_a sin_n a_o crime_n of_o a_o deep_a dye_n by_o

of_o god_n who_o be_v king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n seven_o every_o oppression_n or_o corruption_n in_o government_n be_v not_o present_o sufficient_a to_o defend_v ourselves_o by_o

the_o change_n of_o religion_n by_o law_n establish_v and_o in_o this_o case_n also_o defensive_a arm_n be_v not_o lawful_a till_o petition_n and_o all_o other_o good_a mean_n which_o may_v prevail_v with_o our_o governor_n be_v use_v and_o yet_o fail_v of_o their_o end_n thus_o as_o i_o conceive_v i_o have_v impartial_o represent_v both_o part_n and_o i_o know_v no_o man_n of_o worth_n piety_n
