and_o the_o earl_n himself_o still_o the_o only_a judge_n and_o i_o be_o desirous_a to_o know_v in_o what_o part_n of_o europe_n such_o quality_n be_v ever_o allow_v it_o be_v also_o very_o absurd_a to_o contend_v that_o the_o adject_n of_o these_o quality_n can_v put_v the_o taker_n in_o no_o worse_a case_n then_o if_o he_o have_v refuse_v the_o test._n and_o since_o that_o can_v amount_v to_o

it_o be_v most_o absurd_a to_o think_v that_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o shall_v be_v suffer_v because_o they_o be_v throw_v in_o into_o explication_n for_o else_o under_o the_o pretence_n of_o

he_o can_v do_v in_o mental_a equivacation_n to_o this_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o that_o can_v only_o hold_v if_o the_o quality_n adject_v to_o the_o oath_n be_v first_o offer_v by_o way_n of_o

too_o without_o previous_o offer_v his_o doubt_n to_o the_o king_n and_o council_n and_o get_v their_o approbation_n as_o say_v be_v nor_o be_v they_o allow_v to_o take_v it_o in_o such_o general_a

can_v explain_v it_o but_o for_o himself_o which_o do_v clear_o import_v that_o though_o the_o parliament_n design_v not_o to_o make_v a_o oath_n that_o be_v contradictory_n yet_o they_o have_v make_v

as_o disingenuous_a as_o he_o not_o to_o confess_v that_o these_o be_v most_o just_a and_o natural_a inference_n and_o the_o inference_n be_v so_o much_o the_o strong_a that_o both_o this_o author_n
