power_n with_o wrong_a to_o the_o right_a heir_n we_o sin_v and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o if_o bind_v by_o oath_n and_o covenant_n not_o to_o assist_v or_o comply_v with_o any_o other_o neither_o for_o fear_n nor_o favour_n desert_v our_o engagement_n which_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o solemn_a covenant_n not_o suffer_v ourselves_o direct_o or_o indirect_o by_o whatsoever_o combination_n persuasion_n or_o terror_n to_o be_v withdraw_v from_o this_o bless_a union_n etc._n etc._n but_o shall_v all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n zealous_o &_o constant_o continue_v therein_o against_o all_o opposition_n and_o promote_v the_o same_o according_a to_o our_o power_n against_o all_o let_n and_o impediment_n whatsoever_o etc._n etc._n all_o which_o whether_o it_o can_v so_o easy_o be_v dispense_v with_o as_o this_o gent._n seem_v to_o hold_v forth_o i_o leave_v to_o every_o conscience_n to_o consider_v and_o whereas_o say_v he_o some_o speak_v of_o a_o time_n for_o settlement_n they_o indeed_o do_v rather_o speak_v for_o a_o time_n of_o unsettlement_n etc._n etc._n they_o mean_v if_o a_o government_n be_v once_o settle_v by_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o people_n and_o no_o power_n appear_v to_o bring_v it_o back_o to_o the_o former_a state_n they_o may_v better_o comply_v with_o it_o in_o repub_fw-la constituta_fw-la not_o constituenda_fw-la and_o this_o be_v no_o

passive_a in_o than_o active_a to_o the_o settlement_n of_o it_o which_o if_o it_o be_v general_o do_v may_v by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n upon_o faithfulness_n to_o a_o right_a heir_n and_o to_o our_o oath_n and_o covenant_n perhaps_o prevail_v to_o make_v the_o usurper_n think_v of_o some_o better_a way_n of_o reduce_v the_o government_n to_o the_o ancient_a channel_n whereas_o this_o way_n of_o compliance_n fasten_v and_o settle_v they_o in_o their_o sin_n and_o government_n together_o and_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o may_v be_v call_v a_o settlement_n when_o there_o be_v such_o a_o

answer_v such_o a_o settlement_n as_o be_v plead_v for_o be_v not_o the_o way_n to_o enjoy_v the_o main_a end_n of_o magistracy_n etc._n etc._n for_o how_o can_v a_o people_n consent_v ready_o together_o to_o a_o violation_n of_o so_o sacred_a a_o covenant_n and_o oath_n ever_o be_v like_a to_o live_v a_o peaceable_a life_n in_o godliness_n or_o honesty_n and_o indeed_o say_v he_o when_o

have_v not_o or_o may_v not_o hear_v of_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o supremacy_n who_o have_v not_o hear_v of_o parliamentary_a declaration_n for_o the_o right_n and_o title_n whatever_o it_o be_v in_o former_a time_n the_o title_n be_v now_o clear_a to_o every_o eye_n and_o if_o it_o be_v doubtful_a our_o engagement_n be_v go_v out_o into_o all_o the_o world_n to_o that_o he_o answer_v sure_o oath_n be_v sacred_a bond_n and_o reverend_a obligement_n etc._n etc._n yet_o there_o be_v fault_n on_o both_o hand_n on_o the_o one_o side_n the_o slight_n of_o a_o oath_n but_o we_o find_v some_o part_n of_o the_o vow_n and_o covenant_n to_o speak_v of_o all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n etc._n etc._n true_a it_o be_v the_o obligation_n of_o some_o thing_n may_v end_v as_o that_o of_o the_o king_n person_n etc._n etc._n to_o which_o and_o the_o rest_n we_o say_v the_o king_n person_n in_o england_n never_o die_v say_v the_o law_n such_o a_o king_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o preserve_v suppose_v the_o king_n have_v die_v in_o war_n or_o a_o natural_a death_n and_o his_o son_n have_v be_v in_o arm_n at_o his_o death_n will_v not_o our_o covenant_n have_v reach_v to_o bind_v we_o to_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o son_n person_n as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o father_n whatever_o man_n think_v now_o i_o be_o confident_a two_o or_o three_o year_n ago_o most_o man_n will_v have_v be_v of_o this_o mind_n 2._o it_o be_v indeed_o impossible_a to_o preserve_v that_o king_n person_n yet_o say_v the_o gent._n we_o find_v some_o part_n of_o the_o vow_n and_o covenant_n to_o speak_v of_o all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n as_o to_o extirpate_v profaneness_n heresy_n blasphemy_n and_o for_o reformation_n all_o which_o it_o be_v well_o if_o the_o covenanter_n will_v remember_v to_o observe_v but_o i_o shall_v remember_v he_o of_o more_o to_o preserve_v the_o right_n and_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n and_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o kingdom_n etc._n etc._n be_v these_o thing_n impossible_a now_o to_o be_v preserve_v and_o if_o not_o do_v they_o not_o still_o bind_v we_o to_o endeavour_v they_o 2._o his_o word_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v print_v and_o print_v again_o will_v any_o man_n that_o understand_v and_o favour_n religion_n and_o piety_n say_v that_o the_o clause_n which_o concern_v religion_n and_o piety_n be_v expire_v do_v we_o promise_v to_o

the_o kingdom_n what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o say_v unto_o god_n if_o thou_o will_v deliver_v we_o we_o will_v be_v bind_v to_o thou_o till_o we_o be_v deliver_v and_o no_o long_o etc._n etc._n sure_o this_o be_v too_o like_o that_o course_n of_o carnal_a israel_n ps_n 78.14_o etc._n etc._n but_o he_o go_v on_o here_o it_o be_v good_a to_o consider_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o clause_n in_o any_o

so_o the_o commonwealth_n must_v go_v to_o ruin_v we_o answer_v yes_o there_o be_v by_o necessary_a consequence_n that_o clause_n in_o the_o oath_n or_o covenant_n that_o command_v obedience_n and_o

have_v not_o comply_v with_o that_o force_n put_v upon_o the_o house_n and_o kingdom_n if_o they_o do_v it_o upon_o antecedent_n consent_n they_o be_v deep_o and_o heinous_o guilty_a if_o upon_o

but_o say_v he_o if_o the_o king_n heir_n be_v not_o his_o successor_n how_o do_v that_o oath_n bind_v either_o the_o word_n successor_n must_v be_v superfluous_a or_o else_o it_o must_v bind_v to_o
