i_o that_o too_o many_o of_o they_o in_o scotland_n have_v enter_v in_o a_o mutual_a bond_n to_o defend_v one_o another_o by_o arm_n so_o their_o fellow_n in_o this_o diocese_n have_v enter_v in_o a_o

of_o their_o church_n next_o for_o their_o nonconformity_n three_o for_o not_o present_v notorious_a offender_n and_o last_o for_o their_o perjury_n and_o if_o they_o think_v my_o authority_n too_o

they_o my_o last_o complaint_n will_v hold_v i_o long_o it_o strike_v both_o against_o the_o clergy_n and_o the_o laity_n for_o their_o general_a nonconformity_n and_o disobedience_n unto_o the_o

to_o mince_v the_o service_n of_o god_n cut_v and_o carve_v upon_o it_o as_o you_o please_v i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o those_o who_o will_v not_o be_v tie_v neither_o by_o oath_n subscription_n

but_o the_o king_n law_n and_o authority_n be_v well_o able_a to_o overtake_v you_o and_o be_v assure_v that_o their_o insolent_a opposition_n against_o our_o most_o pious_a prince_n will_v make_v

that_o if_o there_o be_v in_o you_o a_o spark_n of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o of_o true_a loyalty_n unto_o the_o king_n the_o rebellious_a proceed_n of_o these_o man_n will_v put_v you_o out_o
