what_o thing_n be_v require_v to_o justify_v a_o subject_n refuse_v a_o superior_n command_v refuser_n to_o read_v the_o book_n just_o punish_v the_o punishment_n inflict_v not_o exceed_v the_o

imagine_v that_o he_o shall_v ever_o intend_v to_o command_v it_o this_o be_v a_o common_a fetch_n of_o he_o and_o it_o be_v very_o pretty_a to_o pass_v a_o false_a sentence_n upon_o his_o majesty_n just_a and_o pious_a action_n and_o then_o to_o charge_v those_o action_n upon_o other_o that_o so_o he_o may_v the_o more_o free_o vent_v his_o invective_n against_o they_o and_o yet_o seem_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o this_o his_o great_a seeming-zeale_n to_o retain_v his_o dutiful_a and_o loyal_a respect_n of_o his_o majesty_n honour_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v deal_v with_o mr._n burton_n in_o

loyalty_n to_o his_o royal_a majesty_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o though_o such_o thing_n have_v go_v abroad_o under_o his_o name_n sure_o they_o be_v none_o of_o he_o he_o never_o intend_v nor_o be_v author_n of_o so_o foul_a and_o wicked_a practice_n if_o i_o say_v a_o man_n shall_v speak_v thus_o as_o any_o man_n may_v do_v and_o yet_o not_o as_o he_o have_v his_o sacred_a majesty_n false_o censure_v his_o action_n in_o the_o least_o there_o be_v hominem_fw-la argumentum_fw-la ad_fw-la hominem_fw-la no_o man_n of_o reason_n and_o discretion_n but_o will_v think_v this_o to_o be_v no_o

such_o manner_n of_o speech_n but_o only_o this_o that_o mr._n burton_n have_v do_v contrary_a to_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o christian_a of_o a_o subject_n of_o a_o minister_n and_o violate_v his_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o often_o protestation_n of_o boyalty_n but_o i_o answer_v brief_o that_o his_o majesty_n as_o his_o royal_a father_n have_v also_o do_v command_v publication_n fine_a declar._n in_o fine_a of_o the_o declaration_n by_o order_n from_o the_o bishop_n through_o all_o the_o parish-church_n of_o their_o several_a diocese_n respective_o do_v implicit_o command_v that_o

i_o know_v no_o man_n of_o common_a sense_n but_o will_v confess_v that_o what_o order_n any_o man_n to_o who_o the_o make_n of_o such_o order_n be_v commit_v shall_v make_v that_o order_n what_o ever_o it_o be_v be_v he_o who_o give_v the_o commission_n his_o majesty_n in_o his_o declaration_n authorize_v the_o bishop_n to_o take_v order_n for_o the_o publication_n of_o it_o and_o see_v their_o order_n be_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v read_v and_o that_o by_o the_o minister_n then_o may_v it_o without_o presumption_n be_v say_v that_o his_o majesty_n command_v minister_n to_o read_v it_o unless_o it_o may_v some_o way_n appear_v that_o his_o majesty_n do_v restrain_v they_o from_o make_v that_o kind_n of_o order_n or_o limit_v they_o to_o do_v it_o in_o some_o other_o way_n which_o he_o do_v not_o in_o the_o book_n i_o be_o sure_a and_o i_o be_o confident_a mr._n burton_n can_v prove_v he_o do_v otherwise_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v ridiculous_o false_a that_o m._n burton_n say_v his_o majesty_n do_v command_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o that_o minister_n shall_v read_v the_o book_n i_o say_v further_o that_o minister_n may_v lawful_o and_o therefore_o aught_o to_o obey_v his_o majesty_n in_o read_v the_o book_n for_o 1._o the_o matter_n of_o the_o book_n be_v not_o unlawful_a nor_o against_o any_o commandment_n of_o god_n as_o have_v be_v already_o prove_v 2._o suppose_v not_o grant_v that_o the_o thing_n declare_v in_o that_o book_n to_o be_v permit_v be_v not_o lawful_a and_o such_o as_o can_v be_v use_v without_o offence_n to_o the_o divine_a majesty_n and_o transgression_n of_o his_o commandment_n and_o that_o therefore_o his_o majesty_n which_o be_v sin_n to_o imagine_v have_v unjust_o grant_v such_o liberty_n yet_o will_v it_o not_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o read_v the_o declaration_n &_o publish_v his_o majesty_n pleasure_n for_o minister_n by_o read_v it_o do_v not_o justify_v but_o declare_v what_o be_v do_v nor_o do_v they_o thereby_o ipso_fw-la facto_fw-la approve_v the_o liberty_n grant_v or_o the_o grant_n of_o it_o but_o make_v know_v his_o majesty_n pleasure_n what_o ever_o it_o be_v which_o for_o aught_o i_o
