my_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n be_v this_o if_o this_o work_n be_v of_o god_n than_o it_o be_v in_o love_n and_o kindness_n to_o the_o dissenter_n but_o this_o work_n be_v of_o god_n as_o

the_o way_n he_o have_v open_v the_o mouth_n of_o this_o people_n to_o bless_v god_n and_o the_o king_n for_o this_o liberty_n grant_v to_o they_o and_o have_v tie_v up_o the_o hand_n of_o

he_o please_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o man_n 135.6_o psal_n 135.6_o 2._o of_o the_o way_n other_o king_n have_v give_v liberty_n of_o conscience_n to_o their_o subject_n because_o they_o be_v of_o

right_a nevertheless_o this_o do_v not_o lessen_v

his_o power_n and_o authority_n over_o we_o nor_o diminish_v our_o duty_n and_o obedience_n to_o he_o god_n have_v put_v this_o into_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o king_n that_o all_o the_o yoke_n and_o

will_v never_o have_v be_v do_v by_o any_o prince_n but_o this_o o_o let_v no_o man_n say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o new_a king_n rise_v up_o that_o know_v not_o joseph_n or_o that_o there_o be_v a_o joseph_n in_o the_o land_n that_o will_v not_o know_v pharaoh_n o_o let_v this_o liberty_n be_v thankful_o receive_v and_o wise_o improve_v that_o god_n glory_n may_v be_v advance_v that_o the_o
