to_o commit_v idolatry_n yet_o rather_o endure_v death_n than_o they_o will_v offer_v to_o revolt_v from_o a_o heathen_a prince_n notwithstanding_o he_o will_v have_v enforce_v they_o to_o renounce_v christ_n and_o yet_o m._n allen_n go_v about_o by_o these_o example_n to_o persuade_v subject_n to_o rebel_n against_o their_o natural_a prince_n be_v god_n a_o christian_n neither_o compel_v nor_o command_v they_o to_o forsake_v god_n but_o endeavour_v by_o all_o good_a &_o godly_a mean_n to_o draw_v they_o to_o the_o true_a knowledge_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n from_o the_o blindness_n of_o

god_n fight_v himself_o for_o the_o defence_n of_o his_o own_o cause_n and_o of_o the_o right_n which_o in_o my_o opinion_n can_v be_v no_o encouragement_n but_o ought_v rather_o to_o be_v a_o great_a terror_n to_o the_o english_a romanist_n for_o enterprise_v to_o take_v arm_n against_o their_o gracious_a sovereign_n for_o first_o look_v into_o home_n example_n of_o the_o westmoreland_n like_a

notwithstanding_o by_o the_o providence_n and_o assistance_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v he_o only_a that_o give_v victory_n not_o the_o strength_n of_o man_n or_o of_o horse_n within_o very_o short_a

their_o country_n and_o to_o live_v abroad_o like_a outcast_n and_o vagabond_n they_o remember_v likewise_o since_o that_o time_n what_o quarrel_n become_v of_o the_o romish_a catholic_a force_n who_o
