effemenacy_n and_o that_o servility_n on_o a_o crown_n as_o shall_v render_v the_o imperial_a majesty_n of_o england_n but_o a_o pageant_n a_o mere_a puppet_n upon_o a_o wire_n if_o then_o no_o king_n

sort_n bind_v a_o popish_a successor_n when_o the_o very_a first_o advance_v of_o the_o pope_n supremacy_n introduce_v that_o high_a power_n those_o canonic_a ecclesiastic_a law_n which_o no_o

and_o liberty_n where_o lie_v the_o sin_n in_o the_o commons_o of_o england_n to_o stand_v upon_o their_o guard_n against_o a_o popish_a successor_n ay_o a_o god_n name_n let_v they_o stand_v upon_o their_o guard_n and_o use_v all_o expedient_n to_o keep_v out_o popery_n and_o tyranny_n provide_v still_o that_o we_o preserve_v the_o sacred_a succession_n in_o its_o right_a line_n for_o that_o we_o be_v tell_v both_o king_n and_o people_n be_v oblige_v in_o conscience_n to_o defend_v and_o uphold_v i_o think_v i_o need_v not_o insist_v further_o in_o multiply_a argument_n to_o prove_v how_o far_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o do_v one_o without_o the_o other_o but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n let_v we_o examine_v how_o the_o defend_n and_o establish_v a_o popish_a successor_n be_v a_o
