this_o transcendent_a and_o more_o than_o secular_a nature_n the_o last_o cautionary_a advertisement_n that_o i_o shall_v humble_o tender_v withal_o be_v that_o a_o oath_n may_v be_v also_o administer_v to_o the_o queen_n and_o to_o all_o suspect_a papist_n alien_n etc._n etc._n to_o the_o restrain_n of_o they_o from_o all_o intermeddle_n in_o matter_n of_o our_o church_n or_o state_n and_o from_o attempt_v any_o thing_n mediate_o or_o immediate_o direct_o or_o indirect_o against_o the_o peace_n of_o this_o kingdom_n by_o this_o mean_n with_o some_o more_o perfect_a alteration_n or_o provision_n under_o favour_n i_o conceive_v our_o great_a fear_n may_v be_v qualify_v and_o our_o most_o desperate_a malady_n assuage_v if_o not_o cure_v but_o i_o know_v some_o objection_n will_v be_v allege_v on_o the_o king_n part_n why_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o make_v this_o oath_n and_o on_o the_o parliament_n why_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o take_v it_o let_v i_o have_v a_o little_a favour_n to_o say_v something_o herein_o oath_n have_v be_v ever_o honourable_a and_o sacramental_a obligation_n such_o as_o god_n himself_o have_v not_o disdain_v to_o use_v for_o the_o take_v away_o of_o doubt_n and_o distrust_n in_o man_n and_o such_o as_o he_o have_v prescribe_v to_o man_n for_o the_o compose_n of_o difference_n sometime_o aswell_o betwixt_o public_a as_o private_a person_n but_o in_o this_o contestation_n betwixt_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n though_o both_o side_n have_v sundry_a time_n have_v recourse_n to_o oath_n and_o invocation_n of_o god_n name_n and_o more_o especial_o the_o king_n yet_o that_o pacification_n and_o amicable_a accommodation_n which_o may_v have_v be_v hope_v therefrom_o have_v not_o be_v conclude_v and_o consummate_v and_o i_o conceive_v there_o be_v two_o reason_n why_o the_o king_n protestation_n have_v not_o be_v so_o effectual_a and_o available_a as_o be_v intend_v they_o shall_v first_o because_o there_o be_v great_a uncertainty_n and_o dispute_v in_o that_o which_o the_o king_n oath_n principal_o take_v for_o their_o subject_n or_o matter_n second_o because_o the_o king_n seem_v total_o mistake_v in_o the_o end_n of_o his_o oath_n or_o rather_o in_o those_o fear_n and_o jealousy_n of_o we_o which_o his_o oath_n endeavour_v to_o remove_v first_o the_o king_n by_o his_o imprication_n will_v assure_v we_o that_o he_o intend_v no_o ill_a to_o religion_n law_n or_o liberty_n as_o they_o be_v establish_v in_o england_n but_o our_o main_a strife_n and_o controversy_n here_o be_v how_o religion_n law_n and_o liberty_n be_v establish_v in_o such_o and_o such_o point_n and_o who_o shall_v judge_v of_o that_o establishment_n wherefore_o to_o decide_v that_o controversy_n and_o atone_v this_o strife_n no_o general_a oath_n of_o the_o king_n can_v be_v hold_v sufficient_a in_o private_a suit_n betwixt_o subject_a and_o subject_a the_o law_n permit_v nor_o the_o king_n to_o judge_v much_o less_o do_v it_o stand_v to_o the_o king_n judgement_n when_o the_o suit_n be_v betwixt_o a_o subject_a and_o the_o king_n himself_o and_o least_o of_o all_o do_v it_o rest_n upon_o the_o king_n determination_n when_o the_o king_n be_v a_o party_n of_o one_o side_n and_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n on_o the_o other_o nevertheless_o in_o this_o our_o present_a grand_a debate_n the_o king_n swear_v in_o general_a to_o do_v justice_n and_o yet_o what_o that_o justice_n be_v which_o be_v to_o be_v do_v he_o himself_o be_v ignorant_a nay_o the_o great_a of_o our_o profess_a lawyer_n adventure_v not_o to_o determine_v they_o have_v great_a division_n and_o contesttion_n among_o themselves_o about_o it_o although_o all_o unanimous_o affirm_v that_o the_o king_n quatenus_fw-la a_o party_n and_o quatenus_fw-la a_o layman_n be_v of_o all_o man_n most_o incompetent_a for_o the_o determination_n thereof_o when_o the_o kingdom_n groan_v heretofore_o under_o the_o oppression_n of_o the_o shipscot_n and_o divers_a other_o tax_n utter_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o subject_n liberty_n the_o king_n intend_v no_o violation_n of_o the_o subject_n liberty_n he_o have_v swear_v or_o may_v have_v swear_v then_o in_o general_a term_n the_o same_o thing_n with_o the_o same_o safety_n as_o he_o swear_v now_o so_o if_o the_o like_a dispute_n arise_v hereafter_o of_o the_o like_a difficulty_n about_o some_o other_o branch_n of_o prerogative_n for_o prerogative_n be_v not_o make_v now_o more_o know_v but_o more_o unknown_a of_o late_a there_o be_v no_o hindrance_n but_o the_o king_n may_v treat_v we_o as_o he_o do_v then_o indeed_o yet_o protest_v as_o he_o do_v now_o in_o word_n the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o religion_n the_o king_n intend_v no_o alteration_n of_o religion_n and_o expect_v that_o we_o shall_v acquiesce_v in_o that_o profession_n of_o his_o and_o yet_o we_o fear_v he_o judge_v of_o alteration_n therein_o by_o his_o bishop_n who_o aim_v at_o nothing_o more_o than_o innovation_n wherefore_o this_o can_v be_v no_o ground_n of_o confidence_n in_o we_o because_o the_o king_n in_o his_o own_o understanding_n may_v both_o make_v and_o keep_v such_o a_o oath_n yet_o popery_n shall_v still_o prevail_v and_o protestantism_n decline_v as_o it_o have_v
