A56284	Scotlands holy vvar a discourse truly, and plainly remonstrating, how the Scots out of a corrupt pretended zeal to the covenant have made the same scandalous, and odious to all good men, and how by religious pretexts of saving the peace of Great Brittain they have irreligiously involved us all in a most pernitious warre / by H.P. ...

we_o clear_v ourselves_o in_o point_n of_o church-reformation_n for_o have_v covenant_v to_o reform_v in_o doctrine_n discipline_n etc._n etc._n according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o

we_o or_o any_o other_o church_n when_o we_o be_v govern_v by_o bishop_n the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n be_v as_o pure_o deliver_v in_o england_n and_o as_o hearty_o embrace_v by_o the_o english_a any_o
