that_o it_o shall_v be_v treason_n for_o any_o man_n to_o deny_v it_o what_o offence_n it_o be_v to_o contravene_v this_o act_n sir_n thomas_n more_o answer_v that_o he_o shall_v offend_v if_o he_o

the_o head_n in_o heaven_n make_v the_o head_n on_o earth_n and_o although_o the_o king_n be_v hold_v to_o be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n here_o in_o england_n yet_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o

the_o undoubted_a unquestioned_a law_n of_o the_o land_n be_v this_o that_o a_o parliament_n can_v make_v and_o depose_v a_o king_n for_o it_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o their_o argue_n and_o it_o

will_v have_v be_v as_o bad_a and_o hurt_v his_o preferment_n as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v stigmatise_v and_o therefore_o my_o lord_n of_o essex_n argument_n be_v more_o than_o measure_n that_o if_o a_o parliament_n can_v make_v and_o depose_v a_o king_n and_o make_v richard_n rich_a king_n much_o more_o they_o may_v foreclose_v the_o duke_n of_o york_n who_o be_v no_o king_n and_o

it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o common_a honesty_n to_o stand_v to_o one_o own_o act_n and_o deed_n but_o in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o passive_a doctrine_n to_o prostitute_v the_o life_n liberty_n and_o

of_o city_n and_o society_n and_o therefore_o this_o of_o a_o indiffeasable_a allegiance_n must_v be_v reckon_v among_o these_o since_o the_o fatal_a consequence_n that_o must_v attend_v upon_o it_o

will_v be_v if_o i_o be_v hire_v to_o write_v against_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n i_o will_v use_v such_o argument_n as_o this_o be_v be_v we_o in_o the_o case_n of_o those_o that_o be_v slave_n
