of_o their_o enemy_n then_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o they_o shall_v conjoin_v their_o force_n for_o their_o joint_a freedom_n and_o link_v themselves_o fast_o together_o by_o some_o such_o

to_o take_v 4._o this_o or_o the_o like_a protestation_n from_o the_o preamble_n before_o the_o protestation_n these_o reason_n may_v answer_n be_v collect_v namely_o 1._o because_o the_o design_n of_o the_o priest_n and_o jesuit_n and_o other_o adherent_n to_o the_o sea_n of_o rome_n have_v of_o late_o be_v more_o bold_o and_o frequent_o put_v in_o practice_n then_o former_o to_o the_o undermine_n and_o danger_n of_o the_o ruin_n of_o the_o true_a reform_a religion_n among_o we_o 2._o because_o some_o have_v endeavour_v to_o subvert_v the_o fundamental_a law_n of_o england_n and_o ireland_n and_o to_o introduce_v the_o exercise_n of_o a_o arbitrary_a and_o tyrannical_a government_n among_o we_o 3._o because_o many_o illegal_a taxation_n have_v be_v levy_v and_o lay_v of_o late_a upon_o the_o subject_n to_o their_o great_a grievance_n and_o oppression_n 4._o because_o divers_a innovation_n and_o superstition_n have_v of_o late_o be_v bring_v into_o our_o church_n and_o a_o oath_n devise_v to_o make_v we_o practise_v and_o perpetual_o to_o maintain_v they_o 5._o because_o many_o have_v be_v exile_v and_o the_o mouth_n of_o many_o minister_n stop_v for_o these_o innovation_n and_o superstition_n and_o other_o ceremony_n 6._o because_o some_o have_v endeavour_v to_o raise_v and_o foment_v jealousy_n between_o the_o king_n and_o his_o people_n ezra_n 4._o 13_o 14_o 15._o 7._o because_o army_n have_v be_v raise_v in_o england_n and_o ireland_n of_o dangerous_a consequence_n to_o wit_n first_o for_o the_o make_n or_o take_v part_n with_o the_o conspirator_n

open_a to_o foreign_a invasion_n wherefore_o shall_v both_o prince_n peer_n parliamentary_n and_o 5._o people_n or_o commons_o make_v such_o a_o protestation_n or_o promise_n at_o such_o time_n or_o upon_o such_o occasion_n as_o be_v name_v even_o now_o first_o because_o our_o enemy_n usual_o strengthen_v and_o bind_v themselves_o 18._o by_o wicked_a oath_n and_o vow_n to_o ruin_v we_o and_o therefore_o much_o more_o shall_v we_o by_o religious_a and_o pious_a protestation_n and_o promise_n assist_v one_o another_o in_o the_o resist_n and_o root_v out_o who_o or_o whatsoever_o may_v on_o danger_n our_o life_n law_n liberty_n or_o religion_n second_o because_o our_o ordinary_a resolution_n and_o purpose_n 2._o be_v like_o s●…psons_n cord_n which_o we_o break_v as_o fast_o as_o straw_n and_o 29._o therefore_o we_o have_v need_n upon_o the_o occasion_n mention_v to_o help_v our_o frail_a purpos●…s_n with_o some_o firm_a protestation_n and_o vow_n three_o because_o the_o lord_n only_o

all_o our_o adversary_n he_o can_v turn_v away_o all_o his_o plague_n he_o can_v impart_v unto_o we_o any_o blessing_n or_o grace_n which_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o yea_o he_o can_v do_v for_o we_o above_o all_o we_o be_v able_a to_o ask_v or_o think_v but_o we_o be_v not_o certain_a that_o he_o will_v except_o we_o enter_v into_o a_o holy_a covenant_n with_o he_o and_o by_o a_o firm_a
