of_o any_o or_o no_o religion_n we_o must_v be_v obedient_a and_o submit_v ourselves_o not_o only_o for_o wrath_n but_o also_o for_o conscience_n sake_n in_o the_o late_a time_n of_o usurpation_n they_o be_v so_o sensible_a of_o this_o that_o they_o make_v the_o people_n covenant_n against_o the_o king_n and_o renounce_v their_o former_a by_o after_o oath_n yet_o they_o dare_v not_o depend_v on_o that_o artifice_n without_o the_o assistance_n of_o a_o army_n thus_o than_o we_o see_v the_o duke_n can_v want_v a_o party_n in_o england_n who_o strength_n must_v overpower_v any_o other_o when_o to_o it_o be_v unite_v that_o of_o scotland_n and_o ireland_n and_o here_o let_v none_o be_v mistake_v as_o if_o scotland_n be_v govern_v or_o influence_v by_o presbyterian_a domine_n the_o

the_o only_a way_n he_o can_v hope_v by_o gain_v england_n on_o his_o side_n to_o win_v the_o universal_a dominion_n now_o to_o resist_v the_o duke_n a_o army_n must_v be_v maintain_v the_o general_n
