and_o then_o come_v in_o that_o manner_n to_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o to_o demand_v those_o five_o and_o whereas_o the_o doctor_n say_v the_o king_n be_v bind_v by_o oath_n to_o maintain_v the_o

because_o it_o urge_v man_n to_o swear_v never_o to_o consent_v to_o alter_v the_o government_n which_o yet_o the_o king_n and_o state_n may_v possible_o judge_v fit_a to_o be_v alter_v but_o we_o

will_v do_v all_o their_o present_a endeavour_n of_o war_n to_o recover_v themselves_o 2._o but_o in_o good_a earnest_n do_v the_o doctor_n or_o any_o else_o think_v the_o king_n bind_v by_o oath_n to_o maintain_v bishop_n still_o in_o england_n though_o he_o have_v consent_v to_o take_v they_o away_o in_o scotland_n to_o prevent_v war_n even_o though_o he_o hazard_v the_o ruin_n of_o the_o

and_o if_o the_o dr._n will_v not_o admit_v this_o answer_n but_o still_o contend_v the_o king_n do_v swear_v to_o maintain_v they_o at_o his_o coronation_n as_o they_o be_v then_o by_o law_n
