argument_n from_o this_o declaration_n be_v of_o more_o force_n as_o it_o plead_v the_o judgement_n and_o determination_n of_o our_o legislator_n which_o will_v therefore_o deserve_v to_o be_v more_o

and_o must_v conclude_v that_o according_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o this_o parliament_n king_n charles_n the_o i._o do_v never_o the_o jure_fw-la fall_n from_o his_o regal_a right_n and_o that_o

pretence_n of_o his_o authority_n or_o any_o other_o pretence_n whatsoever_o to_o take_v arm_n against_o his_o person_n who_o continue_v to_o be_v de_fw-fr jure_fw-la king_n in_o all_o which_o the_o

of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n we_o need_v not_o i_o know_v profess_v so_o high_a a_o regard_n for_o our_o church_n as_o to_o think_v any_o doctrine_n upon_o her_o sole_a authority_n to_o be_v a_o

her_o genuine_a child_n since_o the_o reformation_n we_o shall_v find_v enough_o on_o our_o side_n to_o justify_v our_o doctrine_n to_o be_v consistent_a with_o her_o principle_n her_o homily_n no_o where_n that_o i_o know_v of_o assert_v the_o error_n i_o have_v here_o condemn_v or_o condemn_v any_o of_o the_o position_n i_o have_v here_o assert_v the_o homily_n of_o obedience_n teach_v we_o
