ecclesiaticall_a and_o political_a and_o this_o to_o be_v endeavour_v after_o by_o all_o joint_o and_o several_o in_o so_o vigorous_a and_o resolve_v a_o manner_n as_o that_o whatsoever_o form_n or_o

pursue_v the_o covenant_n live_v it_o be_v true_a indeed_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o king_n when_o the_o covenant_n be_v make_v do_v seem_v to_o conduce_v in_o part_n unto_o this_o great_a end_n but_o since_o it_o appear_v altogether_o inconsistent_a therewith_o the_o justice_n execute_v upon_o he_o in_o my_o eye_n be_v no_o more_o a_o breach_n of_o covenant_n then_o the_o throw_v of_o a_o

the_o covenant_n in_o the_o full_a spirit_n and_o vigour_n of_o it_o live_v though_o the_o king_n be_v dead_a but_o i_o forbear_v as_o remember_v that_o the_o scruple_n take_v from_o the_o covenant_n be_v not_o so_o much_o your_o own_o as_o other_o therefore_o i_o proceed_v the_o next_o pile_n of_o sand_n upon_o which_o a_o scruple_n be_v build_v be_v this_o what_o power_n say_v you_o have_v that_o high_a court_n of_o justice_n to_o try_v the_o king_n let_v it_o be_v suppose_v the_o king_n be_v a_o criminal_a offender_n guilty_a of_o death_n and_o let_v it_o be_v suppose_v say_v you_o

be_v not_o law_n therefore_o as_o unto_o that_o querck_n i_o shall_v be_v but_o brief_a refer_v you_o unto_o the_o speech_n both_o of_o the_o precedent_n and_o the_o solicitor_n of_o that_o court_n for_o ample_a satisfaction_n therefore_o only_o thus_o first_o if_o charles_n stuart_n hold_v his_o crown_n by_o conquest_n of_o arm_n as_o by_o his_o plea_n of_o succession_n from_o the_o conqueror_n he_o do_v pretend_v and_o as_o some_o of_o his_o friend_n though_o the_o people_n foe_n have_v urge_v then_o without_o doubt_n by_o the_o same_o right_n in_o which_o upon_o this_o plea_n he_o urge_v he_o rule_v by_o the_o same_o he_o suffer_v himself_o be_v conquer_v and_o a_o prisoner_n of_o war_n it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o surrender_v himself_o a_o fair_a way_n of_o give_v up_o unto_o mercy_n when_o he_o can_v hold_v out_o no_o long_o and_o that_o unto_o the_o scot_n army_n but_o under_o english_a pay_n and_o so_o a_o prisoner_n unto_o england_n sword_n a_o army_n of_o swisser_n serve_v the_o king_n of_o france_n for_o his_o money_n may_v as_o well_o pretend_v that_o such_o prisoner_n or_o town_n as_o they_o take_v be_v proper_o their_o own_o as_o the_o scot_n under_o english_a pay_n may_v pretend_v that_o the_o king_n be_v they_o so_o that_o still_o i_o say_v he_o be_v a_o prisoner_n unto_o england_n state_n and_o the_o case_n be_v no_o whit_n alter_v but_o the_o same_o therefore_o if_o he_o hold_v by_o conquest_n then_o as_o he_o hold_v so_o he_o be_v or_o may_v be_v try_v but_o second_o it_o be_v and_o be_v the_o power_n of_o a_o parliament_n to_o erect_v such_o a_o court_n as_o in_o this_o case_n they_o do_v a_o lawful_a court_n by_o a_o lawful_a power_n authorize_v and_o by_o law_n proceed_v may_v try_v any_o prince_n in_o the_o world_n therefore_o the_o power_n by_o which_o and_o the_o way_n in_o which_o the_o king_n be_v try_v be_v so_o just_a why_o shall_v any_o presume_v to_o question_v it_o object_n objection_n but_o say_v you_o how_o can_v that_o house_n be_v call_v a_o parliament_n when_o the_o lord_n join_v not_o with_o the_o commons_o and_o when_o most_o of_o the_o commons_o be_v keep_v out_o answ_n i_o answer_v i_o thank_v mr._n
