mark_n of_o sovereignty_n to_o give_v pardon_n it_o be_v so_o without_o doubt_n but_o they_o must_v be_v conformable_a to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n who_o have_v establish_v law_n therein_o as_o be_v see_v by_o the_o town_n of_o refuge_n which_o be_v ancient_o among_o the_o israelite_n which_o be_v for_o accident_n proceed_v of_o ignorance_n chance-medley_n and_o other_o notable_a

of_o sovereignty_n common_a with_o our_o king_n to_o give_v letter_n of_o nobility_n of_o naturalitie_n to_o mint_n money_n to_o create_v new_a estate_n to_o confirm_v they_o to_o levy_v imposition_n etc._n etc._n be_v not_o these_o fair_a mark_n and_o well_o raise_v there_o be_v no_o speech_n of_o give_v pardon_n of_o this_o quality_n it_o follow_v that_o sovereignty_n be_v not_o found_v upon_o that_o what_o be_v then_o her_o foundation_n that_o the_o sovereign_n do_v depend_v upon_o god_n only_o and_o not_o to_o acknowledge_v any_o man_n live_v for_o his_o superior_a so_o he_o be_v

principal_a point_n be_v so_o pertinent_o deduce_v by_o a_o discourse_n entitle_v of_o quarrel_n and_o of_o honour_n that_o the_o author_n deserve_v much_o glory_n thereby_o as_o a_o man_n that_o

it_o be_v a_o cadmean_a victory_n a_o lamentable_a victory_n lamentable_a for_o all_o christendom_n a_o fearful_a mark_n of_o the_o anger_n of_o god_n and_o a_o infallible_a presage_n of_o his_o
