be_v stick_v upon_o but_o that_o some_o one_o or_o mo_z may_v be_v dispense_v with_o upon_o civil_a advantage_n but_o we_o have_v not_o so_o learned_a christ_n or_o his_o word_n both_o nation_n have_v

nor_o do_v we_o see_v how_o we_o can_v vindicate_v such_o a_o practice_n from_o a_o direct_a breach_n of_o our_o engagement_n to_o they_o by_o covenant_n and_o treaty_n which_o be_v not_o only_o to_o

many_o year_n past_a in_o the_o midst_n of_o many_o tentation_n have_v put_v we_o beyond_o all_o suspicion_n in_o the_o point_n of_o our_o loyalty_n nor_o have_v we_o the_o least_o thought_n of_o desert_v the_o king_n majesty_n in_o a_o just_a and_o good_a cause_n be_v bind_v by_o our_o covenant_n in_o our_o several_a vocation_n to_o endeavour_v with_o our_o estate_n and_o life_n to_o preserve_v and_o defend_v his_o person_n and_o authority_n in_o the_o defence_n and_o preservation_n of_o the_o true_a religion_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o so_o far_o as_o his_o

settle_v religion_n according_a to_o the_o covenant_n and_o for_o secure_v a_o perfect_a and_o durable_a peace_n which_o we_o look_v upon_o as_o the_o only_a hopeful_a mean_n of_o preserve_v himself_o his_o crown_n and_o posterity_n that_o his_o majesty_n may_v return_v to_o his_o house_n of_o parliament_n in_o england_n as_o a_o reconcile_a prince_n to_o satisfy_v subject_n and_o that_o
