testify_v then_o common_a voice_n for_o the_o most_o part_n even_o of_o those_o that_o be_v afar_o off_o or_o of_o your_o excellency_n subject_n who_o do_v unanimous_o acknowledge_v that_o they_o

and_o continue_v we_o against_o he_o we_o hold_v this_o affirmative_a and_o lay_v it_o as_o a_o ground_n of_o truth_n for_o we_o know_v that_o true_a maxim_n receive_v of_o all_o true_a christian_n and_o the_o high_a power_n of_o these_o country_n and_o indeed_o be_v ground_v upon_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n that_o the_o magistrate_n do_v not_o bear_v the_o sword_n in_o vain_a but_o for_o the_o

the_o land_n and_o the_o public-weal_n but_o the_o question_n be_v this_o whether_o or_o no_o we_o may_v cease_v make_v war_n or_o to_o be_v plain_o whether_o we_o may_v for_o a_o time_n or_o for_o
