i_o say_v not_o laudable_a for_o the_o scotchman_n to_o try_v and_o put_v their_o king_n some_o of_o they_o to_o death_n and_o yet_o they_o question_v the_o same_o in_o we_o sure_o we_o have_v ever_o think_v that_o king_n james_n and_o his_o race_n have_v as_o little_a reason_n to_o be_v unjust_a in_o england_n as_o in_o scotland_n and_o if_o they_o may_v question_v he_o as_o they_o have_v former_a king_n why_o may_v not_o we_o second_o i_o desire_v to_o know_v whether_o or_o no_o the_o action_n of_o the_o army_n in_o keep_v out_o sundry_a of_o the_o member_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o may_v not_o be_v as_o lawful_a as_o the_o act_n of_o their_o church_fw-mi in_o raise_v of_o a_o army_n not_o only_o with_o but_o against_o their_o parliament_n the_o last_o summer_n three_o one_o question_n more_o i_o will_v ask_v suppose_v a_o year_n hence_o a_o full_a parliament_n shall_v declare_v what_o this_o parliament_n have_v do_v and_o the_o high_a court_n of_o justice_n against_o the_o king_n to_o be_v law_n why_o may_v not_o this_o be_v as_o valide_fw-la and_o as_o good_a as_o when_o a_o parliament_n of_o they_o do_v declare_v that_o the_o put_n of_o james_n the_o 3_o to_o death_n though_o in_o a_o private_a way_n by_o private_a person_n be_v right_a and_o lawful_a and_o that_o declaration_n of_o they_o make_v it_o valid_a i_o will_v leave_v these_o question_n with_o you_o if_o you_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o kind_a as_o to_o resolve_v they_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v not_o be_v distract_v in_o my_o thought_n about_o they_o only_o let_v i_o beseech_v for_o by_o

never_o worse_a to_o invade_v we_o but_o i_o be_o above_o the_o arm_n of_o flesh_n i_o have_v learn_v to_o cease_v from_o man_n it_o be_v the_o lord_n alone_o that_o have_v be_v and_o will_v be_v

say_v let_v this_o be_v once_o settle_v and_o the_o law_n of_o this_o nation_n reduce_v i_o shall_v have_v reason_n to_o believe_v that_o england_n will_v quick_o be_v a_o happy_a commonwealth_n than_o it_o have_v be_v a_o kingdom_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n which_o for_o fourscore_o year_n i_o look_v upon_o as_o indubitable_a aphorism_n of_o state_n which_o ascent_v unto_o and_o pursue_v will_v soon_o end_v our_o murmur_n and_o render_v we_o a_o happy_a people_n first_o that_o the_o supreme_a power_n of_o all_o law_n whatsoever_o be_v in_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o people_n defuse_a as_o the_o soul_n through_o the_o whole_a body_n aturall_a not_o confine_v unto_o any_o particular_a it_o be_v therefore_o both_o well_o and_o rational_o resolve_v by_o mr._n mead_n that_o the_o sceptre_n do_v no_o way_n depart_v from_o judah_n nor_o the_o lawgiver_n from_o between_o his_o foot_n though_o without_o a_o king_n of_o david_n race_n when_o the_o shiloh_n come_v therefore_o it_o be_v in_o the_o people_n it_o be_v a_o conceit_n not_o fit_a to_o be_v quarter_v in_o the_o brain_n of_o man_n that_o king_n make_v sceptre_n the_o truth_n be_v that_o sceptre_n do_v declare_v
