if_o that_o fail_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o wheel_n will_v move_v slow_o or_o stand_v still_o a_o man_n will_v drive_v heavy_o or_o not_o at_o all_o first_o fear_v god_n then_o honour_v the_o king_n

people_n may_v profess_v or_o pretend_v yea_o and_o boast_v of_o their_o good_a affection_n to_o his_o majesty_n i_o dare_v bold_o affirm_v they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v true_a honourer_n of_o he_o that_o they_o be_v no_o better_a than_o false_a traitor_n to_o he_o and_o enemy_n to_o his_o royal_a person_n crown_n and_o dignity_n do_v such_o man_n think_v they_o can_v honour_v the_o king_n

lo_o these_o be_v the_o man_n and_o this_o their_o conversation_n and_o thus_o they_o be_v all_o though_o by_o the_o way_n as_o christian_a religion_n be_v not_o the_o worse_a for_o some_o wicked_a man_n profess_v of_o it_o no_o more_o be_v loyalty_n neither_o rather_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o show_v there_o be_v some_o extraordinary_a beauty_n and_o excellency_n in_o they_o both_o because_o

draw_v towards_o a_o conclusion_n of_o this_o point_n the_o way_n to_o honour_v the_o king_n be_v to_o honour_n god_n first_o the_o way_n to_o fear_v and_o reverence_n and_o obey_v the_o king_n be_v
