as_o a_o sinful_a and_o unlawful_a oath_n it_o be_v the_o high-commission_n oath_n with_o which_o the_o prelate_n ever_o have_v and_o still_o do_v so_o butcherly_a torment_n afflict_v and_o undo_v

be_v express_o against_o the_o petition_n of_o right_a a_o act_n of_o parliament_n enact_v in_o the_o second_o year_n of_o our_o king_n again_o it_o be_v absolute_o against_o the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o that_o law_n require_v no_o man_n to_o accuse_v himself_o but_o if_o any_o thing_n be_v lay_v to_o his_o charge_n there_o must_v come_v two_o or_o three_o witness_n at_o the_o least_o to_o

nay_o it_o be_v worse_a than_o the_o law_n of_o the_o heathen_a roman_n as_o we_o may_v read_v act._n 25.16_o for_o when_o paul_n stand_v before_o the_o pagan_a governor_n and_o the_o law_n require_v
