beside_o it_o now_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o giver_n will_v appear_v from_o two_o thing_n first_o from_o the_o occasion_n second_o from_o the_o equity_n of_o the_o oath_n the_o one_o show_v we_o what_o first_o be_v the_o other_o what_o still_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o intent_n of_o the_o giver_n and_o first_o for_o the_o occasion_n it_o be_v evident_a concern_v the_o present_a oath_n that_o they_o be_v at_o first_o occasion_v by_o and_o by_o consequence_n intend_v against_o the_o frequent_a and_o pernicious_a attempt_n of_o papist_n chief_o and_o collateral_o other_o delinquent_n by_o

by_o oath_n for_o the_o security_n of_o prince_n join_v with_o parliament_n against_o papist_n and_o other_o delinquent_n be_v but_o reason_n and_o justice_n but_o that_o the_o same_o provision_n shall_v also_o intend_v prince_n join_v with_o papist_n and_o other_o delinquent_n against_o parliament_n or_o their_o heir_n and_o successor_n in_o course_n of_o that_o nature_n can_v no_o way_n stand_v with_o either_o fortis_fw-la plain_n that_o such_o case_n neither_o do_v can_v nor_o aught_o to_o fall_v under_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o legislator_n and_o therefore_o must_v fall_v beyond_o and_o beside_o the_o meaning_n of_o these_o oath_n so_o that_o when_o prince_n prove_v untrue_a and_o unfaithful_a to_o their_o place_n it_o be_v of_o right_a that_o we_o may_v and_o of_o duty_n that_o we_o must_v be_v true_a and_o faithful_a to_o the_o commonwealth_n though_o establish_v without_o they_o yea_o and_o bless_v god_n that_o we_o have_v a_o establishment_n notwithstanding_o any_o thing_n real_o intend_v however_o pretend_v in_o these_o oath_n to_o the_o contrary_n second_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o where_o the_o letter_n bind_v to_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v dubious_a and_o can_v stand_v with_o reason_n and_o justice_n not_o it_o but_o the_o equity_n of_o a_o law_n be_v to_o be_v regard_v in_o omni_fw-la dubio_fw-la praesumendum_fw-la est_fw-la pro_fw-la aquitale_fw-it legis_fw-la and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o letter_n be_v variable_a but_o the_o equity_n be_v immutable_a and_o eternal_a now_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o two_o pretend_v to_o the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o public_a authority_n command_v thing_n contrary_a shall_v both_o command_v thing_n just_a at_o once_o in_o the_o same_o place_n and_o therefore_o the_o equity_n of_o the_o law_n in_o which_o both_o the_o precedent_n and_o present_a engagement_n agree_v require_v we_o in_o order_n of_o the_o salus_n of_o that_o society_n whereof_o we_o be_v member_n to_o be_v true_a and_o faithful_a to_o the_o obtain_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o public_a authority_n command_v thing_n lawful_a and_o just_a because_o in_o the_o peace_n thereof_o ourselves_o shall_v have_v peace_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o will_v further_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v that_o the_o obligation_n in_o the_o oath_n scruple_v so_o far_o as_o it_o concern_v the_o person_n must_v be_v take_v only_a conjunction_n with_o the_o crown_n and_o dignity_n i_o e._n the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o public_a authority_n because_o the_o formalis_fw-la ratio_fw-la under_o which_o they_o be_v capable_a either_o of_o require_v or_o receive_v the_o performance_n be_v qua_fw-la invest_v with_o the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o public_a authority_n for_o the_o person_n that_o act_v the_o authority_n give_v nothing_o to_o but_o take_v all_o from_o it_o and_o therefore_o without_o it_o be_v not_o the_o formal_a object_n to_o who_o the_o obligation_n ought_v to_o be_v perform_v whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o in_o case_n the_o king_n his_o heir_n and_o successor_n shall_v divide_v and_o separate_v their_o person_n from_o the_o crown_n and_o dignity_n and_o prostitute_v they_o to_o the_o patronage_n of_o the_o most_o opposite_a indignity_n they_o put_v themselves_o into_o a_o incapacity_n of_o receive_v the_o
