elizabeth_n come_v out_o the_o next_o day_n or_o at_o least_o very_o short_o after_o the_o death_n of_o the_o queen_n of_o scot_n whereas_o it_o be_v not_o till_o many_o year_n after_o 3d._n whereas_o

the_o church_n of_o england_n appropriate_v to_o themselves_o alone_o the_o principle_n of_o true_a loyalty_n and_o that_o no_o other_o church_n or_o communion_n on_o earth_n can_v be_v consistent_a with_o monarchy_n or_o indeed_o with_o any_o government_n this_o be_v a_o presumption_n of_o so_o high_a a_o nature_n that_o it_o render_v the_o church_n of_o england_n a_o despicable_a enemy_n to_o

have_v the_o key_n of_o it_o will_v suffer_v none_o other_o to_o come_v thither_o whereas_o the_o church_n of_o england_n allow_v not_o only_o that_o all_o protestant_n have_v true_a faith_n and_o true_a loyalty_n as_o well_o as_o she_o and_o the_o same_o faith_n and_o loyalty_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o harmony_n of_o their_o confession_n but_o also_o that_o pagan_n be_v capable_a of_o moral_a
