and_o absolve_v himself_o before_o god_n of_o this_o lamentable_a effusion_n of_o christian_a blood_n for_o there_o must_v not_o only_o be_v a_o perspicuous_a justice_n in_o the_o cause_n but_o a_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o the_o war_n when_o king_n take_v up_o the_o sword_n against_o such_o a_o considerable_a number_n of_o their_o subject_n as_o our_o king_n now_o fight_v against_o though_o
