confirm_v by_o so_o many_o parliament_n i_o much_o doubt_n but_o be_o not_o at_o leisure_n to_o cast_v up_o the_o account_n but_o if_o this_o argument_n be_v good_a presbytery_n shall_v be_v support_v

his_o 3_o d._n that_o what_o the_o late_a ruler_n do_v be_v do_v by_o law_n and_o that_o these_o law_n be_v make_v for_o preserve_v the_o protestant_a religion_n monarchy_n humane_a society_n and_o
