the_o destruction_n of_o the_o church_n be_v not_o design_v for_o unless_o the_o king_n word_n be_v like_o the_o law_n of_o the_o mede_n and_o persian_n unalterable_a it_o will_v be_v but_o a_o

that_o the_o late_a king_n be_v on_o the_o throne_n for_o as_o much_o his_o friend_n as_o king_n charles_n be_v yet_o he_o do_v not_o know_v how_o far_o a_o parliament_n may_v have_v influence_v he_o
