make_v use_n for_o our_o destruction_n allow_v it_o in_o such_o a_o exigent_n as_o the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n have_v experience_n of_o our_o fidelity_n in_o render_v up_o to_o they_o the_o town_n

four_o class_n of_o argument_n take_v from_o the_o breach_n of_o covenant_n we_o grant_v that_o breach_n of_o covenant_n be_v a_o great_a sin_n and_o pain_n need_v not_o be_v take_v for_o prove_v

though_o they_o shall_v quarrel_v any_o in_o a_o orderly_a way_n for_o seditious_a doctrine_n be_v it_o any_o breach_n of_o covenant_n for_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o maintain_v any_o such_o

and_o late_o in_o this_o kingdom_n be_v never_o use_v as_o a_o argument_n to_o prove_v the_o unlawfulnesse_n of_o these_o engagement_n and_o we_o wish_v there_o have_v be_v the_o like_a search_n in_o

the_o king_n majesty_n to_o the_o instance_n of_o breach_n in_o their_o second_o article_n of_o the_o covenant_n we_o answer_v to_o the_o first_o that_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o queen_n return_n
