these_o nation_n be_v monarchical_a in_o church_n and_o state_n these_o war_n have_v give_v birth_n and_o growth_n to_o several_a interest_n both_o in_o church_n and_o state_n heretofore_o not_o

of_o all_o the_o foresay_a interest_n both_o civil_a and_o spiritual_a i_o mean_v so_o far_o as_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n they_o be_v warrant_v to_o be_v protect_v and_o preserve_v if_o this_o be_v so_o then_o that_o government_n under_o which_o we_o former_o be_v both_o in_o state_n and_o church_n viz._n monarchy_n can_v possible_o be_v admit_v for_o the_o future_a in_o these_o nation_n because_o its_o support_n be_v take_v away_o and_o because_o its_o exclusive_a of_o all_o the_o former_a interest_n both_o civil_a and_o spiritual_a all_o of_o they_o be_v incompatible_a with_o
