have_v persuade_v we_o that_o by_o a_o certain_a hocus_n pocus_fw-la trick_n they_o be_v metamorphize_v into_o a_o parliament_n you_o see_v plain_o that_o they_o be_v no_o better_a than_o a_o

when_o you_o set_v pen_n to_o paper_n it_o be_v to_o this_o effect_n that_o when_o the_o violence_n be_v essential_o unjust_a unnatural_a and_o contrary_a to_o the_o moral_a and_o eternal_a law_n of_o

be_v not_o what_o sense_n you_o give_v or_o take_v but_o what_o they_o impose_v but_o sir_n whilst_o you_o plead_v for_o other_o sincerity_n you_o render_v your_o own_o very_a suspicious_a for_o why_o be_v you_o so_o scrupulous_a about_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o oath_n do_v not_o you_o insolent_o charge_v king_n james_n with_o a_o session_n do_v not_o you_o thence_o ground_n a_o vacancy_n do_v not_o you_o assert_v william_n to_o be_v admit_v according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o constitution_n and_o by_o the_o proper_a judge_n now_o though_o these_o thing_n be_v never_o so_o false_a yet_o if_o you_o believe_v they_o true_a you_o believe_v he_o to_o be_v your_o lawful_a king_n and_o therefore_o according_a to_o your_o declare_a judgement_n may_v without_o scruple_n take_v the_o oath_n in_o as_o severe_a a_o sense_n as_o ever_o any_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n have_v be_v give_v in_o among_o we_o and_o therefore_o for_o you_o to_o make_v such_o a_o pother_n about_o sense_n and_o to_o
