war_n to_o kill_v and_o slay_v man_n but_o upon_o a_o lawful_a call_n and_o invitation_n from_o the_o supreme_a authority_n or_o law-making_a power_n now_o if_o the_o supreme_a authority_n of_o this_o

to_o engage_v in_o kill_v and_o slay_v of_o man_n and_o if_o you_o shall_v have_v the_o supreme_a authority_n rational_o prove_v and_o declare_v to_o be_v in_o the_o commons_o distinct_a from_o any_o

for_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o fight_v by_o lawful_a authority_n but_o you_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o fight_v for_o what_o be_v just_a lawful_a authority_n be_v sometime_o mistake_v and_o many_o time_n so_o pervert_v and_o corrupt_v as_o to_o command_v the_o kill_n and_o imprison_a man_n for_o do_v that_o which_o be_v just_a and_o commendable_a and_o for_o oppose_v what_o be_v unjust_a and_o destructive_a therefore_o as_o you_o be_v to_o forbear_v till_o you_o see_v the_o supreme_a authority_n distinct_o and_o rational_o state_v so_o also_o you_o be_v not_o to_o engage_v till_o
