to_o all_o error_n and_o heresy_n as_o they_o have_v begin_v to_o do_v do_v they_o not_o thereby_o justify_v the_o king_n before_o god_n and_o man_n for_o whoever_o yet_o question_v but_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o king_n to_o defend_v religion_n and_o his_o just_a authority_n against_o those_o that_o seek_v to_o subvert_v they_o and_o do_v they_o not_o hereby_o bring_v upon_o

solemn_a vow_n and_o covenant_n whereby_o the_o parliament_n bind_v themselves_o and_o we_o to_o maintain_v the_o government_n as_o it_o be_v then_o establish_v and_o therefore_o they_o can_v alter_v it_o without_o incur_v the_o guilt_n of_o perjury_n or_o covenant-breaking_n which_o god_n never_o suffer_v to_o pass_v unpunished_a no_o not_o among_o the_o heathen_n five_o we_o consider_v the_o

who_o may_v we_o thank_v for_o it_o but_o the_o modeller_n of_o our_o commonwealth_n six_o we_o can_v but_o fear_v that_o the_o alter_v our_o government_n into_o a_o commonwealth_n will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o end_v that_o it_o will_v but_o perpetuate_v our_o misery_n from_o generation_n to_o generation_n for_o so_o speak_v as_o christian_n the_o foundation_n of_o this_o intend_a commonwealth_n

the_o nation_n must_v be_v at_o the_o charge_n of_o maintain_v continual_o a_o army_n of_o fifty_o or_o sixty_o thousand_o man_n to_o please_v the_o humour_n and_o maintain_v the_o grandeur_n of_o
