contrary_a we_o know_v that_o nothing_o be_v more_o preach_v up_o than_o passive_a obedience_n found_v on_o the_o prerogative_n of_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n as_o if_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n

yet_o the_o world_n know_v how_o well_o nature_a the_o bishop_n of_o scotland_n be_v upon_o that_o point_n and_o in_o this_o present_a reign_n we_o all_o know_v how_o that_o bishop_n of_o england_n

will_v now_o protest_v that_o the_o liberty_n i_o take_v of_o write_v after_o this_o manner_n may_v not_o give_v offence_n to_o the_o clergy_n of_o any_o church_n nor_o that_o i_o may_v meet_v with_o

the_o civil_a government_n it_o be_v join_v with_o so_o that_o if_o i_o be_v subject_a to_o a_o absolute_a monarch_n i_o shall_v esteem_v episcopacy_n as_o most_o agreeable_a to_o his_o government_n but_o whilst_o i_o live_v in_o scotland_n or_o england_n i_o must_v love_v that_o church_n government_n which_o be_v least_o dangerous_a to_o the_o people_n liberty_n i_o leave_v it_o therefore_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o every_o unbiased_a laic_a to_o determine_v if_o presbytrie_n or_o superintendency_n be_v not_o more_o convenient_a for_o the_o people_n of_o a_o limit_a monarchy_n than_o episcopacy_n as_o it_o be_v now_o establish_v in_o england_n and_o less_o capable_a to_o comply_v with_o a_o ambitious_a prince_n for_o the_o undermine_a the_o fundamental_a law_n of_o his_o kingdom_n
