author_n that_o i_o be_o a_o go_v to_o examine_v a_o little_a more_o familiar_o i_o hope_v the_o reader_n will_v not_o impute_v it_o to_o any_o roughness_n of_o temper_n in_o i_o for_o the_o examine_n

when_o the_o provocation_n be_v so_o just_a yet_o i_o be_o so_o sensible_a that_o this_o smartness_n of_o expression_n be_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v excuse_v than_o justify_v that_o

before_o i_o enter_v upon_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n i_o will_v take_v the_o liberty_n to_o set_v down_o a_o period_n of_o our_o author_n which_o show_v he_o as_o great_a a_o apostate_n from_o loyalty_n to_o the_o king_n as_o he_o be_v from_o the_o other_o doctor_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n he_o state_v the_o matter_n indeed_o as_o doubtful_a but_o the_o bring_n of_o our_o allegiance_n to_o the_o king_n to_o be_v disputable_a will_v be_v according_a to_o our_o law_n a_o matter_n of_o praemunire_n at_o least_o 12._o his_o word_n be_v whether_o in_o case_n that_o a_o

of_o they_o this_o be_v in_o plain_a english_a that_o it_o be_v disputable_a whether_o a_o pope_n may_v not_o depose_v a_o heretical_a prince_n and_o give_v his_o dominion_n to_o another_o some_o doctor_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n hold_v the_o affirmative_a and_o other_o the_o negative_a so_o that_o according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o probability_n every_o man_n may_v follow_v the_o affirmative_a with_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o this_o be_v so_o invidious_a a_o matter_n our_o author_n be_v propose_v it_o as_o doubtful_a without_o declare_v himself_o against_o it_o be_v a_o

10._o the_o bull_n of_o dispensation_n that_o the_o king_n ask_v be_v set_v down_o by_o dr._n burnet_n among_o the_o record_n that_o he_o give_v we_o in_o which_o there_o be_v no_o such_o clause_n

reject_v that_o imputation_n that_o be_v cast_v on_o the_o king_n as_o if_o he_o proceed_v in_o this_o matter_n out_o of_o a_o aversion_n to_o the_o queen_n 24._o or_o that_o he_o be_v engage_v in_o

here_o while_o he_o be_v in_o england_n he_o will_v condemn_v these_o treasonable_a doctrine_n the_o ground_n upon_o which_o he_o condemn_v they_o be_v also_o suitable_a to_o the_o condemnation_n
