find_v occasion_n where_o they_o be_v a_o little_a want_v in_o this_o their_o so_o much_o boast_a loyalty_n and_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o by_o the_o principle_n of_o that_o religion_n the_o king_n can_v never_o be_v assure_v of_o the_o fidelity_n of_o those_o he_o call_v his_o catholic_n subject_n but_o by_o engage_v to_o they_o to_o make_v his_o heretical_a subject_n sacrifice_n to_o their_o rage_n xi_o the_o king_n declare_v they_o capable_a of_o all_o the_o office_n and_o benefice_n which_o he_o shall_v think_v fit_a to_o bestow_v on_o they_o and_o only_o restrain_v they_o from_o

they_o do_v not_o break_v into_o they_o by_o force_n and_o whatsoever_o may_v be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o term_n benefice_n in_o its_o ancient_a and_o first_o signification_n now_o it_o stand_v only_o for_o church_n preferment_n so_o that_o when_o any_o church_n that_o be_v at_o the_o king_n gift_n fall_v vacant_a here_o be_v a_o plain_a intimation_n that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v provide_v

establish_v the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o supremacy_n as_o the_o late_a test_n enact_v by_o himself_o in_o person_n while_o he_o represent_v his_o brother_n upon_o which_o he_o give_v as_o strange_a a_o essay_n to_o the_o world_n of_o his_o absolute_a justice_n in_o the_o attainder_n of_o the_o late_a earl_n of_o argile_n as_o he_o do_v now_o of_o his_o absolute_a power_n in_o condemn_v the_o test_n itself_o he_o also_o repeal_v his_o own_o confirmation_n of_o the_o test_n since_o he_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n which_o he_o offer_v as_o the_o clear_a evidence_n that_o he_o can_v give_v of_o his_o resolution_n to_o maintain_v the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o by_o which_o he_o gain_v so_o much_o upon_o that_o parliament_n that_o he_o obtain_v every_o thing_n from_o they_o that_o he_o desire_v of_o they_o till_o he_o come_v to_o try_v they_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o religion_n this_o be_v no_o extraordinary_a evidence_n to_o assure_v his_o people_n that_o his_o promise_n will_v be_v like_o the_o law_n of_o the_o mede_n and_o persian_n which_o alter_v not_o nor_o will_v the_o disgrace_n of_o the_o commissioner_n that_o enact_v that_o law_n lay_v this_o
