to_o call_v he_o a_o king_n who_o do_v oppose_v his_o people_n but_o four_o the_o end_n of_o that_o clause_n which_o concern_v the_o execute_a king_n it_o declare_v that_o it_o be_v to_o let_v the_o

the_o just_a greatness_n of_o any_o king_n that_o ever_o be_v to_o be_v free_a from_o the_o power_n and_o authority_n of_o justice_n and_o majesty_n itself_o such_o a_o lose_n of_o a_o king_n buckanan_n rather_o account_v the_o lose_n of_o a_o monster_n than_o the_o lose_n of_o a_o man_n i_o may_v rather_o promise_v to_o maintain_v and_o preserve_v that_o which_o be_v the_o just_a power_n and_o the_o just_a greatness_n of_o any_o prince_n or_o person_n whatsoever_o in_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o i_o may_v without_o breach_n of_o promise_n judge_v the_o unjust_a

therefore_o guess_v that_o all_o those_o scruple_n pretend_o build_v upon_o the_o covenant_n have_v more_o of_o show_n then_o of_o strength_n and_o such_o as_o in_o this_o pretend_v religion_n do_v indeed_o affront_v reason_n the_o covenant_n may_v and_o do_v remain_v inviolable_a notwithstanding_o the_o trial_n of_o charles_n stuart_n and_o humble_o confident_a i_o be_o in_o the_o great_a day_n

i_o say_v not_o laudable_a for_o the_o scotchman_n to_o try_v and_o put_v their_o king_n some_o of_o they_o to_o death_n and_o yet_o they_o question_v the_o same_o in_o we_o sure_o we_o have_v ever_o
