when_o we_o speak_v of_o reformation_n we_o be_v traduce_v as_o enemy_n to_o the_o king_n and_o to_o royal_a authority_n which_o may_v make_v a_o great_a mistake_n and_o work_v dangerous_a effect_n among_o the_o people_n who_o love_v both_o reformation_n of_o religion_n and_o the_o king_n honour_n therefore_o in_o this_o difficulty_n we_o ought_v to_o show_v in_o our_o doctrine_n that_o there_o be_v no_o repugnancy_n betwixt_o the_o king_n authority_n and_o the_o reformation_n of_o religion_n that_o nothing_o can_v serve_v so_o much_o for_o his_o majesty_n glory_n and_o the_o greatness_n

of_o covenant_n 2._o the_o danger_n of_o this_o church_n and_o kingdom_n arise_v partly_o from_o within_o by_o the_o insolency_n of_o papist_n in_o these_o troublesome_a time_n and_o divisive_a

the_o fellow_n feel_v which_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v with_o the_o member_n of_o christ_n body_n far_o and_o near_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o lament_v the_o long_o cast_v trouble_n of_o the_o church_n abroad_o in_o germany_n and_o else_o where_o and_o especial_o the_o combustion_n in_o england_n and_o almost_o utter_a desolation_n in_o irela●d_n 4._o that_o the_o lord_n may_v bless_v all_o lawful_a mean_n to_o be_v use_v for_o preserve_v the_o union_n and_o peace_n betwixt_o the_o two_o kingdom_n and_o procure_v the_o unity_n of_o religion_n and_o uniformity_n of_o worship_n and_o church_n

that_o the_o lord_n will_v discover_v and_o disappoint_v all_o the_o conspiracy_n plot_n and_o machination_n which_o tend_v to_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o bloody_a decree_n of_o the_o council_n
