A52946	The New oath examined, and found guilty		1690 (1690)	Wing N690; ESTC R41049	2,448	1

the_o new_a oath_n examine_v and_o find_v guilty_a since_o oath_n be_v solemn_a serious_a thing_n the_o best_a security_n to_o king_n and_o since_o be_v all_o allegiance_n swear_v to_o i_o as_o king_n

affirm_v as_o many_o do_v they_o both_o consistent_a be_v and_o true_a i_o ask_v can_v you_o two_o master_n serve_v and_o never_o from_o your_o duty_n swerve_v or_o can_v you_o true_a allegiance_n

or_o take_v no_o oath_n or_o make_v they_o good_a which_o here_o you_o can_v if_o you_o will_v nor_o will_v these_o oath_n as_o some_o contend_v to_o your_o own_o private_a mean_v bend_n you_o swear_v to_o each_o as_o to_o a_o king_n and_o aught_o to_o mean_v the_o self_n same_o thing_n and_o it_o be_v allegiance_n full_a and_o true_a be_v swear_v to_o both_o to_o both_o as_o due_a to_o say_v the_o
