be_v set_v over_o we_o instead_o of_o it_o have_v premise_v this_o state_n of_o our_o government_n and_o constitution_n i_o think_v it_o will_v not_o be_v deny_v i_o that_o wherever_o there_o have_v be_v a_o direct_a contravention_n to_o either_o of_o those_o fundamental_a support_v of_o our_o government_n it_o have_v cause_v a_o subversion_n of_o the_o government_n itself_o i_o must_v now_o

he_o will_v govern_v by_o law_n and_o that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n have_v make_v the_o king_n as_o great_a as_o he_o desire_v to_o be_v yet_o he_o do_v certain_o change_v his_o mind_n within_o

and_o they_o can_v not_o be_v deliver_v out_o of_o this_o condition_n but_o by_o a_o law_n which_o shall_v annul_v the_o former_a law_n against_o they_o and_o make_v they_o as_o capable_a of_o place_n of_o trust_n as_o any_o of_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n now_o do_v not_o the_o late_a king_n by_o his_o dispense_v power_n and_o his_o sole_a authority_n make_v such_o a_o law_n for_o they_o do_v he_o not_o annul_v all_o the_o law_n in_o force_n against_o they_o and_o qualify_v the_o recusant_n and_o put_v they_o into_o place_n of_o trust_n what_o can_v any_o law_n make_v by_o the_o true_a legislative_a authority_n a_o king_n with_o his_o parliament_n have_v do_v more_o for_o they_o than_o the_o king_n himself_o without_o a_o parliament_n concurrence_n do_v i_o think_v my_o lord_n this_o instance_n sufficient_a to_o show_v that_o the_o dispense_v power_n which_o king_n jame_v use_v be_v to_o all_o intent_n and_o purpose_n a_o legislative_a power_n since_o as_o i_o

the_o chief_a fundamental_a of_o which_o be_v that_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v make_v by_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n and_o if_o our_o constitution_n be_v subvert_v i_o can_v see_v how_o his_o

of_o himself_o divest_v himself_o of_o and_o lay_v aside_o that_o authority_n which_o we_o only_o swear_v to_o submit_v to_o and_o defend_v if_o your_o lordship_n shall_v ask_v i_o when_o this_o

8._o 2._o where_o the_o preacher_n advise_v to_o keep_v the_o king_n commandment_n and_o that_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o oath_n of_o god_n that_o be_v of_o the_o oath_n of_o obedience_n which_o the_o

ezek._n 17._o 15_o 16_o 18_o 19_o and_o for_o those_o king_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o who_o allegiance_n be_v so_o strict_o command_v to_o be_v pay_v it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o
