of_o allegiance_n bind_v to_o be_v faithful_a to_o the_o king_n more_o than_o oliver_n to_o they_o for_o they_o according_a to_o the_o law_n be_v traitor_n and_o thereby_o incur_v the_o penalty_n of_o the_o law_n against_o such_o offender_n in_o take_v away_o their_o lawful_a sovereign_n which_o oliver_n know_v very_o well_o and_o that_o it_o be_v more_o lawful_a for_o he_o to_o dissolve_v they_o than_o they_o to_o cut_v off_o the_o king_n head_n know_v also_o they_o be_v rebel_n and_o traitor_n in_o act_v what_o they_o do_v against_o the_o king_n therefore_o no_o legal_a power_n but_o what_o
