which_o they_o have_v swear_v and_o engage_v fidelity_n and_o allegiance_n so_o that_o many_o be_v not_o the_o more_o to_o be_v trust_v though_o they_o swear_v allegiance_n for_o the_o proverb_n say_v

though_o we_o swear_v not_o for_o we_o never_o yet_o engage_v ourselves_o by_o oath_n to_o any_o governor_n or_o government_n and_o yet_o we_o never_o rebel_v or_o plot_v against_o any_o but_o have_v

for_o refuse_v to_o take_v the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n it_o be_v not_o for_o plot_v against_o the_o king_n nor_o for_o refuse_v to_o acknowledge_v just_a authority_n to_o the_o king_n nor_o for_o
