these_o term_n obey_v your_o king_n although_o they_o be_v wicked_a and_o write_v unto_o titus_n in_o his_o three_o chapter_n he_o say_v thus_o pet_n they_o in_o remembrance_n that_o they_o be_v

these_o be_v the_o word_n of_o s._n paul_n unto_o who_o the_o preacher_n agree_v eccl._n cap._n 20._o saying_n we_o must_v not_o speak_v ill_o of_o our_o king_n nor_o offend_v he_o in_o any_o thing_n tertullian_n in_o the_o 30._o &_o 37._o of_o his_o book_n call_v the_o apology_n show_v we_o clear_o that_o true_a christian_n ought_v never_o to_o think_v for_o any_o occasion_n whatsoever_o to_o

he_o see_v it_o be_v no_o point_n of_o their_o duty_n what_o matter_n have_v they_o wherewith_o to_o charge_v his_o conscience_n see_v they_o can_v prove_v that_o he_o ever_o attempt_v any_o thing_n against_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n can_v any_o among_o they_o say_v true_o '_o that_o his_o majesty_n have_v punish_v or_o cause_v to_o be_v punish_v any_o man_n for_o his_o honest_a behaviour_n or_o
