in_o every_o one_o of_o these_o three_o act_n they_o declare_v that_o their_o zeal_n for_o settle_v the_o succession_n be_v for_o prevention_n of_o those_o mischief_n and_o that_o bloodshed_n that_o

for_o he_o be_v a_o subject_a of_o a_o protestant_a kingdom_n and_o as_o such_o have_v protestant_a law_n to_o rule_v he_o he_o can_v neither_o force_v his_o neighbour_n or_o his_o tenant_n to_o

if_o he_o take_v any_o violent_a or_o unlawful_a course_n to_o propagate_v his_o own_o persuasion_n he_o be_v not_o so_o big_a but_o he_o may_v be_v bring_v into_o westminster-hall_n to_o answer_v
