and_o take_v the_o kingdom_n and_o government_n of_o the_o creation_n out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o self-seeking_a and_o self-honour_a flesh_n and_o rule_v the_o alone_a king_n of_o righteousness_n in_o the_o earth_n and_o this_o indeed_o be_v christ_n himself_o who_o will_v cast_v out_o the_o curse_n but_o this_o be_v not_o that_o kingly_a power_n intend_v by_o that_o act_n of_o parliament_n to_o be_v cast_v out_o but_o pretend_v to_o be_v set_v up_o though_o this_o kingly_a power_n be_v much_o fight_v against_o both_o by_o parliament_n army_n clergy_n and_o people_n but_o when_o they_o be_v make_v to_o see_v he_o than_o they_o shall_v mourn_v because_o they_o have_v persecute_v he_o but_o the_o other_o kingly_a power_n be_v the_o power_n of_o untighteousness_n which_o indeed_o be_v the_o devil_n and_o o_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o heart_n in_o parliament_n and_o army_n as_o to_o perform_v your_o own_o act_n then_o people_n will_v never_o complain_v of_o you_o for_o breach_n
