this_o kingdom_n to_o such_o a_o posture_n do_v not_o prorogue_v the_o compass_v the_o same_o end_n let_v god_n and_o the_o world_n judge_n and_o then_o be_v not_o these_o thing_n flat_o against_o the_o three_o article_n of_o the_o covenant_n whereby_o we_o be_v all_o swear_a to_o defend_v one_o another_o in_o this_o common_a cause_n which_o how_o do_v we_o perform_v when_o we_o deny_v

this_o they_o answer_v first_o that_o they_o be_v oblige_v in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o see_v the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n settle_v and_o then_o to_o look_v to_o temporal_a thing_n for_o this_o they_o have_v not_o only_o law_n and_o reason_n to_o begin_v at_o god_n but_o also_o example_n first_o out_o of_o the_o sacred_a history_n where_o we_o see_v that_o all_o true_a reformer_n of_o the_o
