the_o parliament_n of_o scotland_n have_v go_v near_o to_o have_v brand_v some_o of_o those_o who_o be_v tool_n to_o the_o say_a englishman_n with_o perpetual_a infamy_n have_v it_o not_o be_v out_o

those_o minister_n of_o state_n to_o who_o his_o majesty_n entrust_v the_o management_n of_o affair_n though_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o if_o any_o party_n be_v abridge_v by_o the_o act_n it_o be_v

what_o the_o church_n of_o england_n impose_v upon_o her_o clergy_n we_o hope_v that_o that_o venerable_a society_n will_v find_v no_o cause_n to_o complain_v that_o the_o term_n of_o our_o

and_o discipline_n which_o i_o suppose_v will_v gall_v their_o patron_n more_o than_o if_o they_o have_v disow_v her_o doctrine_n which_o its_o plain_a they_o must_v also_o do_v if_o they_o refuse_v

their_o refusal_n to_o sign_v the_o confession_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o have_v also_o relinquish_v her_o doctrine_n and_o whether_o king_n william_n have_v any_o reason_n to_o
