lord_n jesus_n himself_o nor_o his_o disciple_n will_v never_o by_o any_o outward_a force_n compel_v man_n to_o receive_v they_o or_o their_o doctrine_n for_o when_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n

to_o be_v some_o reflection_n on_o my_o book_n of_o the_o serious_a consideration_n of_o the_o oath_n of_o the_o king_n supremacy_n i_o shall_v let_v this_o pass_n but_o for_o these_o reason_n i_o

before_o discover_v but_o if_o by_o outward_a force_n impose_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_n mean_v of_o impose_v by_o civil_a penalty_n on_o the_o outward_a man_n something_o in_o god_n worship_n there_o be_v need_n of_o much_o caution_n to_o determine_v of_o their_o power_n civil_a penalty_n be_v great_a as_o death_n banishment_n mutilation_n imprisonment_n spoil_v of_o

by_o the_o argument_n of_o these_o petitioner_n not_o by_o the_o first_o for_o a_o king_n may_v do_v that_o which_o our_o lord_n christ_n in_o his_o state_n of_o humiliation_n will_v not_o do_v he_o
