and_o the_o main_a that_o drive_v man_n to_o the_o parliament_n garrison_n and_o army_n be_v the_o irish_a murder_n with_o the_o papist_n power_n with_o the_o king_n they_o think_v that_o it_o must_v

therefore_o i_o own_v not_o any_o of_o the_o discern_a miscarriage_n of_o the_o parliament_n but_o only_o think_v i_o be_v bind_v to_o defend_v the_o common_a good_a and_o safety_n as_o it_o be_v the_o end_n of_o government_n my_o judgement_n yet_o be_v that_o if_o the_o king_n of_o england_n wrongful_o begin_v a_o war_n against_o france_n the_o subject_n ought_v by_o arm_n to_o help_v he_o not_o own_v his_o wrong_a cause_n but_o to_o save_v the_o kingdom_n which_o will_v be_v lose_v and_o enslave_v if_o he_o be_v conquer_a so_o the_o fault_n of_o the_o parliament_n can_v not_o

of_o a_o king_n be_v no_o such_o security_n 30._o i_o do_v believe_v that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o controversy_n in_o these_o case_n the_o supreme_a council_n and_o judicature_n of_o the_o kingdom_n have_v the_o most_o satisfy_a power_n of_o determination_n to_o particular_a person_n as_o the_o judgement_n of_o a_o general_n council_n be_v preferable_a to_o any_o low_a judge_n and_o the_o
