well_o to_o answer_v these_o and_o the_o like_a reason_n before_o you_o so_o peremptory_o assert_v any_o inferior_a court_n to_o be_v authentic_a interpreter_n of_o public_a oath_n you_o have_v best_o have_v a_o care_n that_o you_o be_v not_o follow_v with_o a_o cry_n of_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n and_o indeed_o that_o legislative_a power_n be_v little_o better_a than_o ridiculous_a which_o may_v be_v authentical_o evade_v or_o make_v quite_o another_o thing_n by_o the_o inferior_a minister_n of_o it_o and_o after_o all_o the_o interpretation_n of_o those_o court_n will_v not_o excuse_v you_o from_o insincerity_n and_o prevaricate_a with_o the_o state_n as_o you_o seem_v to_o fear_v p._n 10._o for_o if_o those_o court_n do_v give_v a_o low_a and_o more_o easy_a sense_n of_o the_o oath_n than_o can_v reasonable_o be_v think_v be_v intend_v by_o the_o imposer_n you_o ought_v not_o to_o catch_v at_o that_o for_o a_o advantage_n which_o they_o have_v no_o power_n to_o give_v nor_o ought_v you_o to_o join_v with_o they_o in_o elude_v the_o oath_n but_o to_o take_v care_n of_o yourselves_o that_o they_o neither_o cousin_n you_o nor_o you_o other_o for_o a_o oath_n ought_v to_o be_v take_v in_o judgement_n truth_n and_o righteousness_n in_o all_o which_o point_v you_o will_v fail_v if_o you_o take_v this_o course_n but_o have_v a_o care_v you_o do_v not_o gull_v yourself_o at_o the_o last_o for_o what_o be_v that_o innocent_a sense_n which_o the_o most_o tender_a recusant_n may_v have_v swear_v to_o true_o i_o think_v the_o secret_a be_v worth_a money_n and_o poor_a as_o i_o be_o i_o will_v have_v give_v something_o to_o know_v it_o but_o that_o we_o may_v not_o trisle_v with_o our_o conscience_n i_o desire_v you_o and_o all_o your_o innocent_a brethren_n to_o give_v i_o any_o one_o innocent_a sense_n wherein_o a_o oath_n may_v be_v take_v to_o a_o usurper_n in_o order_n to_o the_o maintain_v his_o usurpation_n against_o the_o lawful_a king_n and_o though_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o either_o you_o or_o they_o though_o man_n of_o admirable_a invention_n can_v ever_o do_v it_o yet_o if_o you_o can_v it_o will_v not_o do_v your_o work_n for_o it_o be_v not_o what_o sense_n you_o give_v or_o take_v but_o what_o they_o impose_v but_o sir_n whilst_o you_o plead_v for_o other_o sincerity_n you_o render_v your_o own_o very_a suspicious_a for_o why_o be_v you_o so_o scrupulous_a about_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o oath_n do_v not_o you_o insolent_o charge_v king_n james_n with_o a_o session_n do_v not_o you_o thence_o ground_n a_o vacancy_n do_v not_o you_o assert_v william_n to_o be_v admit_v according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o constitution_n and_o by_o the_o proper_a judge_n now_o though_o these_o thing_n be_v never_o so_o false_a yet_o if_o you_o believe_v they_o true_a you_o believe_v he_o to_o be_v your_o lawful_a king_n and_o therefore_o according_a to_o your_o declare_a judgement_n may_v without_o scruple_n take_v the_o oath_n in_o as_o severe_a a_o sense_n as_o ever_o any_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n have_v be_v give_v in_o among_o we_o and_o therefore_o for_o you_o to_o make_v such_o a_o pother_n about_o sense_n and_o to_o look_v about_o so_o sharp_a for_o a_o innocent_a sense_n be_v enough_o to_o make_v a_o man_n suspect_v that_o you_o do_v not_o deal_v bona_fw-la side_n but_o that_o there_o be_v something_o still_o gall_v you_o and_o that_o your_o conscience_n lie_v snarl_v within_o whilst_o you_o make_v such_o fair_a weather_n abroad_o the_o impiety_n of_o the_o revolution_n have_v be_v already_o consider_v and_o your_o question_n about_o settlement_n answer_v your_o pity_n we_o scorn_v and_o whether_o we_o or_o you_o be_v the_o man_n who_o mind_n be_v entangle_v with_o wrong_a notion_n that_o they_o can_v act_v well_o no_o way_n you_o ought_v to_o have_v consider_v that_o such_o man_n infirmity_n have_v less_o right_a to_o overthrow_v than_o to_o obstruct_v public_a constitution_n you_o shall_v have_v free_a leave_n to_o object_v the_o latter_a to_o we_o when_o you_o have_v clear_v yourselves_o of_o the_o former_a whereas_o you_o think_v those_o tame_a person_n who_o submit_v to_o be_v one_o

have_v hit_v the_o true_a reason_n of_o most_o man_n submission_n and_o upon_o the_o principle_n many_o have_v proceed_v we_o may_v have_v as_o occasion_n serve_v meek_a forswearer_n meek_a rebel_n
