without_o the_o approbation_n and_o consent_n of_o their_o own_o fellow_n subject_n even_o of_o their_o own_o set_n up_o and_o that_o too_o as_o one_o of_o the_o product_n of_o a_o bloody_a

advantageous_a for_o they_o only_o because_o the_o head_n of_o the_o catholic_n confederacy_n have_v then_o hope_n of_o get_v more_o from_o the_o king_n who_o condition_n then_o begin_v to_o decline_v by_o rebellion_n then_o by_o peace_n nay_o that_o which_o their_o two_o former_a oath_n do_v not_o oblige_v they_o unto_o viz._n to_o reject_v a_o peace_n make_v with_o his_o majesty_n when_o consent_v to_o and_o approve_v by_o their_o general_n assembly_n they_o swear_v to_o observe_v and_o that_o which_o their_o two_o former_a oath_n oblige_v they_o unto_o viz._n during_o their_o life_n to_o bear_v true_a faith_n and_o allegiance_n to_o the_o king_n they_o will_v not_o observe_v though_o the_o rate_n of_o that_o crime_n amount_v to_o no_o less_o than_o to_o a_o double_a if_o not_o

into_o be_v a_o duty_n incumbent_n on_o they_o from_o the_o first_o and_o be_v to_o have_v no_o end_n but_o if_o p._n w._n shall_v say_v that_o this_o oath_n have_v only_a reference_n to_o the_o

therefore_o if_o they_o be_v not_o right_o apply_v as_o to_o the_o time_n yet_o they_o be_v as_o to_o the_o thing_n certain_o no_o write_v wickedness_n can_v ascend_v high_a than_o in_o that_o same_o
