more_o wit_n than_o truth_n full_o fraught_v come_v i_o know_v how_o lawyer_n and_o divine_n have_v cheat_v the_o world_n ere_o then_o and_o when_o the_o holy-text_n or_o law_n be_v misapply_v or_o

which_o way_n man_n ought_v to_o go_v when_o therefore_o that_o great_a counsel_n call_v for_o aid_n with_o who_o the_o kingship_n always_o do_v reside_v in_o who_o command_n the_o king_n be_v best_a obey_v from_o who_o the_o king_n can_v himself_o divide_v to_o serve_v the_o king_n and_o parliament_n i_o come_v so_o loyal_o that_o if_o it_o treason_n be_v i_o will_v not_o ask_v a_o pardon_n for_o

think_v his_o duty_n do_v he_o wrong_n may_v find_v a_o friend_n but_o shall_v not_o keep_v he_o long_o i_o move_v not_o thus_o far_o but_o by_o command_n of_o sovereign-power_n whereto_o if_o it_o be_v treason_n to_o yield_v obedience_n we_o must_v understand_v they_o traitor_n be_v who_o walk_v by_o law_n and_o reason_n the_o sovereign-person_n may_v command_v that_o thing_n for_o which_o

by_o who_o this_o truth_n be_v not_o believe_v be_v teach_v by_o fool_n or_o else_o by_o knave_n deceive_v nor_o king_n nor_o parliament_n do_v i_o affect_v for_o private_a end_n nor_o do_v they_o
