upon_o what_o ground_n and_o by_o who_o mean_n thing_n be_v thus_o carry_v conclude_v then_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o get_v into_o the_o nation_n but_o upon_o the_o ruin_n of_o our_o bishop_n

perhaps_o no_o more_o prejudice_n to_o the_o country_n second_o i_o must_v confess_v it_o behoove_v the_o scot_n predicant_n if_o possible_a to_o see_v episcopacy_n cashier_a root_n and_o branch_n

and_o security_n except_o they_o can_v handsome_o retreat_v with_o speed_n yet_o both_o english_a and_o scotch_a gentry_n of_o this_o gang_n may_v consider_v that_o such_o a_o course_n can_v stand_v long_o in_o england_n where_o be_v myriad_n of_o more_o generous_a soul_n than_o in_o scotland_n they_o must_v always_o expect_v a_o fly_a out_o into_o any_o extremes_n that_o yield_v the_o least_o hope_n of_o a_o advantage_n to_o throw_v their_o rider_n three_o if_o the_o scot_n plead_v conscience_n for_o extirp_a the_o government_n by_o bishop_n as_o bind_v thereto_o by_o covenant_n yet_o see_v bishop_n be_v every_o jot_n as_o wholesome_a a_o word_n and_o as_o much_o scripturall_a as_o presbyter_n and_o that_o our_o weak_a brethren_n in_o england_n be_v wed_v to_o that_o form_n as_o more_o tolerable_a than_o any_o other_o and_o more_o suitable_a to_o the_o law_n and_o constitution_n of_o the_o monarchy_n i_o suppose_v that_o the_o admission_n of_o a_o bishop_n mortify_v regulate_v and_o prune_v of_o his_o superfluity_n will_v no_o whit_n clash_v with_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o covenant_n for_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o scope_n of_o it_o be_v not_o against_o

these_o also_o be_v admit_v again_o as_o i_o can_v see_v how_o they_o may_v be_v well_o refuse_v yet_o the_o scot_n for_o their_o part_n and_o those_o of_o their_o party_n here_o in_o england_n have_v endeavour_v their_o utmost_a to_o extirp_v it_o they_o have_v do_v all_o that_o the_o covenant_n require_v though_o it_o be_v not_o effect_v but_o see_v most_o in_o england_n will_v not_o be_v content_a without_o it_o and_o nothing_o but_o another_o conquest_n can_v force_v any_o other_o upon_o they_o i_o think_v rational_a man_n shall_v sit_v down_o content_a with_o a_o discharge_n of_o their_o conscience_n in_o have_v serious_o endeavour_v the_o extirp_n it_o to_o their_o power_n further_a than_o which_o the_o covenant_n do_v not_o bind_v they_o rather_o then_o aim_v at_o a_o
