we_o protestant_n hold_v there_o be_v no_o place_n of_o scripture_n neither_o clear_a nor_o obscure_a neither_o in_o general_n nor_o particular_a prove_v purgatory_n nor_o any_o tradition_n at_o all_o for_o it_o in_o a_o word_n let_v we_o suppose_v that_o god_n have_v not_o at_o all_o reveal_v it_o which_o be_v the_o utmost_a that_o can_v be_v suppose_v by_o we_o yet_o i_o think_v no_o man_n can_v right_o swear_v with_o a_o good_a conscience_n that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o matter_n or_o that_o the_o opinion_n which_o assert_n such_o a_o thing_n be_v absolute_o false_a for_o how_o many_o mystery_n and_o and_o thing_n know_v to_o god_n may_v there_o be_v most_o true_a in_o themselves_o which_o god_n never_o reveal_v nor_o happy_o ever_o will_v reveal_v and_o which_o therefore_o due_o consider_v the_o matter_n we_o can_v neither_o swear_v to_o be_v or_o not_o to_o be_v because_o we_o have_v no_o sufficient_a certainty_n pro_fw-la or_o con_v concern_v they_o this_o abjuration_n

a_o most_o rash_a and_o temerarious_a swear_n it_o be_v a_o swear_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v false_a which_o for_o aught_o he_o know_v may_v be_v true_a it_o be_v expose_v a_o man_n self_n to_o evident_a peril_n of_o take_v a_o false_a oath_n and_o thereby_o of_o commit_v a_o most_o grievous_a and_o heinous_a sin_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n 9_o another_o consideration_n that_o may_v be_v against_o the_o oath_n and_o reflect_v upon_o all_o person_n as_o well_o as_o papist_n be_v this_o that_o a_o man_n be_v require_v to_o swear_v that_o no_o power_n whatsoever_o can_v absolve_v he_o from_o this_o oath_n this_o be_v couch_v in_o these_o word_n no_o power_n derive_v from_o the_o pope_n or_o churchof_n rome_n nor_o any_o other_z person_n can_v absolve_v i_o from_o this_o oath_n for_o though_o neither_o the_o pope_n nor_o church_n of_o rome_n can_v do_v it_o yet_o to_o swear_v that_o no_o other_o person_n have_v power_n to_o do_v it_o be_v to_o swear_v a_o thing_n manifest_o false_a for_o see_v one_o lawful_a parliament_n can_v dissolve_v and_o annul_v what_o any_o former_a parliament_n have_v enact_v yea_o the_o self_n same_o parliament_n can_v annul_v those_o act_n which_o itself_o have_v make_v suppose_v that_o either_o this_o present_a or_o some_o succeed_a parliament_n shall_v abolish_v this_o oath_n and_o declare_v it_o to_o be_v no_o long_o of_o force_n to_o oblige_v any_o shall_v not_o all_o that_o have_v take_v it_o be_v absolve_v from_o the_o obligation_n of_o it_o and_o be_v it_o not_o clear_a that_o whosoever_o take_v it_o in_o this_o form_n do_v as_o much_o as_o in_o he_o lie_v forswear_v and_o abjure_v the_o very_a privilege_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o parliament_n itself_o which_o be_v due_a to_o it_o and_o inseparable_a from_o it_o by_o the_o fundamental_a law_n of_o the_o nation_n whosoever_o i_o say_v take_v this_o oath_n swear_v as_o much_o indeed_o against_o the_o know_a power_n of_o the_o chief_a magistracy_n of_o this_o nation_n as_o against_o the_o pretend_a power_n of_o the_o pope_n or_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o though_o it_o shall_v be_v answer_v that_o the_o oath_n express_v power_n derive_v from_o any_o other_o person_n and_o not_o from_o any_o other_o person_n yet_o it_o be_v as_o easy_o reply_v that_o it_o have_v say_v immediate_o before_o the_o pope_n or_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o latter_a signify_v a_o collection_n of_o many_o together_o as_o much_o as_o the_o parliament_n do_v the_o word_n any_o other_o person_n may_v be_v understand_v either_o of_o any_o one_o single_a person_n as_o be_v the_o pope_n or_o of_o many_o single_a person_n collect_v and_o unite_v together_o as_o be_v that_o of_o the_o church_n and_o parliament_n so_o that_o the_o meaning_n be_v of_o any_o other_o person_n such_o as_o the_o pope_n or_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v that_o be_v either_o consider_v separate_a and_o alone_a or_o join_v with_o other_o for_o in_o church_n and_o parliament_n both_o the_o power_n be_v derive_v from_o every_o one_o every_o one_o be_v a_o parliament-man_n and_o have_v parliament_n power_n partial_o in_o himself_o so_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v vote_v or_o do_v in_o parliament_n may_v true_o enough_o be_v say_v to_o be_v derive_v from_o a_o person_n as_o be_v either_o express_o or_o virtual_o the_o act_n and_o suffrage_n of_o every_o single_a person_n in_o parliament_n whence_o follow_v my_o inference_n that_o to_o swear_v that_o no_o person_n whatsoever_o can_v absolve_v i_o from_o this_o oath_n be_v to_o swear_v that_o the_o parliament_n itself_o can_v do_v it_o 10._o to_o be_v short_a suppose_v some_o protestant_n native_a of_o this_o nation_n shall_v have_v live_v long_o within_o the_o pope_n dominion_n in_o italy_n with_o his_o house_n and_o family_n and_o shall_v there_o have_v natularize_v himself_o and_o make_v himself_o a_o subject_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o after_o that_o return_v hither_o again_o upon_o his_o occasion_n shall_v at_o his_o entrance_n be_v press_v to_o take_v the_o oath_n refuse_v it_o because_o he_o thereby_o swear_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v no_o jurisdiction_n nor_o authority_n over_o he_o in_o particular_a which_o in_o this_o particular_a case_n be_v contrary_a unto_o truth_n will_v it_o not_o be_v ridiculous_a now_o to_o use_v t._n s._n his_o argument_n against_o he_o and_o pretend_v he_o be_v not_o a_o protestant_n but_o a_o papist_n because_o he_o refuse_v the_o oath_n of_o abjuration_n not_o to_o urge_v that_o in_o justice_n the_o oath_n can_v not_o be_v urge_v upon_o he_o nor_o any_o advantage_n take_v against_o he_o for_o refuse_v it_o though_o he_o be_v indeed_o a_o papist_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o say_a clause_n which_o render_v the_o oath_n unlawful_a for_o he_o to_o take_v abstract_v from_o religion_n because_o the_o pope_n in_o this_o case_n have_v de_fw-la jure_fw-la at_o least_o authority_n over_o such_o a_o person_n in_o particular_a 11._o but_o the_o prelatical_a malice_n object_n yet_o further_o that_o the_o urge_n of_o this_o oath_n of_o abjuration_n be_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o nation_n papist_n say_v they_o be_v a_o people_n who_o principle_n be_v incompatible_a with_o all_o government_n and_o governor_n who_o be_v not_o of_o their_o own_o persuasion_n their_o religion_n teach_v they_o that_o faith_n be_v not_o to_o be_v keep_v with_o heretic_n and_o they_o esteem_v all_o as_o such_o who_o be_v not_o member_n of_o their_o catholic_a church_n therefore_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v permit_v to_o grow_v rich_a by_o enjoy_v and_o improve_n their_o estate_n as_o other_o man_n but_o the_o oath_n of_o abjuration_n be_v well_o advise_v in_o that_o respect_n by_o the_o presbyterian_o the_o better_a to_o find_v they_o out_o that_o the_o law_n may_v be_v put_v in_o execution_n against_o they_o 12._o to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o this_o be_v rather_o the_o result_n of_o their_o malice_n who_o make_v the_o objection_n they_o will_v never_o be_v draw_v to_o take_v notice_n that_o papist_n universal_o disow_v that_o tenet_n which_o be_v object_v to_o they_o as_o they_o and_o in_o

will_v i_o presume_v hardly_o be_v able_a to_o do_v for_o be_v not_o the_o imputation_n prove_v manifest_o to_o be_v false_a by_o continual_a experience_n of_o protestant_n treat_v commerce_a and_o

in_o their_o own_o they_o will_v never_o look_v upon_o the_o just_a obedience_n which_o those_o papist_n subject_n of_o the_o unite_a netherlands_o do_v pay_v unto_o their_o superior_n the_o state_n
