for_o rebellion_n and_o treason_n only_o do_v not_o the_o state_n true_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o law_n make_v against_o the_o life_n of_o a_o papist_n quatenus_fw-la a_o papist_n

that_o the_o same_o man_n in_o the_o same_o act_n shall_v suffer_v for_o his_o rebellion_n and_o not_o for_o his_o religion_n and_o this_o ●aith_n he_o k._n james_n of_o ever_o bless_a memory_n
