already_o that_o so_o you_o may_v end_v with_o a_o sting_n in_o your_o tail_n the_o question_n be_v whether_o he_o that_o have_v unjust_o get_v into_o a_o full_a settlement_n upon_o another_o prince_n dominion_n aught_o to_o succour_v the_o church_n in_o those_o dominion_n now_o this_o be_v very_o disingenuous_a deal_n for_o you_o can_v but_o know_v that_o we_o dispute_v not_o against_o but_o submit_v to_o a_o full_a settlement_n only_o we_o say_v that_o a_o full_a settlement_n in_o one_o while_o another_o who_o have_v right_o claim_v and_o endeavour_n to_o recover_v his_o right_n be_v contradictory_n nonsense_n you_o have_v be_v often_o tell_v the_o meaning_n of_o a_o full_a settlement_n but_o wilful_o shut_v your_o eye_n and_o will_v not_o see_v though_o you_o hypocritical_o pretend_v to_o desire_v information_n the_o question_n therefore_o aught_o to_o be_v in_o short_a whether_o a_o usurper_n ought_v to_o succour_v the_o church_n under_o his_o usurpation_n now_o though_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o in_o duty_n and_o conscience_n he_o ought_v to_o quit_v it_o yet_o because_o those_o beast_n of_o prey_n be_v rare_o induce_v to_o part_v with_o their_o quarry_n the_o question_n must_v be_v what_o be_v his_o duty_n to_o the_o church_n if_o he_o will_v not_o quit_v his_o usurpation_n and_o doubtless_o it_o be_v to_o succour_v it_o or_o at_o least_o not_o to_o destroy_v it_o as_o you_o and_o some_o other_o will_v persuade_v he_o and_o you_o may_v have_v be_v so_o hardy_a as_o to_o affirm_v this_o though_o the_o church_n will_v not_o own_v he_o to_o be_v a_o lawful_a sovereign_n for_o if_o he_o have_v do_v evil_a himself_o must_v all_o be_v make_v away_o with_o who_o will_v not_o join_v with_o he_o in_o it_o and_o approve_v of_o it_o must_v they_o be_v all_o serve_v as_o the_o highland_n clan_n and_o have_v their_o throat_n cut_v in_o their_o bed_n who_o contrary_a to_o their_o knowledge_n and_o conscience_n will_v not_o own_v he_o to_o be_v the_o true_a owner_n of_o his_o unjust_a get_a good_n your_o reason_v indeed_o show_v the_o wretched_a necessity_n of_o sin_v which_o man_n be_v put_v upon_o who_o resolve_v by_o any_o mean_n to_o maintain_v injustice_n but_o do_v not_o at_o all_o teach_v they_o what_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o it_o have_v more_o become_v you_o to_o have_v teach_v they_o some_o good_a than_o to_o instigate_v they_o to_o more_o evil_a than_o they_o can_v do_v but_o however_o none_o of_o these_o thing_n ought_v to_o move_v a_o christian_a from_o his_o duty_n in_o which_o he_o must_v proceed_v and_o leave_v the_o event_n to_o god_n who_o know_v best_a how_o to_o take_v care_n of_o his_o church_n the_o bless_a jesus_n have_v leave_v we_o a_o religion_n and_o authorize_v person_n to_o teach_v and_o do_v all_o thing_n concern_v it_o which_o will_v infallible_o bring_v we_o to_o heaven_n if_o we_o be_v true_a to_o it_o this_o nothing_o can_v take_v from_o we_o if_o we_o ourselves_o do_v not_o forsake_v it_o in_o spite_n of_o sword_n and_o cannon_n tyrant_n and_o devil_n we_o may_v obtain_v salvation_n if_o we_o be_v firm_a to_o our_o religion_n but_o then_o if_o our_o superior_n set_v themselves_o against_o it_o we_o be_v to_o maintain_v it_o not_o by_o fight_v but_o suffer_v and_o if_o it_o come_v to_o that_o hardship_n to_o save_v our_o life_n by_o lose_v they_o which_o
