now_o it_o be_v clear_a and_o evident_a that_o there_o be_v a_o change_n both_o of_o governor_n and_o government_n in_o england_n of_o late_a and_o how_o this_o change_n come_v they_o will_v not_o

to_o see_v what_o latitude_n they_o can_v allow_v themselves_o in_o their_o own_o act_n even_o to_o break_v and_o dissolve_v power_n at_o their_o pleasure_n lay_v aside_o form_n as_o themselves_o

that_o we_o can_v acknowledge_v they_o to_o be_v the_o lawful_a authority_n of_o england_n which_o they_o will_v assume_v to_o themselves_o exclude_v the_o king_n the_o house_n of_o peer_n and_o the_o

therefore_o we_o have_v resolve_v to_o invade_v england_n have_v we_o not_o often_o declare_v our_o judgement_n against_o popery_n and_o tyranny_n in_o other_o nation_n yet_o neither_o do_v they_o
