itself_o it_o have_v put_v all_o into_o the_o king_n hand_n and_o make_v he_o arbitrary_a by_o a_o law_n as_o if_o they_o have_v enact_v let_v the_o king_n henceforward_o make_v law_n without_o a_o

under_o these_o circumstance_n they_o be_v god_n minister_n to_o i_o for_o my_o good_a in_o resist_v they_o i_o resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o must_v expect_v damnation_n and_o

french_a dragoon_n or_o rapparees_n and_o come_v without_o any_o legal_a commission_n to_o robb_n i_o by_o virtue_n of_o a_o write_n which_o they_o call_v a_o commission_n under_o the_o king_n hand_n and_o seal_n what_o then_o why_o true_o then_o i_o may_v happen_v to_o be_v rob_v or_o murder_v and_o what_o say_v our_o self-denying_a adversary_n to_o this_o they_o say_v i_o must_v patient_o

this_o for_o a_o argument_n god_n make_v merchant_n and_o lawyer_n therefore_o merchant_n can_v break_v nor_o lawyer_n prevaricate_v i_o be_o sure_a king_n be_v not_o make_v without_o mean_n no_o
