ready_o follow_v their_o new_a guide_n and_o new_a light_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n because_o i_o see_v hearty_a protestant_n abuse_v to_o their_o ruin_n with_o shameful_a sophistry_n i_o think_v it_o the_o part_n of_o every_o honest_a man_n to_o detect_v it_o and_o the_o most_o popular_a argument_n be_v this_o you_o be_v preingage_v and_o can_v consent_v to_o a_o bill_n of_o exclusion_n for_o if_o you_o do_v you_o be_v forswear_v because_o you_o have_v long_o since_o swear_v allegiance_n to_o the_o king_n and_o to_o his_o lawful_a heir_n and_o successor_n now_o though_o the_o lawyer_n tell_v

likewise_o heir_n apparent_a sound_n as_o a_o great_a addition_n to_o heir_n and_o heir_n presumptive_a sound_n as_o somewhat_o a_o less_o addition_n and_o few_o be_v capable_a of_o consider_v they_o as_o term_n of_o diminution_n no_o more_o than_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n a_o papist_n can_v be_v persuade_v that_o image_n be_v idol_n because_o there_o common_a speech_n have_v make_v a_o distinction_n where_o real_o there_o be_v none_o as_o the_o homily_n well_o observe_v whereas_o 13._o here_o it_o have_v confound_v a_o actual_a heir_n with_o one_o that_o be_v only_o in_o
