they_o i_o will_v only_o ask_v the_o justice_n of_o peace_n and_o other_o public_a magistrate_n these_o two_o question_n 1._o whether_o if_o they_o have_v observe_v to_o put_v in_o execution_n the_o law_n establish_v in_o this_o nation_n against_o these_o son_n of_o belial_n who_o thus_o bid_v defiance_n to_o god_n and_o all_o thing_n sacred_a or_o have_v not_o be_v fright_v from_o their_o duty_n

for_o some_o of_o the_o most_o prudent_a among_o the_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n to_o arise_v on_o behalf_n of_o god_n religion_n and_o the_o law_n that_o our_o king_n and_o we_o perish_v not_o
