in_o burrough_n his_o lecture_n on_o hose_n which_o i_o speak_v to_o do_v he_o right_a that_o the_o title_n of_o this_o war_n be_v not_o ground_v on_o religion_n as_o religion_n but_o as_o profess_a by_o this_o kingdom_n which_o i_o conceive_v can_v be_v say_v by_o those_o that_o advance_v the_o covenant_n or_o allow_v two_o clause_n of_o it_o the_o first_o when_o it_o promise_v to_o maintain_v the_o king_n person_n and_o estate_n in_o maintenance_n of_o religion_n for_o if_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o state_n be_v limit_v within_o the_o condition_n of_o religion_n than_o it_o be_v profess_v by_o consequence_n that_o the_o sovereign_a power_n of_o the_o state_n be_v not_o to_o be_v maintain_v when_o religion_n be_v not_o maintain_v by_o it_o which_o if_o it_o do_v maintain_v religion_n be_v to_o be_v maintain_v therefore_o religion_n be_v the_o ground_n upon_o which_o those_o that_o enter_v into_o the_o covenant_n undertake_v to_o maintain_v one_o another_o without_o any_o exception_n in_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o same_o therefore_o that_o war_n be_v make_v upon_o the_o title_n of_o religion_n which_o maintain_v not_o the_o state_n but_o in_o the_o maintenance_n of_o it_o the_o second_o when_o it_o faith_n that_o this_o be_v do_v that_o those_o which_o groan_v under_o the_o yoke_n of_o antichrist_n may_v be_v move_v to_o do_v the_o like_a which_o belong_v to_o the_o subject_n of_o popish_a prince_n profess_v religion_n to_o be_v the_o title_n of_o those_o arm_n which_o all_o of_o like_a religion_n may_v use_v what_o ever_o the_o state_n be_v under_o which_o they_o live_v now_o will_v i_o fain_o know_v of_o any_o friend_n of_o the_o covenant_n what_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o it_o and_o the_o holy_a league_n of_o

suppose_v religion_n to_o consist_v and_o there_o be_v as_o much_o in_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o same_o which_o both_o suppose_v but_o as_o to_o the_o right_n which_o religion_n introduce_v of_o maintain_v itself_o by_o force_n both_o covenant_n agree_v in_o suppose_v it_o and_o thereby_o find_v temporal_a right_n upon_o the_o grace_n of_o christianity_n contrary_a to_o that_o which_o i_o presuppose_v from_o the_o beginning_n see_v whatsoever_o be_v purchase_v by_o such_o arm_n be_v the_o production_n of_o that_o title_n under_o which_o they_o be_v bear_v true_a it_o be_v that_o religion_n be_v not_o the_o only_a title_n of_o that_o league_n or_o this_o covenant_n both_o of_o they_o pretend_v as_o well_o abuse_v in_o government_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o these_o two_o title_n be_v not_o subordinate_a but_o concurrent_a that_o be_v that_o this_o right_n of_o maintain_v religion_n by_o force_n of_o arm_n rise_v from_o the_o

by_o that_o power_n by_o which_o these_o law_n be_v make_v and_o therefore_o by_o consequence_n make_v those_o that_o take_v arm_n and_o join_v in_o covenant_n supreme_a judge_n of_o all_o that_o be_v
