to_o make_v as_o then_o he_o will_v but_o a_o little_a one_o at_o home_n whereas_o it_o be_v for_o the_o interest_n and_o safety_n as_o well_o as_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o kingdom_n that_o

himself_o do_v punish_v in_o his_o subject_n by_o his_o law_n and_o judge_n and_o indeed_o it_o can_v be_v but_o a_o solecism_n in_o state_n to_o admit_v it_o for_o that_o a_o king_n shall_v punish_v in_o other_o what_o yet_o he_o public_o avow_v and_o own_v and_o approve_v in_o himself_o be_v very_o odd_a and_o a_o self-condemnation_n i_o know_v the_o case_n of_o sigismond_n the_o three_o king_n

and_o together_o with_o the_o roman-catholics_a 1._o not_o to_o give_v a_o toleration_n and_o indulgence_n unto_o protestant_a recusant_n when_o it_o be_v give_v to_o roman-catholics_a if_o at_o any_o time_n it_o shall_v be_v give_v will_v make_v the_o toleration_n of_o these_o how_o just_a soever_o to_o become_v invidious_a and_o a_o subject_a of_o clamour_v and_o general_a scandal_n and_o so_o a_o matter_n of_o disquiet_n and_o trouble_v to_o the_o government_n 2._o ay!_o and_o the_o roman-catholics_a can_v hope_v to_o hold_v and_o enjoy_v a_o toleration_n that_o shall_v be_v give_v they_o by_o act_n of_o parliament_n if_o other_o recusant_n be_v not_o also_o join_v with_o they_o therein_o long_o than_o they_o may_v be_v sure_a of_o a_o toleration_n without_o such_o a_o act_n only_o

the_o grant_v thereof_o in_o one_o act_n and_o upon_o one_o bottom_n a_o consideration_n of_o the_o quality_n the_o number_n and_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o party_n so_o join_v together_o in_o the_o

of_o liberty_n if_o any_o be_v make_v for_o see_v it_o be_v impossible_a that_o these_o two_o shall_v agree_v but_o in_o thing_n in_o which_o their_o interest_n join_v they_o and_o as_o impossible_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o interest_n of_o either_o one_o of_o these_o any_o more_o than_o it_o can_v be_v the_o kingdom_n to_o suffer_v the_o other_o to_o get_v uppermost_a one_o of_o they_o
