yet_o they_o
may_v limit_v themselves_o by_o oath_n or_o promise_n and_o so_o our_o king_n have_v limit_v their_o power_n and_o promise_v and_o in_o their_o coronation-oath_n swear_v to_o do_v none_o of_o those_o

for_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o we_o have_v a_o evident_a and_o authentic_a instance_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o god_n almighty_n be_v a_o absolute_a king_n of_o all_o the_o world_n yet_o for_o the_o comfort_n of_o his_o people_n he_o have_v limit_v himself_o by_o oath_n and_o promise_n so_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o by_o two_o immutable_a thing_n 18._o in_o which_o it_o be_v

for_o the_o first_o to_o reprieve_n reprive_v be_v not_o to_o diminish_n or_o make_v void_a the_o sentence_n pass_v upon_o a_o murderer_n or_o to_o free_v he_o from_o it_o but_o only_o for_o some_o

or_o any_o way_n make_v it_o unlawful_a for_o the_o supreme_a power_n to_o grant_v such_o reprieve_n the_o severe_a law_n against_o murderer_n be_v that_o in_o the_o book_n of_o number_n 31._o but_o
