of the making of your Covenant, ye will finde that it had not been amisse, at this time, to have expressed more fully the loyaltie of your intentions, to maintain the Kings per∣son, and honour. Next, it is necessary to expresse it yet more fully, for our cause, whom ye require to swear and subscribe your Covenant; lest we do any thing, in this matter, with a doubting conscience, (which is a grievous sin) that is, Doubt∣ing whether or no we are tyed by our oath to maintain the Kings authority, only in so far, as it is employed in the defence of the foresaid true Religion: or, at least, as it is not employ∣ed against it. For it seemeth to us unlawfull, to swear the maintenance of the Kings authoritie, with this limitation pre∣cisely. And if ye be of a contrary minde, we are most willing to confer with you of this point.
