           trust
           of
           him
           first
           was
           but
           a
           trust

           was
           in
           ,
           and
           that
           they
           would
           by

           the
           precedence
           before
           the
           grievances

           His
           Majestie
           being
           departed
           ,
           the
           Lords
           took
           into
           serious
           consideration
           what
