A56751	The unlawfulness of stretching forth the hand to resist or murder princes with the principal cases about resistance, considered, in two sermons : the first preacht upon the last thirtieth of January, the other, upon the day of thanksgiving, for the deliverance of the King and kingdom from the late treasonable conspiracy / by William Payne ...

necessary_a for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o world_n and_o for_o his_o wise_a design_n so_o far_o they_o shall_v go_v and_o no_o far_o but_o like_o earthquake_n and_o tempest_n and_o inundation_n we_o

the_o very_a word_n almost_o of_o david_n it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o stretch_v forth_o the_o hand_n against_o a_o prince_n and_o we_o have_v example_n even_o among_o both_o the_o greek_n and_o
