that_o be_v and_o be_v in_o the_o actual_a administration_n of_o it_o which_o be_v the_o only_a evidence_n we_o have_v that_o they_o have_v receive_v it_o from_o god_n for_o what_o though_o passive_n

doctrine_n of_o nonresistance_n and_o passive_a obedience_n be_v found_v on_o a_o irresistible_a authority_n consider_v then_o what_o be_v the_o right_n of_o a_o irresistible_a authority_n and_o what_o the_o duty_n of_o passive_a obedience_n 1._o the_o right_n of_o sovereign_n and_o irresistible_a authority_n be_v that_o he_o can_v forfeit_v his_o crown_n that_o he_o can_v be_v judge_v nor_o

signify_v not_o to_o fight_v against_o the_o king_n but_o 1._o that_o upon_o no_o pretence_n we_o must_v renounce_v his_o right_n and_o 2._o must_v never_o set_v his_o crown_n upon_o another_o head_n 3._o must_v not_o transfer_v our_o allegiance_n to_o another_o now_o the_o dr._n will_v not_o except_v against_o this_o doctrine_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o its_o author_n and_o he_o may_v please_v to_o

proposition_n inconsistent_a with_o itself_o and_o make_v up_o of_o contradiction_n passive_a obedience_n signify_v one_o thing_n and_o transfer_v it_o the_o clean_a contrary_n and_o to_o talk_v of_o transfer_v passive_a obedience_n be_v just_a as_o if_o we_o shall_v say_v fight_v nonresistance_n or_o rebellious_a allegiance_n 2._o the_o argument_n from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o passive_a

than_o the_o drs._n expound_v the_o 13_o to_o the_o roman_n of_o usurp_v power_n in_o opposition_n to_o a_o ●●g●tful_a king_n be_v not_o the_o sense_n of_o scripture_n but_o his_o own_o private_a

therefore_o it_o can_v be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o convocation_n for_o no_o doubt_n the_o convocation_n in_o 603._o have_v great_a regard_n to_o the_o loyalty_n of_o these_o who_o suffer_v between_o

the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o 42._o or_o 60._o or_o 90_o either_o if_o they_o design_v their_o book_n as_o a_o direction_n for_o practice_n it_o must_v regard_v future_a

here_o we_o have_v a_o body_n of_o man_n undoubted_a son_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o as_o great_a and_o eminent_a for_o piety_n and_o virtue_n as_o that_o church_n ever_o breed_v and_o

whether_o in_o defect_n of_o the_o ancient_a royal_a issue_n etc._n etc._n from_o hence_o these_o thing_n be_v plain_a 1._o that_o a_o usurper_n may_v just_o be_v resist_v and_o depose_v and_o therefore_o he_o have_v not_o the_o irresistible_a authority_n of_o a_o sovereign_a prince_n and_o the_o drs._n title_n to_o his_o book_n and_o his_o hypothesis_n do_v not_o agree_v the_o title_n be_v
