the_o truth_n of_o this_o appear_v by_o his_o action_n have_v by_o this_o time_n i_o hope_v breed_v a_o repent_a consideration_n in_o such_o as_o strenuous_o support_v that_o which_o be_v so_o near_o

some_o that_o will_v rather_o see_v the_o violent_a destruction_n of_o their_o own_o religion_n than_o disturb_v the_o quiet_a settlement_n of_o popery_n as_o if_o it_o be_v more_o religious_a to_o

can_v receive_v no_o great_a a_o character_n than_o to_o be_v like_o himself_o and_o his_o other_o write_n both_o which_o be_v victorious_a in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o his_o barbarous_a

he_o give_v to_o their_o redemption_n it_o will_v not_o be_v improper_a therefore_o to_o consider_v the_o case_n of_o those_o two_o prince_n edward_n and_o richard_n the_o second_o who_o be_v depose_v by_o the_o people_n in_o their_o representative_n presume_v they_o have_v a_o right_n to_o reassume_a that_o power_n which_o be_v derive_v from_o they_o when_o any_o prince_n forfeit_v the_o trust_n they_o have_v place_v in_o he_o and_o act_v contrary_a to_o his_o executive_a office_n and_o they_o express_o declare_v to_o king_n edward_n the_o second_o that_o if_o he_o do_v not_o free_o consent_v to_o a_o resignation_n they_o will_v not_o elect_v his_o son_n edward_n but_o such_o a_o one_o as_o may_v be_v proper_a for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o people_n though_o no_o relation_n to_o his_o

this_o elect_v of_o king_n be_v so_o unusual_a in_o england_n since_o seldom_o any_o government_n have_v have_v more_o break_a succession_n but_o before_o i_o proceed_v to_o show_v how_o this_o right_n be_v and_o continue_v in_o the_o people_n i_o will_v take_v leave_n brief_o to_o show_v what_o a_o prince_n be_v according_a to_o their_o doctrine_n that_o have_v with_o a_o unlimited_a zeal_n assert_v passive_a obedience_n and_o the_o law_n to_o be_v only_o the_o property_n of_o a_o king_n be_v arbitrary_a will._n i_o remember_v when_o julian_n the_o apostate_n come_v out_o many_o of_o

be_v prescribe_v as_o a_o general_a remedy_n in_o all_o public_a disease_n that_o be_v destruction_n be_v the_o best_a recipe_n against_o destruction_n and_o the_o disease_n be_v to_o become_v the_o cure_n but_o the_o author_n have_v hear_v of_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o law_n and_o not_o know_v how_o to_o put_v they_o out_o of_o the_o way_n to_o make_v room_n for_o this_o doctrine_n which_o make_v a_o destroyer_n lawful_a he_o find_v out_o a_o diamond_n to_o cut_v a_o diamond_n and_o a_o law_n never_o hear_v of_o to_o destroy_v the_o know_a law_n in_o these_o sublime_a word_n the_o political_a

against_o the_o political_a law_n he_o be_v bind_v by_o the_o common_a law_n of_o sovereignty_n not_o to_o resist_v he_o or_o defend_v his_o life_n against_o he_o by_o force_n it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o here_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o law_n god_n law_n and_o the_o devil_n law_n that_o which_o support_v and_o defend_v right_o be_v god_n law_n that_o which_o take_v away_o life_n unjust_o be_v the_o devil_n law_n for_o he_o be_v a_o murderer_n from_o the_o beginning_n but_o contradiction_n be_v so_o frequent_a in_o that_o discourse_n that_o i_o do_v not_o wonder_v to_o see_v the_o zealous_a author_n show_v one_o in_o his_o own_o particular_a and_o incogitant_o perhaps_o profess_v a_o violent_a resolution_n to_o break_v his_o own_o sacred_a rule_n of_o passive_a obedience_n for_o i_o suppose_v if_o a_o woman_n scold_v and_o give_v hard_a name_n she_o be_v not_o passive_a for_o then_o billingsgate_n be_v passiveness_n incorporate_v and_o i_o shall_v desire_v the_o reader_n to_o judge_n whether_o there_o be_v much_o difference_n in_o they_o and_o our_o author_n be_v active_a tongue-assault_a for_o he_o loud_o cry_v out_o with_o a_o very_a sharp_a excursion_n that_o he_o shall_v rather_o think_v it_o his_o duty_n than_o the_o breach_n of_o it_o to_o tell_v not_o only_o a_o popish_a prince_n but_o a_o popish_a king_n to_o his_o face_n do_v he_o open_o profess_v the_o popish_a religion_n that_o he_o be_v a_o idolater_n a_o bread-worshipper_n a_o goddess-worshipper_n a_o image-worshipper_n a_o wafer-worshipper_n with_o a_o &c._n &c._n as_o if_o he_o have_v more_o name_n in_o store_n for_o he_o but_o i_o must_v do_v the_o author_n right_a to_o let_v the_o reader_n know_v that_o jovian_a be_v write_v when_o king_n james_n the_o second_o be_v duke_n

author_n retreat_v to_o his_o doctrine_n of_o passive_a obedience_n from_o this_o dangerous_a sally_n he_o have_v make_v with_o a_o unadvised_a boldness_n and_o then_o tell_v we_o it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o depend_v on_o the_o conscience_n of_o a_o popish_a king_n and_o seem_o return_v to_o a_o modest_a repentance_n that_o he_o have_v express_v such_o a_o displeasure_n against_o one_o that_o worship_v more_o god_n than_o one_o for_o after_o this_o terrible_a muster_n of_o hard_a name_n he_o fall_v back_o as_o he_o be_v and_o pay_v such_o a_o profound_a devotion_n to_o passive_a

and_o backward_o or_o to_o blow_v hot_a and_o cold_a in_o the_o same_o breath_n to_o make_v the_o contradiction_n appear_v plain_a enough_o this_o opinion_n yet_o he_o stick_v most_o to_o if_o you_o will_v trust_v he_o as_o much_o as_o he_o advise_v you_o to_o trust_v the_o idolater_n and_o try_v to_o give_v you_o a_o reason_n for_o it_o for_o he_o say_v that_o suffer_v as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o thebean_a legion_n can_v never_o happen_v in_o great_a britain_n we_o of_o these_o kingdom_n have_v such_o security_n against_o tyranny_n as_o no_o people_n ever_o have_v i_o suppose_v he_o

the_o political_a power_n that_o be_v the_o law_n can_v any_o man_n have_v the_o charity_n to_o believe_v that_o he_o can_v think_v he_o propose_v any_o security_n from_o law_n that_o have_v set_v up_o a_o imperial_a power_n or_o sovereign_a law_n as_o he_o call_v it_o which_o be_v the_o will_n of_o a_o king_n to_o take_v they_o all_o away_o if_o he_o please_v he_o may_v as_o well_o tell_v we_o of_o a_o security_n by_o certain_a deed_n to_o all_o which_o be_v fix_v revocation_n and_o yet_o will_v have_v we_o depend_v on_o such_o arbitrary_a settlement_n without_o right_n or_o power_n to_o oppose_v those_o revocation_n thus_o the_o continue_a contradiction_n appear_v that_o mingle_v with_o such_o notion_n a_o man_n that_o stutter_v much_o in_o his_o speech_n be_v hardly_o to_o be_v

for_o trust_v and_o to_o deter_v we_o from_o examine_v a_o tyrant_n action_n or_o oppose_v the_o imperial_a that_o be_v arbitrary_a power_n which_o be_v that_o a_o king_n be_v accountable_a to_o
