liege_n people_n of_o england_n contrary_a to_o the_o political_a law_n that_o be_v the_o common_a and_o statute-law_n which_o declare_v the_o fundamental_a propriety_n that_o the_o people_n of_o

the_o law_n of_o all_o government_n allow_v every_o man_n to_o defend_v his_o life_n against_o a_o illegal_a assassin_n and_o he_o that_o do_v not_o so_o when_o he_o can_v die_v not_o like_o a_o

no_o it_o be_v not_o that_o for_o our_o author_n in_o the_o same_o place_n say_v contra_fw-la sicarium_n quilibet_fw-la homo_fw-la est_fw-la mile_n any_o man_n be_v a_o lawful_a soldier_n against_o

irresistible_a for_o p._n 280_o he_o allow_v that_o a_o man_n may_v defend_v himself_o against_o a_o assassin_n send_v by_o the_o king_n order_n because_o say_v he_o the_o king_n law_n which_o be_v his_o most_o authoritative_a command_n allow_v we_o as_o i_o suppose_v that_o benefit_n and_o therefore_o it_o remain_v that_o the_o damnableness_n of_o resist_v they_o lie_v in_o this_o that_o they_o be_v force_n and_o murder_n in_o troop_n so_o that_o though_o any_o man_n be_v a_o lawful_a soldier_n against_o a_o cutthroat_n yet_o no_o man_n be_v a_o lawful_a soldier_n against_o cutthroat_n and_o indeed_o this_o last_o particular_a be_v the_o only_a thing_n wherein_o our_o author_n have_v not_o be_v please_v to_o answer_v himself_o now_o in_o opposition_n to_o our_o author_n i_o hold_v that_o if_o the_o sovereign_n can_v authorise_v one_o single_a person_n to_o do_v a_o act_n of_o illegal_a violence_n much_o less_o can_v he_o authorise_v force_n or_o great_a number_n of_o man_n to_o do_v such_o illegal_a act_n and_o that_o there_o be_v just_a the_o same_o reason_n law_n and_o conscience_n a_o thousand_o time_n over_o to_o resist_v a_o thousand_o murderer_n that_o there_o be_v to_o resist_v one_o his_o conclusion_n i_o confess_v be_v very_o terrible_a to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n but_o i_o take_v comfort_n when_o i_o look_v back_o upon_o the_o principle_n from_o whence_o he_o infer_v they_o which_o be_v absurd_o false_a and_o so_o far_o from_o support_v that_o battery_n which_o he_o raise_v upon_o they_o that_o they_o fall_v with_o their_o own_o weakness_n rottenness_n and_o incoherency_n his_o principle_n be_v a_o unlimited_a boundless_a sovereign_a power_n two_o table_n of_o law_n which_o break_v one_o another_o some_o preamble_n of_o statute_n which_o he_o stifle_v and_o will_v not_o suffer_v to_o speak_v out_o and_o a_o false_a pretence_n of_o the_o sovereign_n honour_n first_o he_o begin_v with_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o sovereign_n p._n 200._o by_o which_o all_o the_o world_n may_v see_v that_o he_o no_o more_o understand_v what_o a_o english_a sovereign_a be_v than_o i_o know_v what_o prester_n john_n be_v do_v not_o every_o body_n know_v that_o the_o very_a same_o title_n of_o power_n and_o office_n have_v a_o several_a notion_n in_o several_a country_n as_o to_o compare_v great_a thing_n with_o small_a a_o constable_n in_o england_n be_v conceive_v under_o another_o notion_n than_o a_o constable_n in_o france_n and_o so_o though_o a_o assyrian_a king_n be_v conceive_v under_o the_o notion_n of_o absoluteness_n who_o he_o will_v
