by_o a_o just_a conformity_n we_o must_v be_v caesar_n by_o a_o due_a compliancy_n and_o by_o lie_v under_o the_o censure_n of_o enemy_n to_o either_o we_o imprint_v upon_o ourselves_o the_o

the_o other_o with_o a_o ready_a compliancy_n make_v answer_n that_o he_o will_v but_o do_v it_o not_o now_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o either_o of_o these_o may_v be_v just_o rank_v among_o

within_o himself_o to_o do_v it_o and_o this_o reluctance_n too_o may_v be_v excusable_a and_o a_o effect_n of_o loyalty_n to_o which_o purpose_n we_o read_v how_o david_n 24._o 2_o king_n 24._o set_v upon_o a_o overcurious_a pin_n command_v joab_n to_o number_v all_o his_o people_n joab_n know_v well_o such_o enterprise_n to_o be_v dangerous_a and_o like_a if_o prosecute_v to_o bring_v from_o heaven_n vengeance_n down_o upon_o both_o king_n and_o people_n and_o thereupon_o when_o bid_v to_o do_v it_o he_o in_o effect_n say_v no_o by_o show_v great_a reluctance_n to_o comply_v argue_v against_o it_o and_o wish_v david_n to_o consider_v well_o what_o the_o event_n may_v be_v of_o such_o a_o rash_a adventure_n and_o yet_o because_o so_o order_v by_o his_o king_n he_o do_v it_o final_o though_o with_o much_o regret_n as_o than_o it_o may_v not_o seem_v to_o clash_v with_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o loyal_a subject_n modest_o to_o argue_v against_o what_o his_o king_n propose_v or_o reason_n calm_o this_o or_o that_o case_n with_o he_o so_o it_o be_v his_o obligation_n to_o obey_v when_o what_o be_v command_v be_v insist_v on_o though_o he_o approve_v not_o of_o it_o and_o thus_o who_o say_v no_o though_o over_o bold_a and_o confident_a may_v be_v true_a and_o loyal_a but_o who_o engage_v ready_o to_o comply_v who_o tack_n on_o wing_n before_o his_o sovereign_n face_n as_o it_o be_v for_o great_a expedition_n and_o when_o his_o sovereign_n back_n be_v turn_v cast_v they_o off_o again_o steer_n quite_o contrary_a way_n such_o subject_n wear_v a_o heart_n but_o
