upon_o a_o new_a form_n of_o state_n or_o such_o a_o confusion_n or_o no_o form_n of_o state_n as_o we_o see_v have_v almost_o draw_v ruin_n upon_o themselves_o and_o their_o country_n once_o more_o therefore_o i_o must_v ask_v your_o friend_n what_o he_o mean_v by_o liberty_n i_o hope_v he_o do_v not_o mean_v a_o exemption_n from_o all_o government_n nor_o be_v fall_v upon_o their_o wild_a opinion_n who_o hold_v that_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v no_o magistrate_n or_o superior_a among_o christian_n but_o that_o in_o a_o freedom_n of_o condition_n we_o be_v to_o live_v together_o like_o man_n stand_v in_o a_o ring_n or_o circle_n where_o roundness_n take_v away_o distinction_n and_o order_n and_o where_o every_o one_o beginning_n and_o end_v the_o circle_n as_o none_o be_v before_o so_o none_o be_v after_o another_o this_o opinion_n as_o it_o will_v quick_o reduce_v the_o house_n of_o lord_n to_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o so_o it_o will_v in_o time_n reduce_v the_o house_n of_o commons_o to_o the_o same_o level_n with_o the_o common_a people_n who_o be_v once_o teach_v that_o inequality_n be_v unlawful_a will_v quick_o be_v make_v docile_a in_o the_o entertainment_n of_o the_o other_o argument_n upon_o which_o the_o anabaptist_n do_v here_o to_o fore_o set_v all_o germany_n in_o a_o flame_n namely_o that_o christ_n have_v not_o only_o bequeath_v to_o man_n the_o liberty_n of_o his_o gospel_n but_o that_o this_o liberty_n consist_v in_o one_o not_o be_v great_a than_o another_o it_o be_v a_o oracle_n in_o nature_n that_o we_o be_v all_o bear_v equal_a that_o these_o word_n of_o high_a and_o lower_v superior_a and_o inferior_a be_v fit_a for_o hill_n and_o vale_n then_o for_o man_n of_o a_o kind_a that_o the_o name_n also_o of_o prince_n and_o subject_a magistrate_n and_o people_n governor_n and_o govern_v be_v but_o so_o many_o style_n usurp_v since_o in_o nature_n for_o one_o man_n to_o be_v bear_v subject_n to_o another_o be_v as_o much_o against_o kind_a as_o if_o man_n shall_v come_v into_o the_o world_n with_o chain_n about_o they_o or_o as_o if_o woman_n shall_v bring_v forth_o child_n with_o gyve_n and_o shakle_n on_o which_o doctrine_n as_o it_o will_v natural_o tend_v to_o a_o parity_n so_o that_o parity_n will_v as_o natural_o end_v in_o a_o confusion_n last_o therefore_o i_o will_v understand_v your_o friend_n in_o the_o most_o favourable_a sense_n i_o can_v that_o by_o the_o parliament_n defence_n of_o the_o people_n liberty_n he_o mean_v the_o maintenance_n of_o some_o eminent_a right_n belong_v to_o the_o subject_n which_o be_v in_o manifest_a danger_n to_o be_v invade_v and_o take_v from_o they_o can_v not_o possible_o be_v preserve_v but_o by_o arm_n take_v up_o against_o the_o invader_n but_o then_o grant_v this_o to_o be_v true_a as_o i_o shall_v in_o fit_a place_n show_v it_o to_o be_v false_a yet_o the_o king_n be_v this_o invader_n unless_o by_o such_o a_o invasion_n he_o can_v cease_v to_o be_v their_o king_n or_o they_o to_o be_v his_o subject_n i_o can_v see_v how_o such_o right_n can_v make_v their_o defence_n lawful_a for_o the_o clear_a demonstration_n of_o this_o i_o shall_v desire_v you_o sir_n not_o to_o think_v it_o a_o digression_n in_o i_o if_o i_o deduce_v thing_n somewhat_o high_a than_o i_o at_o first_o intend_v or_o then_o your_o letter_n require_v i_o or_o if_o to_o cure_v the_o stream_n i_o take_v the_o prophet_n course_n and_o cast_v salt_n into_o the_o spring_n and_o examine_v first_o how_o far_o the_o power_n of_o a_o king_n who_o be_v true_o a_o king_n and_o not_o one_o only_a in_o name_n extend_v itself_o over_o subject_n next_o whether_o any_o such_o power_n do_v belong_v to_o our_o king_n three_o if_o there_o do_v how_o far_o it_o be_v to_o be_v obey_v and_o not_o resist_v as_o for_o the_o first_o you_o shall_v in_o the_o scripture_n sir_n find_v two_o original_n of_o king_n one_o immediate_o spring_v from_o the_o election_n and_o choice_n
