A28440	King William and Queen Mary, conquerors, or, A discourse endeavouring to prove that Their Majesties have on their side, against the late king, the principal reasons that make conquest a good title shewing also how this is consistent with that declaration of Parliament, King James abdicated the government, &c. : written with an especial regard to such as have hitherto refused the oath, and yet incline to allow of the title of conquest, when consequent to a just war.	Blount, Charles, 1654-1693.	1693 (1693)	Wing B3309; ESTC R23388	40,332	68

any_o objection_n because_o it_o be_v too_o hard_o to_o be_v answer_v i_o will_v conclude_v with_o some_o inserence_n from_o what_o i_o have_v write_v and_o 1._o it_o follow_v that_o our_o most_o

justice_n and_o honour_n for_o if_o they_o have_v a_o just_a cause_n of_o war_n with_o king_n james_n and_o have_v conquer_v he_o in_o the_o sense_n i_o have_v say_v and_o conquest_n be_v in_o this_o case_n a_o good_a title_n and_o it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a not_o only_o for_o the_o interest_n of_o these_o kingdom_n but_o also_o for_o that_o of_o europe_n and_o the_o protestant_a religion_n that_o they_o shall_v make_v use_n of_o their_o success_n then_o have_v they_o in_o so_o do_v act_v nothing_o but_o what_o become_v they_o and_o the_o assert_v of_o this_o since_o it_o be_v true_a be_v a_o necessary_a piece_n of_o gratitude_n to_o our_o glorious_a deliverer_n and_o i_o the_o rather_o do_v it_o because_o i_o observe_v that_o many_o of_o the_o tract_n that_o have_v be_v write_v on_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n be_v rather_o in_o desence_n of_o the_o subject_n submission_n and_o take_v of_o it_o than_o of_o their_o majesty_n title_n so_o that_o the_o author_n seem_v rather_o concern_v for_o their_o own_o than_o their_o majesty_n vindication_n and_o however_o glad_a they_o be_v of_o the_o unexpected_a deliverance_n that_o have_v be_v wrought_v for_o they_o yet_o be_v they_o over-regardless_a of_o the_o honour_n of_o those_o bless_a prince_n who_o have_v be_v in_o god_n hand_n the_o instrument_n of_o it_o 2._o the_o subject_n be_v justify_v in_o swear_v and_o pay_v allegiance_n to_o they_o and_o that_o as_o to_o prince_n de_fw-la jure_fw-la for_o they_o have_v on_o their_o side_n all_o the_o right_n of_o conquest_n consequent_a to_o a_o just_a war_n and_o at_o a_o time_n when_o it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o insist_v upon_o it_o 3._o those_o that_o refuse_v to_o swear_v allegiance_n to_o their_o majesty_n thereby_o do_v what_o in_o they_o lie_v to_o weaken_v their_o hand_n and_o so_o to_o hinder_v their_o good_a purpose_n be_v guilty_a of_o a_o very_a great_a sin_n and_o i_o the_o rather_o say_v this_o because_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v a_o great_a many_o honest_a man_n who_o be_v not_o very_o confident_a of_o the_o unlawfulness_n of_o the_o oath_n do_v judge_v it_o however_o best_o to_o refuse_v it_o because_o they_o believe_v they_o can_v sin_v in_o so_o do_v but_o may_v in_o take_v it_o whereas_o whoever_o well_o consider_v our_o present_a circumstance_n and_o the_o matter_n depend_v must_v grant_v that_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o swear_v not-swearing_a be_v a_o sin_n attend_v with_o much_o more_o dangerous_a consequence_n than_o be_v swear_v suppose_v it_o to_o be_v unlawful_a and_o a_o man_n err_a

or_o of_o whatever_o other_o issue_n the_o late_a king_n may_v since_o his_o birth_n have_v have_v or_o may_v hereafter_o have_v for_o as_o to_o the_o pretend_a prince_n his_o birth_n be_v doubtful_a his_o father_n decline_v the_o arbitrement_n of_o a_o parliament_n and_o put_v it_o to_o the_o decision_n of_o the_o sword_n and_o the_o sword_n have_v determine_v against_o he_o and_o therefore_o if_o he_o have_v any_o wrong_n do_v he_o he_o have_v no_o body_n to_o blame_v but_o his_o father_n and_o here_o i_o can_v but_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o folly_n of_o some_o people_n who_o after_o

hereafter_o his_o late_a majesty_n may_v recover_v his_o throne_n for_o another_o reason_n and_o indeed_o the_o chief_a why_o such_o a_o conquest_n as_o we_o now_o speak_v of_o give_v the_o subject_a a_o right_a to_o transfer_v his_o allegiance_n be_v because_o the_o eject_v prince_n can_v be_v restore_v without_o the_o very_a great_a misery_n if_o not_o the_o utter_a ruin_n of_o his_o country_n but_o of_o this_o i_o shall_v say_v more_o in_o answer_n to_o the_o next_o objection_n to_o the_o which_o i_o now_o proceed_v 4._o it_o must_v not_o be_v dissemble_v that_o some_o be_v of_o a_o object_n opinion_n that_o it_o be_v no_o conquest_n or_o rather_o that_o no_o right_n to_o a_o crown_n be_v acquire_v by_o conquest_n without_o either_o the_o death_n or_o at_o the_o least_o the_o session_n of_o the_o vanquish_a prince_n and_o since_o this_o be_v a_o scruple_n that_o main_o stick_v with_o some_o that_o refuse_v the_o oath_n i_o will_v give_v as_o full_a a_o answer_n to_o it_o as_o i_o can_v session_n be_v either_o voluntary_a or_o force_v the_o former_a of_o these_o be_v the_o same_o with_o voluntary_a resignation_n and_o have_v no_o place_n here_o for_o whatever_o prince_n be_v conquer_v resign_v his_o crown_n to_o the_o conqueror_n it_o be_v against_o his_o will_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v think_v a_o voluntary_a resignation_n the_o latter_a i_o think_v sufficient_a to_o give_v the_o victor_n a_o right_n to_o a_o crown_n and_o to_o give_v the_o subject_a a_o right_n of_o transfer_v his_o allegiance_n to_o he_o but_o i_o believe_v a_o great_a many_o be_v of_o a_o opinion_n that_o such_o a_o resignation_n or_o session_n will_v bind_v the_o vanquish_a prince_n no_o long_o than_o he_o be_v under_o force_n or_o necessity_n for_o have_v it_o not_o be_v frequent_o say_v that_o whatever_o promise_v a_o prince_n make_v for_o fear_n when_o under_o force_n or_o for_o the_o gain_n of_o his_o liberty_n be_v all_o void_a as_o soon_o as_o the_o

bind_v himself_o as_o fault_n as_o a_o king_n under_o restraint_n can_v and_o yet_o afterward_o in_o a_o cartel_n send_v to_o charles_n he_o think_v it_o a_o good_a excuse_n to_o say_v that_o no_o man_n under_o restraint_n can_v plight_v his_o faith_n it_o be_v true_a the_o same_o historian_n add_v that_o this_o answer_n be_v general_o not_o approve_v of_o but_o yet_o he_o also_o say_v that_o

they_o be_v at_o liberty_n and_o consequent_o if_o a_o prince_n in_o such_o a_o condition_n shall_v resign_v his_o crown_n he_o may_v whenever_o he_o find_v a_o opportunity_n re-assert_a his_o right_n and_o the_o subject_n will_v be_v bind_v to_o assist_v he_o against_o the_o victor_n so_o that_o the_o session_n of_o the_o prince_n conquer_v will_v give_v some_o man_n as_o little_a satisfaction_n

suppose_v to_o be_v true_a i_o now_o proceed_v to_o a_o direct_a answer_n k._n james_n be_v still_o alive_a and_o have_v not_o resign_v his_o kingdom_n but_o have_v escape_v out_o of_o the_o victor_n hand_n who_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v possess_v of_o his_o dominion_n require_v a_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n of_o the_o subject_n who_o have_v general_o submit_v and_o according_o swear_v allegiance_n k._n james_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n be_v in_o such_o a_o condition_n and_o have_v be_v ever_o since_o his_o flight_n that_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o protect_v those_o that_o refuse_v the_o oath_n but_o their_o life_n and_o safety_n be_v owe_v pure_o to_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o present_a government_n the_o question_n be_v whether_o may_v those_o that_o have_v hitherto_o refuse_v the_o oath_n now_o suppose_v both_o their_o late_a king_n and_o themselves_o to_o be_v as_o to_o all_o the_o end_n of_o government_n in_o the_o state_n of_o conquest_n and_o so_o take_v the_o say_a oath_n and_o pay_v allegiance_n to_o k._n william_n and_o q._n mary_n or_o on_o the_o contrary_a be_v they_o still_o to_o believe_v it_o no_o conquest_n and_o consequent_o to_o adhere_v to_o k._n james_n now_o when_o i_o say_v k._n william_n and_o q._n mary_n conquer_v k._n james_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v nice_o to_o consider_v the_o mean_v of_o the_o word_n conquer_a and_o conquest_n nor_o to_o
