far_o other_o matter_n it_o be_v to_o resist_v by_o power_n of_o arm_n as_o be_v in_o the_o question_n employ_v and_o as_o we_o see_v at_o this_o day_n to_o our_o astonishment_n first_o the_o power_n of_o arm_n take_v from_o the_o prince_n by_o set_v up_o the_o militia_n than_o that_o power_n use_v against_o he_o by_o a_o army_n in_o the_o field_n second_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o they_o

that_o it_o seem_v to_o straighten_v the_o case_n and_o make_v it_o depend_v upon_o the_o supposal_n of_o the_o people_n yet_o it_o so_o much_o the_o more_o enlarge_v the_o falsehood_n of_o the_o

choose_v conscience_n it_o will_v find_v cause_n to_o forbear_v and_o to_o suffer_v rather_o than_o resist_v doubtful_a i_o say_v not_o that_o a_o conscience_n true_o inform_v will_v not_o clear_o see_v the_o unlawfulness_n of_o this_o resistance_n but_o because_o no_o conscience_n can_v be_v true_o persuade_v of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o it_o and_o so_o that_o conscience_n that_o resolve_v for_o it_o must_v needs_o run_v doubting_o or_o blind_o upon_o the_o work_n ii_o that_o the_o resistance_n now_o use_v and_o make_v against_o the_o prince_n be_v not_o such_o as_o they_o pretend_v to_o either_o for_o that_o general_a and_o unanimous_a consent_n that_o shall_v precede_v it_o or_o that_o defensive_a way_n that_o shall_v accompany_v it_o according_a to_o their_o own_o grant_n
