against_o grievance_n to_o pretend_v a_o most_o tender_a compassion_n for_o those_o that_o suffer_v they_o and_o a_o mighty_a zeal_n for_o have_v of_o they_o redress_v when_o yet_o it_o appear_v

long_o on_o these_o thing_n let_v it_o be_v suppose_v that_o the_o grievance_n we_o lie_v under_o during_o k_o james_n reign_n be_v real_o as_o great_a as_o they_o who_o malicious_o aggravate_v they_o

unanimous_o dethrone_v he_o in_o this_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v examine_v first_o matter_n of_o fact_n second_o matter_n of_o right_n as_o or_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o however_o confident_o mr._n johnson_n and_o they_o that_o adhere_v to_o he_o may_v affirm_v it_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o truth_n in_o it_o the_o convention_n do_v not_o go_v that_o way_n

they_o do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o pretend_v to_o it_o nor_o so_o much_o as_o mention_v it_o but_o go_v upon_o a_o quite_o different_a ground_n as_o be_v very_o well_o know_v but_o beside_o that_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n be_v not_o more_o false_a than_o the_o matter_n of_o right_n be_v defective_a that_o be_v to_o say_v i●_n they_o have_v do_v so_o de_fw-fr facto_fw-la it_o have_v be_v

if_o it_o be_v do_v aught_o to_o be_v undo_v again_o a._n if_o i_o do_v you_o will_v get_v nothing_o by_o it_o unless_o you_o can_v prove_v that_o it_o be_v utter_o unlawful_a to_o dethrone_v king_n james_n even_o though_o he_o do_v not_o govern_v according_a to_o law_n b._n very_o right_a but_o that_o i_o can_v easy_o prove_v both_o because_o there_o be_v no_o law_n for_o it_o and_o likewise_o because_o there_o be_v express_a law_n against_o it_o first_o i_o say_v there_o be_v no_o law_n or_o statute_n that_o the_o subject_n or_o people_n of_o england_n can_v in_o any_o case_n depose_v or_o

that_o shelter_n themselves_o under_o this_o pretence_n not_o only_o to_o produce_v such_o a_o law_n but_o to_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o it_o have_v never_o yet_o be_v repeal_v till_o which_o

his_o argument_n upon_o it_o and_o yet_o confess_v afterward_o that_o whatever_o there_o may_v be_v former_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n now_o to_o be_v find_v which_o be_v enough_o for_o my_o

of_o any_o of_o our_o rightful_a king_n so_o there_o be_v express_a law_n against_o it_o such_o be_v that_o of_o the_o 12._o car._n 2._o where_o it_o be_v declare_v that_o neither_o the_o peer_n nor_o

dethrone_v a_o king_n be_v a_o degree_n of_o rebellion_n beyond_o any_o thing_n mention_v in_o these_o act_n for_o the_o reason_n why_o subject_n do_v assume_v to_o themselves_o a_o coercive_a power_n over_o their_o king_n or_o pretend_v to_o take_v up_o arm_n or_o levy_v war_n against_o he_o be_v that_o by_o these_o mean_v they_o may_v dethrone_v he_o and_o if_o so_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v

not_o yet_o be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o and_o indeed_o how_o shall_v they_o when_o there_o be_v no_o such_o statute_n to_o be_v find_v they_o may_v well_o pretend_v to_o find_v some_o such_o clause_n

they_o have_v any_o hope_n of_o success_n in_o they_o but_o that_o any_o king_n shall_v give_v the_o royal_a assear_n to_o they_o be_v not_o in_o any_o reason_n to_o be_v expect_v for_o that_o be_v to_o loosen_v the_o bond_n of_o his_o own_o government_n and_o deliver_v both_o it_o and_o himself_o up_o as_o a_o prey_n to_o the_o restless_a and_o unruly_a multitude_n who_o if_o once_o such_o a_o

be_v express_a law_n to_o overthrow_v it_o those_o very_a statute_n i_o have_v already_o quote_v against_o depose_v of_o king_n from_o their_o right_n may_v be_v no_o less_o pertinent_o allege_v

whatever_o you_o may_v think_v o●_n it_o be_v ●one_n of_o your_o own_o but_o borrow_v from_o the_o old_a republican_n party_n in_o oliver_n time_n who_o among_o many_o other_o artifices_fw-la to_o
