who_o shall_v the_o people_n be_v rule_v by_o in_o this_o case_n but_o by_o the_o parliament_n see_v the_o doctor_n himself_o say_v none_o be_v so_o fit_a to_o judge_v of_o the_o law_n as_o they_o then_o the_o doctor_n say_v those_o that_o plead_v for_o this_o power_n of_o resistance_n lay_v the_o first_o ground_n work_n of_o their_o fundamental_o thus_o the_o power_n be_v original_o in_o and_o

under_o this_o power_n be_v of_o man_n and_o therefore_o the_o power_n itself_o we_o never_o offer_v to_o take_v out_o of_o god_n hand_n but_o leave_v it_o where_o we_o find_v it_o but_o if_o the_o
