because_o the_o declaration_n be_v to_o have_v be_v distribute_v by_o such_o a_o time_n neither_o can_v they_o have_v acquiesâ—d_v under_o it_o and_o submit_v for_o that_o will_v have_v be_v to_o

therefore_o that_o they_o can_v not_o in_o prudence_n honour_n and_o conscience_n obey_v it_o not_o in_o prudence_n because_o they_o be_v liable_a to_o answer_v it_o in_o parliament_n if_o they_o do_v not_o in_o honour_n because_o it_o be_v unworthy_a the_o character_n of_o bishop_n and_o peer_n to_o act_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v make_v they_o look_v like_o flatterer_n or_o time_n server_n not_o

two_o of_o who_o for_o their_o honour_n differ_v from_o the_o late_a lord_n chief-justice_n and_o his_o popish_a companion_n as_o also_o to_o the_o honesty_n of_o the_o jury_n who_o find_v they_o

that_o happen_v under_o the_o king_n government_n but_o i_o can_v impute_v this_o to_o his_o majesty_n innate_a disposition_n which_o be_v wont_a to_o act_v with_o great_a temper_n and_o moderation_n towards_o those_o who_o differ_v from_o he_o in_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o must_v impute_v it_o whole_o to_o the_o wicked_a instigation_n of_o father_n peter_n and_o the_o other_o popish_a

will_v not_o allow_v the_o parliament_n to_o judge_v of_o or_o examine_v the_o king_n title_n or_o by_o what_o mean_v he_o attain_v the_o throne_n yet_o this_o do_v not_o to_o alter_v the_o ordinary_a

this_o be_v no_o such_o absurdity_n as_o you_o suppose_v 18._o if_o you_o please_v to_o consider_v that_o allow_v distinction_n between_o jus_o ad_fw-la rem_fw-la and_o jus_o in_o re_fw-mi with_o

the_o different_a law_n and_o custom_n on_o which_o such_o different_a right_n be_v found_v this_o i_o have_v hint_v before_o but_o must_v now_o explain_v it_o more_o particular_o in_o all_o civil_a society_n there_o must_v be_v particular_a law_n to_o determine_v personal_a and_o particular_a right_n and_o whatever_o be_v due_a to_o any_o man_n by_o such_o law_n be_v his_o legal_a right_n but_o yet_o we_o know_v these_o law_n can_v determine_v no_o controversy_n without_o a_o live_a judge_n for_o if_o every_o man_n be_v to_o judge_v for_o himself_o every_o man_n will_v make_v the_o law_n to_o be_v on_o his_o side_n and_o then_o we_o have_v as_o good_a have_v no_o law_n at_o all_o and_o therefore_o the_o fundamental_a law_n of_o all_o society_n which_o be_v superior_a to_o all_o particular_a law_n be_v this_o that_o the_o last_o and_o final_a judgement_n of_o authority_n shall_v be_v take_v for_o law_n and_o that_o shall_v be_v every_o man_n be_v right_a as_o to_o all_o the_o

all_o civil_a government_n and_o this_o i_o have_v prove_v to_o you_o from_o the_o example_n of_o a_o right_a owner_n of_o a_o estate_n when_o out_v of_o his_o possession_n by_o a_o verdict_n of_o a_o jury_n and_o a_o unjust_a judgement_n in_o one_o of_o the_o king_n court_n that_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o restore_v he_o by_o force_n to_o his_o possession_n till_o he_o have_v again_o reverse_v that_o unjust_a judgement_n give_v against_o he_o m._n though_o i_o grant_v this_o be_v true_a in_o the_o case_n of_o private_a person_n and_o their_o inheritance_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o so_o as_o to_o prince_n who_o hold_v their_o crown_n by_o a_o title_n superior_a to_o the_o ordinary_a municipal_a law_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o only_a king_n by_o law_n but_o by_o divine_a right_n and_o a_o fundamental_a constitution_n of_o the_o government_n and_o so_o can_v have_v their_o title_n adjudge_v by_o parliament_n as_o you_o suppose_v for_o our_o best_a divine_n have_v unanimous_o
