first_o he_o suppose_v the_o king_n to_o be_v the_o supreme_a in_o saint_n peter_n and_o the_o high_a power_n in_o saint_n paul_n second_o he_o collect_v all_o person_n every_o soul_n be_v forbid_v

execute_v destructive_a illegal_a act_n of_o the_o prince_n will_v in_o a_o legal_a monarchy_n will_v he_o affirm_v that_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n be_v resist_v and_o damnation_n incur_v

of_o resistance_n will_v be_v no_o fit_a mean_n of_o safety_n to_o a_o state_n but_o prove_v a_o remedy_n worse_o than_o the_o disease_n his_o reason_n first_o because_o it_o do_v tend_v to_o the_o

they_o such_o cloak_n of_o rebellion_n have_v in_o former_a age_n be_v take_v off_o and_o the_o author_n bring_v to_o just_a confusion_n without_o the_o expense_n of_o the_o liberty_n of_o this_o
